      Which species is this intended to house? :D
    • ZooMania
      Rhinoceros, Spiny Tailed and Lesser Antillean Iguanas I believe :)
    • zoogiraffe
      Rhinoceros,Leser Antiliean and Utila Spiny-tailed Iguanas and Mountain Chickens,their may also be a few other surprises as well!
    • JerseyLotte
      I'm guessing different enclosures for the three Ig species?

      We keep all three, plus Johnstone's whistling frog with the Cyclura and Mountain Chicks with the Delics ;)

      add to Caribbean iguanas!

      I'm pretty sure "Caribbean Iguana" isn't a species. It was a term used by Chester to collectively describe the species which zoogiraffe mentioned because their natural ranges are in the Caribbean Islands
    • ZooLeopard
      There is a Carribean rock iguana
    • CZJimmy
      Do you have a scientific name for that?

      Are you getting it confused with the genus Cyclura which are collectively referred to as Caribbean Rock Iguanas?
    • EvilKittie
      it sed wat i sed on the sign - so i would assume that is the "simple" term and urs is the proper term?

      so yes

      I can see this getting confusing lol. I think the sign did say Caribbean Iguanas, so they must be referring to the three species you mentioned as a whole as it's easier than writing all the separate species names.
