Emerald came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on 10/17/25 because their owner became ill and could no longer provide the care they needed.
They adore fresh veggies and have a big appetite for leafy greens. Emerald also has a stumpy tail, likely from a past injury, but it doesn’t slow them down one bit—this spirited iguana still climbs, explores, and shows off their personality every day.
Green iguanas grow large and require a spacious enclosure, strong UVB lighting, proper heat, and a diet rich in greens and vegetables. Emerald is looking for an adopter with the space, experience, and dedication these impressive reptiles deserve.
If you are interested in adopting, please see our website for more information.
