Breed Standard Most Cuban Rock Iguanas are docile and calm, making them excellent pets. The Cuban Rock Iguana is a large, carnivorous iguana found on the island of Cuba. They are growing in notoriety as a pet, but in the wild, because of their popularity, they are now considered as an endangered species. Highly sought after for their appearance and size, these iguanas are extremely rare and are costly finds. Nonetheless, they are a desirable species to own.
Colors range from dark grays to light browns with some noticeable banding.
In the wild, they will sleep in burrows and other hiding places. They can also be found climbing trees or on the ground and are often seen on limestone or on hot paved roads. Cyclura eggs are relatively large for lizard standards. Females will guard their nests often times for months after the eggs hatch. There has been much debate about the timing of Cuban rock Iguana mating and egglaying.
