The spiny-tailed iguana,(ctenosaura similis), is black with a white stomach.
Itis a more agressive iguana than the green iguana and has often been given
away by owners who didn't know what they were getting into. If you look it
up by the latin name you should find a lot of info on this iguana.
: I would stick to standard iguana husbandry until you can find out just what it is.
: From the books I have, I can't find one spiney that has a black back only. A photo would be the only way I could cross-reference what type it is.
: For starters, stick with an iguana diet, lighting, and housing. Then, spend some time finding out what it is. If you can get a photo, email it to me and I'll see what I can find out for you. Lvsiggys@aol.com
