 Good green iguana breeder

Hi, I am looking to get a green iguana. I have done my research and have my cage all setup. I’m just having a hard time finding a breeder. I do not want to buy one from petco or petsmart I have had bad experiences with them. Is there a good breeder I can order one from?

Thanks

i have found that ryan at underground reptiles is quite personable and has beautiful animals. he has several you tube videos. i called him about a week ago and he didn’t have hatchlings yet, but he’s expecting some soon. you can find him at underground reptiles dot com. kingsnake dot com classifieds are a good place to look. crutchfield doesn’t bother with something so common as greens (he actually said that on the phone to me). and there are some cute pics in the iguana section by this place called DTS herps, but i’ve been trying to contact them without success for two months. if he can’t return an e-mail, i don’t trust him. i just got my little lewisi from ty park; i don’t think he has greens, though. that’s all i know. good luck. please do your research and have your new baby set up properly before you buy it.

Thank you and I will never get any animal until I have fully done my research and have the setup completely done. :)

I found this website http://www.floridaherps.com/products/Green-Iguana.html. I am looking for a captive bred one. Where have you guys gotten your iguanas from?

I have always bought greens locally. Where do you live?

It’s a little difficult to buy captive bred greens anywhere unless they are a color morph. It just isn’t something financially profitable for most people to breed normal greens because there are already so many imported ones in the market. If you live close to Houston, TX I know of an available rescue... There are a few brokers who deal exclusively in wild caught Florida babies, which helps cut down the number of wild ones in Florida.

I think it depends. While rescue is generally better, I would buy a green from a breeder who was trying to breed for temperament. But, I don’t think anyone is actually doing that.

that was the most disappointing thing about the martello eggs not being fertile. i would have loved to have seen those babies.

on another note, though, tiny tello is remarkably calm and curious, just a pleasure to handle.

He was very friendly. I was surprised my friend got one from petco a while ago and when he first got it. It was tail whipping and running around like crazy. This one I can put my hand next to and he will stay calm and he will even come up to it.

they must have handled them. donatello too is a little skittish, but friendly. i handle him and give him a bath every day. i’ve heard so many people talk about how hard you have to work with a hatchling green that i was expecting him to be a little terror. my baby cyclura is real calm, too.
