Helmeted Iguana

Check out our plastic helmeted iguana.

This carnivorous tree dweller is a native of the tropical rainforest of southern Mexico, Central America and northeastern Colombia. They grow to 14 inches long with the tail up to twice as long as the snout-vent. Their color varies from gray and olive to browns, with darker and lighter markings.

Our helmeted iguana (Corytophanes cristatus) is made of hard plastic and measures 3 1/2 inches from nose to tail. Although the legs and tail are somewhat flexible, it is not posable. Its name is moulded into the underside. This plastic iguana is great for school projects, toys, novelties, animal collections, party favors and more. You can make a wonderful rainforest diorama using this and other plastic creatures from our gift shop. Best of all, there is no mess, no feeding, and no tank or cage cleaning :)
