Title: Nose Spikes


JUMAN - January 10, 2005 03:53 AM (GMT)
My Charlie has three little spikes on his nose. The little iguanas in the pet stores don't have those. Is there a cross between two different kinds or something?

Do you have a picture? What do you mean by "spikes"?

There are just three spikes on his nose. They are like the spikes on his back. They aren't too hard or anything. I don't have a digi so I can't take any pics. :(

If that's what they are, your iguana is probably from a certain area in South America. I think it's Central America where they all have those spikes. He's not a different species though. My first ig had two little spikes like that.

Yeah they are sort of like that. Except there are three of them. well at least now I know where he's from! Thanks to both of you. :)
