Size: Males up to 485 mm SVL; females up
to 405 mm SVL. These are also rock iguanas, similar in
most ways to the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana (Click < here > to
read about Cyclura nubila lewisii) except there
is little or no blue colouring. On the quieter islands
they bask on roads near beaches and certain areas have
become popular with tourists who enjoy feeding them. The
Little Cayman National Trust District Committee is currently
raising funds to purchase the nesting grounds for the Little
Cayman Rock Iguanas. |
