Question: When is a green Iguana not green? Answer: When he’s orange, of course!
Do you think he’s been eating too many of these tangerine-coloured fruits which fall off the palm trees?
Or maybe, he’s been a bit overly free with the spray tan, which could account for his Trump-orange jowls.
Just a bit of Thursday fun. 🙂 Hope yours is a good one.

Toss him some apples and see what happens. 😉
Excellent pic.
Little fruit or HUGE fruit. These are his choices? He just can’t win — unless the ladies like their men glowing. 🙂
Love that orange face!
Yes, he’s magnificent. 🙂
Marvelous color and associations, Sylvia 😀
Thanks so much. 🙂
Positively glorious, Sylvia.
Yes, he ‘s quite magnificent.
Orange you glad I didn’t say, “Banana?” There is a silly (kindergarten)
Knock, knock joke and you keep saying banana until you say “Orange” to:
“who’s there?”
Hahaha I never heard of that one, Robin. 😀
So many impressive! What about that dewlap then?!
Thanks so much. Yes his dewlap is really something. 🙂
Orange color give an sign 🙂 Btw he is handsome. Stunning macro and close up shot Sylvia, really fantastic!
Thanks so much, DellaAnna. He is very handsome indeed. 🙂
Nature…it never fails to surprise us, does it? Great shot, Sylvia!
Thanks, Jill. I so agree with you. I feel so privileged to see this first hand. It’s really fascinating to watch him getting more orange by the day. 🙂
Cutting quite a dash there isn’t he Sylvia! Super pictures!
Thanks, Adrian. Yes he’s quite a snappy dresser. 😃
I think he needs to be careful with his spray tan! 🙂
Haha A bit overdone to say the least. 😅
Those spray tans never work, you know. 🙂
I could tell a few tales about that. 😳
Oh dear! 🙂
😡
Hey! You’ve made a tanned smiley! That’s clever! I can only make the ordinary ones like this 🙂 or this :D.
I did it on my iPhone. 💩
Very cool!
😎
Orange is the new green. Haha, I love you associations. And great photos of course.
Thanks so much, Otto. 😃
Wow, that’s interesting, he’s also quite large!
He is large. About 5 feet long! 😅
Yikes!
Waahay I think it’s he’s got a fancy dress party planned!
Yes I also think so, Gilly. He’ll be going as himself. 🙂
Our geckos change colour too. Paler on the white walls and dark when they live in the letter box!
Geckos are like chameleons, and change colour to blend in with their surroundings. I wouldn’t like to put my hand in your letterbox. 😀
I just flip the opening slot and invariably a little cutie shoots out 🙂
🙂
Fun? What ARE you think, Sylvia?? 🙂 I didn’t realize these critters changed colors, so it was fun to see.

Hehehe The change in colour is because it’s mating season. He wants to be more attractive to the females. 🙂
In all seriousness though, Sylvia, the change in colour is fascinating! Do you think it really is because of the colour of his food, or has it got something to do with a territorial or mating display do you think?
Yes, definitely his mating outfit, Dries. He waggles that dewlap around to show who’s the boss around here. 😀
Do they change colours like chameleons? He is pretty handsome anyway.
He is quite a looker, Gerrie. No, I don’t think they’re like chameleons which can change colour to blend in with their surroundings. This is his best suit for attracting the females during mating season. 🙂
I should have thought of that!
That is interesting. I am wondering his color changes because of environment ?
Thanks, YC. This is his mating attire. 🙂
Ah 🙂
I definitely prefer him green!
Maybe you do, Anabel, but apparently the lady iguanas really go for the orange look. 🙂
Thanks for the chuckle Sylvia 😆
My pleasure, Val. 😃
A gorgeous cavalier he is – but I prefer his green costume…Great shot, Sylvia.
Thanks, Ann Christine. I think he’ll be back to normal before too long. 😃
He’s so gorgeous! He will be disappointed that you saw through his disguise though! 😉
Yes he is, and he knows it. I don’t think he minds me at all. He’s such a show off. 🙂
He is one strange dude. 🙂 I doubt I’ll ever see one in person so thank you for sharing your unusual neighbor. 🙂
Strange and unusual are very good words to describe my neighbours. (I’m referring to the Iggys of course.) 🙂
Just the other day, I met a girl with an orange iguana in her hands….So tender!
….But “yours”is beautiful, too!
How lovely, Anna. I don’t know that I would be brave enough to pick up my Iggys. 😯
Well, it’s the first time I ‘ve had an iguana so close…but I wasn’t brave enough to touch her/him/it…..
Splash of colour, he definitely gets my vote!
Haha I’ll tell him you’re a fan. 🙂
Beautiful colors in this macro.Splendid photo
Thanks, Marylou. He is rather splendid. 🙂
Spray tan is funny!! 😍
Always, Jessica. 🙂
Stunning close up!
Orange you glad you took the photos ?
Haha Yes, I am. 😃
I imagine those are the ONLY kind of jowls that would warrant the adjective ‘attractive’ Sylvia . Great photo !
Thanks, Poppy. I’ve seen lots of jowls in my time, and I agree with you. 🙂
Spoggerig!
He is a bit of a show-off. 🙂
gah!! don’t call the poor fella trump! he’ll never turn orange again! 😋
Haha Don’t worry, Andy. Neither Igasho nor Trump reads my blog. 🙂
Well I’m not a trump fan so that one he can see 😄
😆
Well…….orange should be my fave colour, but not on Mr Igasho. He looks better in green (to match my eyes) hahaha.
Well, the orange is meant to make him more attractive to the ladies. 😆
I vote for spray tan! He’s a poser….
Hahaha You’re funny, Sue. 🙂
😀
Definitely .
🙂 Thanks, Indira.
Beautiful shot.
haha! You are what you eat!
Hehehe Great comment, Nancy. 🙂
