I have no idea as far as iguanas go, but I do know that birds are successfully sexed by DNA analysis and that it is common practice. (you know, birds somehow fall into the category with repiles). Maybe it is similar, a vet should know.
It's just an idea. Lisette

: I am looking for information pertaining to the DNA method of sexing green iguanas without any success.In the book GREEN IGUANA by James W Hatfield, it is mentioned that their sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes.Can anyone verify this?
