There were also 4 unsigned rock iguana exhibits that were empty on my visit due to low temperatures. I assume the species that normally occupy them can be found in other enclosures in the park.
 
That's quite a crazy collection of large lizards and chelonians, in particular. How is the display standard?

Many of the species were off-exhibit due to cold weather on my visit, but from what I saw, everyone is given ample space. The layout of the place is pretty much rows upon rows of lizard cages and turtle ponds, so it is a little bit repetitive, but still a very neat facility.

Fantastic! How is the place doing after the hurricane?

All of the on-show enclosures are perfectly fine and all the animals made it through safely. The only remaining damage is the behind-the-scenes areas, which you can see on the private tour. My tour guide explained that they struggle with a shortage of staff, so cleaning up back there is not a top priority at the moment.
 
A further question. Most of the chelonians are only listed in a single exhibit - is there any evidence that there are breeding efforts underway or is it a bit of a postage stamp collection?

As far as I know, they breed a decent amount of their turtles and tortoises, but I think it’s more the latter. The owner recently posted on social media that he wants to expand their collection to include 180 Chelonian species (around 70 more than the current collection).

180 would be a handful more than what I believe is the total number of species on display throughout the entire country, anywhere - so that would truly be a huge accomplishment if successful.

It would be a bit odd if Iguanaland ends up having far more turtles than iguanas :p
 
The next issue of Zoo Grapevine & International Zoo News (Summer 2024) will have a big review of Iguanaland, written by Tim Brown. He just visited that Florida establishment a couple of months ago and said there's approximately 250 total species now. I am looking forward to reading all about that zoo, which only just opened in 2022.
