Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

confused, Need lots of help
I am confused. My dear Lizzy means the world to me. I need to know if she's a rhino-iguana or a green iguana, she's got the horn on the nose, dark gray on head and upper spine, but the rest changes from dark green or gray to a light yellow to a reddish color. I've cut down her potassium intake, but many of the colors seem to very, often in changes of background. I want to be sure she is getting the proper diet, etc. Right now we're playing it by ear so to speak. We took her in because someone was giving her up and asked if we'ld take her. I felt bad for her because she had obvious signs of abuse, neglect, and she was in really bad shape. I knew enough to get her back to health, (lots of veggies). She's perky and happy, but I want to be sure, I don't know if the breed matters on diet, but if it does, I would like to know. Thank you much. FrancesDowdy

Most llikely a Green iguana with Rostral horns...
True Rhino Iguanas, Cyclura cornuta, are usually not given up or surrendered. They still demand a fairly decent price in the pet trade. There is one sure way to tell the difference. Only a Green Iguana has the large subtympanic scale on it's cheek below the ear. A Rhino iguana is mostly grey overall, and has 3 large fat horns in a triangle pattern on the nose. They also have some interesting horned scale patterns on the head around the eye and jaw area. Here is a photo of a 4 year old male Rhino Iguana.

Green iguana subtympanic scale
Here's a good photo of a Green and the ST scale on the cheek. Also notice the rostral horns...usually 2 or 3 in a row.
