Flukers leaves a sour taste in the mouths of most herp lovers, flooding the market with hundreds of thousands of cheap green igs every year.

They were also responsible for the "blue diamond" phase awhile back, where the juveniles don't show much yellow pigment at first, and so look blue. Decent amounts of sunlight or quality UVB excites the inactive yellow pigment and you are shortly left with a $150 green iguana. Wonder how the reds will look after some good care from their owners?

It's not surprising that Flukers doesn't have any mills in the US, they would probably be shut down.
