[ID: an illustration of a green iguana facing to the left, laying on a log, surrounded by various plants and pebbles. The background is a mottled teal. End.]

Green iguana! Big old arboreal lizard, native to Central and South America. Very common and considered invasive in Puerto Rico and parts of the American South, especially Florida, where it was introduced in the 60s, but in danger of extirpation in parts of its native range.

Out of curiosity, what does a happy iguana look like?

A content iguana will often look relaxed, with their dewlap (that flap of skin under their chin) not puffed up and their posture loose.

They might calmly and slowly explore their surroundings, and will often lick things to check 'em out. They'll look alert but not stiff or frantic.

An iguana who feels threatened or territorial will often hiss and open their mouths wide.

They'll get stiff, stand up tall, and puff up their dewlap.

They're pretty easy to read, all things considered, so it's important to learn how they communicate if you're going to interact with one!
