Green Iguana Plush – Vibrant, Realistic, and Perfect for Lizard Reptile Fans

The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana, is a large arboreal and mostly herbivorous lizard native to Central and South America, as well as parts of the Caribbean. These reptiles are notable for their vibrant green coloration, which can vary to include shades of blue, orange, and even lavender depending on their region. They can grow up to 1.7 meters (5.6 feet) in length and weigh up to 9 kg (20 lbs).

Green iguanas are diurnal, excellent climbers, and are commonly found in trees near water. They are known for their unique adaptations, including sharp claws for climbing, a long whip-like tail for defense, and a dewlap under their chin that aids in thermoregulation and social displays.

Though commonly kept as exotic pets, green iguanas require specific care, such as proper UV light exposure and a diet rich in leafy greens. In the wild, they play an essential role in their ecosystems but are considered invasive in some areas outside their native range.
