Five of the Best Pet Iguanas

Green iguanas make surprisingly bad pets, but that doesn't mean that all iguanas are bad pets. Clint travels to Ty Park's Iguana Land to find five of the best pet iguanas. Is one of these iguanas the best pet lizard for you? Let's find out!

Banana iguanas are neat looking, I consider the Cayman Brac iguanas the best and smartest reptile in the world. Easy to care for and tame and train just like a dog.

We have around 14-ish green & rhinolophus iguanas in our rescue, and several came in as adult male wild caught ones. My albino is flighty as hell. My trans one-eyes baby is as sweet as pie, and we have many greens who are absolute dolls! I agree that iggies are horrible beginner pets tho lol.

[@malusignatius]

Re. the Albino Green Iguana: I would have thought the lack of awareness from being blind would make them more anxious... It's surprising that it chills them out.

[@juliac3933]

Learned helplessness? Iguanas have great vision so it’s a pretty significant impairment. Though that may lead to them being less on edge because they won’t be able to perceive many changes in their environment.

[@malusignatius]

@@juliac3933 That might be it.

[@10nycav]

I don't think it's learned helplessness. It's that their startle and flight responses are triggered by visual stimuli. No visual stimuli, no flight response. (Normally sighted iguanas can be as tame as the albinos, but you have to start handling them when they are very young, and some individuals will tame down a lot easier than others....as you saw with the pied pectinata babies, there is a huge variation in temperament.)

[@hexxuss1]

We've had an albino since he was very little & he still freaks out when we get him out (he's a few years old). He calms down pretty quick though. He's so blind it's not funny - he'll face surf all over if we put him into a screened enclosure (trying to escape the light when it gets too hot). I have regular sighted ones who are sweeter & some who aren't too. *shrug*

[@craigstephenson7676]

Well a lot of times you can cover a reptile’s face to calm them down like put a blanket on them so I guess it’s like they have a blanket on all the time

[@AaronHendu]

My babysitter when I was about 4-5 years old had a huge green Iguana that didn't have an enclosure, it just roamed free, and there was all sorts of fake vines and trees and a bunch of "jungle gym" netting hanging from the ceiling and he'd just chill up there all day with his basking lights. I don't remember it ever coming down except to eat. I've always thought they were so cool, but I've never desired to have one because I knew from a young age how large they could get...and was always warned to leave him be or he would likely whip me with his tail.

[@yiotatort]

My aunt had a green iguana, I only saw them move once when she spritzed them with water they sort of perked up a bit. Had this massive enclosure. They'd be in a slightly different position every time I saw them.

[@amandastakeonit7402]

They are blind from the gate, they know know difference. You are not sending the out into the wild, which by the way wild animals are albino sometimes. I have snakes that have three pigmentations and three of my snakes are amelanistic (think albino) three do not have that trait. All of my snakes are sweet, but the three with amelanism are much calmer and have never shown fear (other than being the same species they are completely unrelated). My other three are sweet and used to being handled but will still "flinch" if you go into grab them (even from the side). My "albino" snakes can see some ( possibly because they have three pigment genes) and especially are aware of light. They will just stare at the source (I do not light my snake enclosures) and they do react sometimes to big movements when it's well lit. They just watch and move their heads, no fear. They live healthy full lives. They are happy to visit with people and snakes a like.

[@sniggolloggins5725]

I love iguanas a lot and owned one in highschool. I really wish your channel was around when had gotten her. They are great animals but i really had no idea what i was getting myself into. I was 15 and just went to petco and made my case to my dad to get one and he caved. I know it was irresponsible to make a decision like that without doing the proper research. I really wish petco and petsmart were better versed in their reptiles because basically when we asked any questions we found out a year later that everything they told us was either a lie or they just genuinely didn’t know. We had a lot of ups and downs trying to learn what she needed to thrive and because of our early ignorance she had developed metabolic bone disease. We hated ourselves for allowing that to happen but we were determined to ensure that she could live her best life even after our mistakes. We did eventually get everything right for her and she was just the best. Honestly it began my love for reptiles and led me to get my BCI boa down the line. Unfortunately my iguana has passed on now because of an issue with laying her clutch of eggs. It was a very sad day in our family because she was a member of the family. You don’t bottle feed a baby iguana when nursing it from MBD without developing a serious attachment with them. Because of that bond she’d only be fine with me going into her cage to retrieve her (I don’t know for sure that was the reason but i like to believe so). Anyways i love your videos and whenever my friends ask me questions about what to get for their first reptile pet i always always always send them links to your channel and tell them to do as much research as humanly possible when it comes to getting a reptile. Reptiles are amazing creatures and make great pets but people need to know what they are getting into because it’s not as simple as just getting a lizard or snake just to have it. I learned my lesson after Bree (that was my iguanas name) and I’m so happy your channel now exists so that we as reptile pet owners can become more informed and become better pet owners to these wonderful creatures. To be quite honest my next snake that I’m getting is going to be a Kenyan sand boa and i would never thought about getting one if i didn’t watch your video on them so thank you. I’ll be sure to name it Clint! (Also a fun side note with My old iguana is that for a year we believed it was a male and his name was Bro but when we found out it was female we had to adjust for a more fitting name which is how we got to Bree)

[@alyssastickels1324]

I’m sorry that you lost your iguana. And I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to blame yourself too much. You did the best you could with the information and resources you had at the time. You also clearly cared for Bree, given that you made the necessary changes and put in the effort to get her as healthy as possible. I hope the people you’ve helped educate before they got their reptiles understand how valuable your passion for reptiles is. I hope you’re able to enjoy the presence of many other beautiful creatures our world has to offer.

[@DFangs219]

Normally I'd agree with the idea, but there is at least noticeable pro's to it like a more gentle demeanor and more relaxed while being held as opposed to some things that are purely aesthetic and cause pain or discomfort. (Ball python, pugs, etc) But I understand where you're coming from.

Yeah, I think that there's a serious ethical issue if people breed Iguanas with the Albino trait in mind, given that it causes blindness. I know that they look cool, but it's not fair to them to have a poor quality of life for the sake of novelty and the vanity of the owners.

[@Dee-nonamnamrson8718]

I wouldn't say it's for vanity. Sometimes maybe. Novelty, sure. But do they really need good eyesight in captivity?

[@meisteremm]

@@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 Whether or not they would need it in captivity is not the point. They are kept in an outdoor enclosure in sunny Florida and Clint even said that bright light can be damaging to their retinas, which also is very likely painful. And if one of them did somehow manage to get out, however unlikely that may be, their lack of eyesight would make them easier prey for wild animals like Bobcats, Alligators, Panther and birds of prey. Creating new breeds of animals has its benefits, but there should be some responsibility in the perpetuation of genetic disorders that put animals at a disadvantage.

[@Dee-nonamnamrson8718]

@@meisteremm Albinism does happen in the wild, and they're usually easy pickings for whatever predator finds them first. Also, I seriously doubt that it is painful. I'd equate it to listening to really loud music. Over time, you're going to end up deaf. I could be wrong though.

The albino greens are really cute, but I can't get over the inherent ethical problems in breeding an animal to be disabled on purpose.

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

I mean, they are only captive. I wouldnt consider them disabled as much as just different, unless the sight quality directly effected something like eating etc. If anything, for a captive species it seems to increase their quality of life by having less sensitive eyes and easier to absord sunlight in captivity.

I vote for the name "Piper"

THE THUMBNAIL IS OF THE STYLE OF THE OLDER TOP VIDEOS!

Do you like it?

@@ClintsReptiles Yes of course!

[@Cinderbloom]

I would not personally keep an albino iguana, because breeding for an animal with decreased vision feels very morally wrong to me, but it is incredibly cool to hear about the behavioural differences that occur because of it.

[@StopStealingMyNameTrolls]

I liked most of the video except for the part with the almost blind albino green iguanas... that's like the spider ball pythons - breeding even tho the genetic defect affects really negatively the life quality... - Before somebody say that it's not bad, please ask yourself: would you say it is cool to specifically cause a genetic defect for human babies that causes the children to be almost blind - but hey, they will be all chill and mellow..... or a genetic defect that causes them to have a constant tremor and have coordination problems is cool? - For me that is really hard to stomach....

[@solus5635]

If it was reversed -i.e. babies were normally half-blind and mellow, yet could be bred to what we now call normal- would you object still? Or, to stretch it even further, say that behaviour an health is not affected; if it was possible to grant children better vision and a higher aptitude for learning, would you agree with such a thing? (for the record I agree with you on spiders and albinos, not the biggest fan)

Komodo Dragon. The best pet lizard? I can't wait for that video.

[@fstaar]

I have a red iguana (green iguana) but i REALLYYYY want a rhino iguana oml there so cute, and their so nice

[@critterchasingkids4760]

In Mexico I rescued an adult spiny tailed iguana when I was in 4th grade. When my dad and I got it out from being starved and squished under a de-hinged door I grabbed it and was covered in scratches after being clawed and tail whipped. And I put it down and then it ran off on two legs.

[@hexxuss1]

There's both Similis & Pectinata in Mexico - both in wild form will tear you up (Similis moreso though lol). Pectinata are super cool when raised from babies & handled though. Similis run hot & cold lol.

[@toothychicken8259]

His name should be Draco

[@adenmelton8264]

Can u do the Chinese Fire bellied newt

[@fstaar]

Personally i think green iguanas make great pets, everyone has their own opinion like u did, and me, green iguanad can be close and locing to its owner, if u take good care if it

[@christiandfeliodfelio3055]

Week 2: Clint you should do a video on Amazon Puffing Snakes (spilotes sulphureus). More people need to know about these magnificent snakes!!!!

[@timbow1356]

100% this ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 They are incredibly under-rated and not available captive bred. (Mostly) This species needs to be focused on more! They are absolutely stunning !

[@eggygeorge]

The guy in the blue top seems nervous as hell, Clint is having to lead him in each section - isn’t he supposed to be an iguana expert?

[@pamelapilling6996]

The adult pied almost blended completely into your shirt Clint. Name him Dav, after, well, Dav 😁

[@ZombieWilfred]

My cousin had a green iguana that was about 6 & 1/2 feet long, and he was really chill, but he'd been well socialized his whole life. We had to build an enclosure into a room of their house because of his size. Definitely would not recommend for most people, but he was an impressive beast. Absolute unit! 😁

[@hunterG60k]

I like Blueberry for a name, because he's a pie(d) iguana 😁

[@suzz1776]

When I was a teen, I knew a guy who had an iguana who loved to smoke weed. He would make a joint or blunt and put it on the iguanas lips and the thing would puff on it and when it was done, the iguana would put it in the ash tray next to it. The thing loved weed and would get mad if the guy smoked in front of it without making a joint for it also. Lol. (Btw, this was in southern California in a town called ocean beach in San Diego, so it kinda fits if u know anything about o.b. lol)

[@ColoradoBirds]

lmfao no way this is wild

[@kawaiizombiegal]

to bad green iguanas are banned in florida, including the albinos too bad tegus are banned, i would love a tegu , but nope, maybe a rhino iguana as a similar lizard in size and heft

[@sthui2866]

Rhino iguanas and other cycluras are probably your best bet

[@paradoarify]

I think these guys can get the permit.

[@kawaiizombiegal]

@@paradoarify its not about a permit, sure it means u can keep them till they die and u cant have or get anymore, , but it prevents breeding, and these guys are BREEDERS,

[@adamcheck4941]

I love cyclura iguanas, my baby is a Cuban rock cyclura

[@Ichneumonxx]

You should make a video about Fiji Iguanas, I fed them once at the Warsaw zoo and totally fell in love with them. Incredibly beautiful, gentle and tiny. I will have a pair one day

[@zacharyalfano9846]

Love those my favorite looking iguana I think I’d rather have rhinos if I could just because bigger is better to me.

[@Ichneumonxx]

@@zacharyalfano9846 ah yes, more scaly body to cuddle :D if I ever get to keep the big stuff, I think I'll go back to hydrosauruses. They're badass and they know it.

[@KurNorock]

This video needs more camera shaking.

[@ClintsReptiles]

Agreed. We did the best that we could.

[@literallypigeon4766]

Please make a dedicated video for the banana pectinata !

[@confusedfloatyheadguy1968]

you should name him Poe

[@marquesdabest]

Hey clint could you do a video on sailfin dragons

[@ClintsReptiles]

Agreed

[@marquesdabest]

Thank you 😊 love your vids some animals I never thought I would get until I saw your videos

[@marquesdabest]

@@ClintsReptiles had ordered one recently but can't seem to find much information on them

[@stefanopirletti3561]

Those pied iguanas have such an insane pattern, they remind me of urban mixed up with digital camouflage, so incredible, if it was my call I was gonna name him Urban just for that

[@chrisamey3592]

Hey Clint can we get an update or video on how your pied pectinata is doing? Do you still consider it the best pet iguana?
