Does anyone know if there are any green iguana morphs or different colours?
I know there is an albino, are there any others, most iggies have orange/golden eyes but I've seen one with either blue/black or very dark brown eyes. Bit hard to tell exactly. Also had a very grey/white colouration.

So do you think this is just a poorly iggy ? The body colour i can understand, though shes pretty active, but the eyes are not orange like other iggies i've seen. I've lent out my iggy manual so can't read up in there to check if there are other colour eyes.

Apparently there are many regional colour variations-a bit like the common boa. Central American igs are more greyish/silver than green, Mexican iguanas tend to be more brown/orange, South American ones have more bluish/blue tones(particularly those from Peru) and Venezuelan iguanas have a distinctive rose colouration.
