The Cayman Islands have several lizards which vary in size. Two of them
can only be found in the Cayman Islands.
Sizes of these lizards range from the tiny 2 1/2 inches Gecko, which is one
of the worlds smallest lizards, to the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana at approximately 5 feet long, nose to
tail.
The Blue Iguana is herbaceous and unlike the well known Green Iguana is not
much of a tree dweller, it by far favors the ground and lives in rocky holes and tree cavities. Being
that it prefers the ground this has been one of the main reasons it's existence has been treatened. Humans, dogs
and cats find them to be easy prey.
Habitat wise, it prefers dry forest or shrubland. This leaves it's homeland to be between the
middle and eastern side of the island.
