Eastern casquehead iguana

The eastern casquehead iguana (Laemanctus longipes) is a species of lizard in the family Corytophanidae.

L. longipes is found in the southern Mexican states of Colima, Oaxaca, Veracruz, and Yucatán, and in the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

[citation needed] The eastern casquehead iguana inhabits tropical wet, moist, and seasonally dry forests.

[4][5] The eastern casquehead iguana is sometimes bred in captivity, but it is not a good terrarium companion for beginners, as it quickly and often dehydrates.

It also needs UVA and UVB lighting and an additional vitamin and calcium feed once a week.
