What is mexico iguanas?

Mexico is home to several species of iguanas, including the green iguana (Iguana iguana), black spiny-tailed iguana (Ctenosaura similis), and the Mexican beaded lizard (Hela heloderma).

Green iguanas are the most commonly found in Mexico and are known for their bright green coloration, although they can also be tan or brown. They are arboreal and can be found residing in trees near water sources in humid tropical and subtropical forests, as well as near rivers and streams.

Black spiny-tailed iguanas, also called "spiny-tailed iguanas" can be found in various regions in Mexico, especially in the Yucatan Peninsula. They prefer xeric landscapes with moderate to high temperatures.

The Mexican beaded lizard is a venomous species that is native to western Mexico. They are known for their black and yellow or black and orange banded skin, and can be found living in rocky arid or semi-arid habitats.

Iguanas are often considered a delicacy in Mexico and are still hunted and eaten by some people despite conservation efforts to protect them. They are also commonly kept as pets and are sometimes released into the wild, which can have detrimental impacts on native populations.
