: My iguana Talon has been orange for more than a year now... He turns from an almost brown to a bright orange. Is he ever going to be green again?
: On the bright side, he is not very aggressive. He is just as easy to handle as he has always been.
: Carmen

A number of years back, Sue and I took Gwar, (3.5' female ig) to a local flea-market, just to show her off and browse. A couple had a booth with a huge male ig that was as tame as tame could be. Being novices and sure that Max would not hurt her, we set Gwar down next to Max, just to see what this placid giant would do. His eyes widened, his dewlap dropped, and his body turned orange from the toes to his spikes! The color transformation was like watching a human blush! from olive green to neon orange in a space of 30 seconds! Amazing!
Gwar climbed Sue as if she had been scalded, wanted no part of Max. Now, we know better than to expose a male to a female without precautions. Still, the picture of Max is one that we treasure!
