You're just guessing as to what sex your new iguana is, right?

John-Paul
: GODZILLA is 5 or 6 years old, STL 50", SVL 16", I bought him in Indonesia, 3 years ago.When I bought him he was already an adult.But he is still growing.He grew 6" since he arrived home.

: THORN is 2 years, STL 36"( he lost part of his tail), SVL 12.4".I bought him also in Indonesia.

: SHENA is a female, 2 years old also.She is STL 36.8", SVL 10".I bought her in Indonesia also.

: REX is 17 months STL 46,8, SVL 14". He already is much bigger than Shena and Thorn.I think he will be bigger than Godzilla also.I bought him in Malaysia.

: As you can see all of them are from the same region, southeast Asia.

: In my opinion what makes the difference is the fact that Shena and Thorn were raised indoors during their first year of life. Jakarta is still more hot than Kuala Lumpur , very noisy and very polluted.The igs couldnt tolerate to be outdoors!

: REX is raised outdoors, 12 hours of direct sunlight everyday. That's why, I think, he is becoming so big and..so dark!

: Last week I bought a baby female, KENYA.I ll raise her outdoors also.But I am waiting a little bit. I think 95F everyday, 12 hours a day, is too much for her.She is less than 16" STL!!
: Let's see if she will be bigger than Shena.
