Iguanaland Iguanaland - Punta Gorda ( Florida )
- Thread starter vogelcommando
- Start date
I am about to visit this institution in the coming week, has anyone else here been? Very excited to see how this place is operating and what species they have.
Get a species list if you can!
I'll certainly give it a try! Worried I'll skip over something but it seems like a pretty organized facility nonetheless!Get a species list if you can!
The owner (Mr. Park) is really nice, I am sure they will give you a list if you ask. They do a lot of sales of the animals too, so they likely have a list of at least those animals.
Mention that you're a YouTuber, they generally seem very open to collabs
On May 7th, it was announced that (0.0.2) yellow-footed tortoises named Maize and Tippy were acquired from Palm Beach Zoo in Florida earlier in the week.

Species list from the visit by @Leaf Productions split to its own thread, here: Iguanaland species list, May 2022 [Iguanaland]
Oh gosh, that's a lot of responsibility! Thanks boss haha
I'm hoping to secure an answer here - Is Iguanaland the only holder of anegada iguanas?
According to a previous post all of the remaining breeding Anegada were moved there, so pretty much.
According to a Facebook reply they will be applying for ZAA membership soon. This should smooth over some of the issues with Ft. Worth sending their Anegada iguana there as Fort Worth is both ZAA and AZA.
It may, but I'm not sure as I remember the issue being the AZA was not happy with Fort Worth sending the iguanas, and I doubt the AZA sees much as a difference between ZAA and completely unaccredited aside from the select approved institutions they work with.
