Iguanas are native to Central and South America and the Caribbean. I am not especially
attracted to them but some people keep them as pets. I have seen them most often on visits
to Mexico and Puerto Rico where I have requested they keep their distance from me. They
have not always obliged!

I am participating in that delightful meme, Camera Critters!
Check it out and join in the fun!
it seems strange to me to be seeing these little creatures running about. I suppose it is what you're used to.

I like the way iguanas look but sometimes they startle me a little when I suddenly notice one close by.
ReplyDeleteI think they are cool looking critters, great photo.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. I do like iguanas...
ReplyDeleteCool photo. I have never seen one in real life!
ReplyDeleteReally, Carmen? Did you get chased by iguanas?
ReplyDeleteThis is a fine specimen you have photographed here. An ideal camera critter.

They have not always obliged? Ok, so I'm ruling out those two locales from the places I could potentially travel to one day.
ReplyDeleteI went to Florida last summer and was a little traumatized by those teeny tiny lizards.
Oh so cute!

You have a very nice header that outshines the iguana.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot of the lizard.

ReplyDeleteIguanas are not the cuddly type creature I like...I figure they are attractive only to thr mothers!

It amazes me how many people are telling me they like these guys. I hated sitting in the park in San Juan. I had visions of being carried off by iguanas.

I never was chased by an iguana but I was certainly inundated by them - and they grow VERY large!

ReplyDeleteIguanas aren't necessarily little - I've seen some almost a foot long!

I think these iguanas look like prehistoric creatures!

Iguanas definitely don't fall in the teeny weeny department and they like to share sunbathing space!

ReplyDeleteTo me, these creepy crawly creatures are not what I'd call cute!

ReplyDeleteIf you have iguanas like that, I may have to rethink my trip to India!!
What a great photo -- he's quite impressive! Reminds me of my grandmother's stories of her visit (as a kid) to the Philippines and how the iguanas would crawl on the ceiling over their heads -- I always thought that was a bit worrisome. Even more so seeing the size of this one! :-)
