On our 2017 visit we were told that the marine iguanas were being held off-site (and off-display)
The Galapagos land iguanas were on- show though, but they may have outgrown their vivarium by now.

Thanks for the answer, I didn't know they had Land iguanas too, would be nice to see them breed.
2 spider tortoises hatched
With the cooperation of the esb/eep izoo will be exhibiting Indian gharials starting from August 1. The translation engines translation seems wonky so I can't tell what they mean by 2029.

This isn’t about the park but its owner who also is an importer, breeder, and a broker had some radiated tortoises stolen from his facility. The animals are microchipped.

I really wonder where most of these animals will end up considering that izoo isn't accredited by the JAZA and it's creator has ties with brokers and the rest of the trade most people here wouldn't approve of.Some breeding-results at IZoo :

That might be true, but just look at their track record with breeding rare and endangered herps.
That puts many a zoo's reptile collection to shame.
Earless monitor lizard had laid 5 eggs on July 27 !
!
Mexican beaded lizard has laid an egg .
.
From an undiscovered clutch in the enclosure of the Leopard tortoises a young has been hatched. It has been taken out of the parents-enclosure and is now housed in a seperated enclosure :

For hte third year in a row Cuban ground iguanas ( Cyclura nubila nubila ) have been bred at IZoo .
.
- Burmese star tortoise have laid 7 eggs
- Yellow-spotted monitor also laid 7 eggs.
- Yellow-spotted monitor also laid 7 eggs

Sounds like this zoo has quite a breeding record for conservation, many of these species are endangered.
At least 2 Yellow-spotted monitors - Varanus gouldii horni - hatched
At least 7 Black pond turtles - Geoclemys hamiltonii - hatched
Red-crowned cranes have laid 2 eggs
A Pancake tortoise hatched

@Sicarius has recently been there and has uploaded images of the land iguanas so they are on display. He may also know any other species kept there as well.
