You can't even see their teeth, but they're there, and very sharp. when you look inside an iguanas mouth, all you'll see is gum and tongue. but make no mistake, their teeth can cause VERY painful bites. just watch them eat veggies, they can literally destroy them.

they don't have any natural predators on the galapagos islands. in other situations they would use their tail to strike their attacker like other iguanas and their claws and teeth are about the same. iguanas adopt postures to make themselves appear larger and more threatening to warn off predators. and, like many young animals, camouflage is always a possibility with hatchlings.
Do iguanas change looks?
i just happen to know that there are severel types of iguanas and diffrent ones have diffrent colors. but iguanas do not! change their color to blend in with the environment!!! for protection iguanas have 3 usefull features a powerful whipping tail with larger iguanas known to draw the blood with it, a very powerful bite, feels like scissors slicing you,, and sharp claws,although this feature is more for climbing than a defence mechanism,.. your iguana may change its color as it grows but it will not change dramatically. if its green it will always be green if red- red and so forth. i have three iguanas of my own i know th ese things from experience. tyler Jones

Can iguanas eat mango?
The post below me is somewhat false. Iguanas can have lettuce. However, they can't have certain types of lettuce as it is poisonous to them. The main two types of lettuce you can give your iguanas is red or green leaf lettuce. It is the best for them. But yes, iguanas can also have mangoes. I never gave my Iggy mangoes, but they can have them. Do NOT give your iguana anything like apples, pineapple, stuff like that...It will eat their stomach. (17 year s experience with iguanas). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, one of the best fruits you can give them. Just remember fruits should only make up 10% of their diet. Feed them leafy greens like Collards. Never lettuce.
