Lagartijo de Maya Iguana?

scientific name is Ctenosaura defensor. They don't look like iguanas at all, has anyone ever heard of it? I just found an old magazine with a little info and a picture. It is a kind of spiny tailed iguana.

Those look pretty cool, kind of a iguana X uromastyx. I found one website so far that has any info:

yeah i thought they were pretty and interesting. They also seem to stay a small size which is usually a plus for lizards. I'm not in the market for any lizards, but they definately look like a cool species.
that site is pretty cool, i think that was the only site i found as well. hopefully in a few years there will be more known about them as well as other less known herps.

I wonder how much it would cost to get some of those imported. They are pretty cool.

they are very pretty. they also seem like they would make slightly more compact pets compared to "normal-sized" iguanas. I just really like the coloration and the tail, and their appearance as a whole is fairly attractive.

I have always liked the spinytails. Here is one I had.

wow! nice images, what a pretty lizard. Not as flashy as some, but I really like the way that looks.

Thanks!!

I do not have him anymore, I let a women in California have him. He was a tame guy too. I wish I would have kept him.
