This lizard should not be confused with the Blue Iguana which is an endangered species found on some Caribbean islands. This is a Green Iguana that has been bred to make it blue. There is also a red morph.Green Iguana – Suborder Iguania ; Family Iguanidae : Iguana iguana
Editing was done with ACDSee Ultimate 2019. I started by making a duplicate layer and then cropping the image to a 16:9 ratio. Next I adjusted the levels and the lighting and increased the contrast, clarity, vibrance and sharpness. Next I reduced the haze to minimize a reflection and reduced the noise.

If this was taken in the wild, I would say you’re a part of Cayote Peterson’s crew in the Brave Wilderness…
Nice photos… I’ll show them later to my son. 😀
I mean … ‘Breaking Trail’ (Brave wilderness was a title for one of their episodes, I think)
Although the Green Iguana is fairly common in the wild, they’ve even been introduced into Florida, unfortunately, you wouldn’t find one like this in the wild. It’s a color morph that has been bred especially for the pet industry. There is also a red one. One of my daughters has one of those.
Interesting. I still have to see an iguana in the wild.
I’d recommend Florida or Cancun, Mexico for that.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
I have not met you for a long time on this Gary site. I missed your wonderful pictures.
I had to take some time off because the building I live in was having a problem and it made for a lot o extra work. Then I started on a project of scanning the somewhere around 20,000 color slides I’ve managed to accumulate. I’m still not finished with that.
Amazing photographs , well where were you since long time ?
Thanks. The building I live in had a problem with bedbugs and it took a while to deal with all that. Then I embarked on a project that I’m still only about a quarter done with. I have about 20,000 color slides and a few thousand negatives that I want to / need to scan.
Wondered where you were! Love this photo, amazing colors.
Thanks. Had to take some time off. The building I live in had to undergo treatment for bedbugs and that consumed a lot of my time for over a month. Then I started scanning the 20,000 or so color slides I’ve taken over the years. Still working on that.
