Most pets communicate with their owners in many different ways.
Most people can recognize the obvious ones such as an angry barking dog, a hungry kitten rubbing up against a leg, or a happily chirping bird, but the ways an iguana communicates can be a little bit harder to recognize. Even though iguanas don't bark, growl or make many noticable sounds, they do have many different ways they communicate. Learning how an iguana communicates with people and other creatures, through body language, can be very helpful in forming a happy and tolerable relationship between an iguana and its owner. Throughout this page, there will be several references to various parts of the iguanas anatomy. For explanations about these body parts, please refer to our Anatomy page for more details.
