This stunningly beautiful reptile finds its home in a resort in Aruba, a beautiful island in the Caribbean. Actually I was surprised and delighted to find that many iguanas use the resort pool, and surrounding display rocks for their own personal sunning spots. Even more relaxed than the tourists on vacation, these iguanas are so accustomed to having people around them, that they were most obliging to model for some close up portrait photos.
Amazing looking reptile, great photo!

Thanks Belinda, terrible camouflage though, I could spot the brilliant green a mile away!

Lucky for photographers, maybe not as much for the reptile!?

lol, very true. Though not many reptile predators (other than photographers) lurking around a resort pool 😉

It always surprises me when I turn a corner and there’s an iguana or large bird at some of the vacation spots we stay! I don’t get much of that in WI and if I do they scatter as they see you!

Hi Allyse,
I’m always so excited to see iguanas on vacation, we don’t have any native iguanas in Australia, so its always a treat for me. We do have goannas though, but the colors aren’t anywhere near as beautiful.
