First Ctenosaura hatchling of 2025. Even with so many challenges with having a zoo this size, I’m happy I endured—-when I can admire the miracle of giving life and seeing and hearing children being amazed at the wonder of reptiles.

Our monthly feature on the morning show. Joe did an amazing job.

Please suggest which reptile species Joe should showcase next month!!!

Joe, the lead keeper at Iguanaland, brought in Dallas to the Gulf Coast News studio. Dallas is an Anegada rock iguana, a very rare species of reptile.

Joe will be on the ABC Morning show at 9:45. He will be talking about why i name the zoo Iguanaland and our effort towards iguana conservation. There are 46 species of iguananids in the world and 2/3 are endangered or critically endangered species. We are commited to help saving these iconic lizards.

Thank you all for taking the time to write these reviews!!!

Building and maintaining a zoo like this hasn’t been easy but everyday, I feel more confident that Iguanaland will become financially self supporting and there will be a day when I won’t have to support it to continue. Most successful zoo are subsidized by supporters, benefactors, local and federal subsidies and others. I have never asked for finencial help from anyone for Iguanaland. All donations received has gone to help others and conservation work.

However, I’m extremely grateful to my friends, volunteers, staff and family for continuing to cheer me on and helping me with events such as Igunafest and Tuetlefest.

It’s busy Monday morning: Joe is doing a great job, showing our guests some of our ambassador animals. My core mission is to change people from fearing reptiles to appreciating reptiles.

Parson’s chameleon is one of the largest species of chameleons in the world —-reaching 2’ plus. This species is endemic to the island of Madagascar and is my favorite species of chameleon due to its gentle and slow nature.
