Out of curiosity, what does a happy iguana look like?
A content iguana will often look relaxed, with their dewlap (that flap of skin under their chin) not puffed up and their posture loose.
Tumblr media
They might calmly and slowly explore their surroundings, and will often lick things to check 'em out. They'll look alert but not stiff or frantic.
Tumblr media
An iguana who feels threatened or territorial will often hiss and open their mouths wide.
Tumblr media
They'll get stiff, stand up tall, and puff up their dewlap.
Tumblr media
They're pretty easy to read, all things considered, so it's important to learn how they communicate if you're going to interact with one!

This iguana named spike is recovering from eye surgery, so the keepers made him a patch with a googly eye on it.
