Iguanas do not have a prehensile tail.
Iguanas can grow to 6 feet (1.8m) nose to tail.
Iguanas use their tails as a defense mechanism to whip at potential threats or aggressors. The tail is strong and flexible, allowing them to deliver a powerful strike that can deter predators or rivals. This behavior is particularly effective because it can create a distraction, giving the iguana a chance to escape. Additionally, the tail can serve as a form of communication among other iguanas.
Like many lizards, iguanas can "drop" their tails. Iguanas have muscle bundles with special attachments to the vertebrae in the tail. These are areas where it is easier for the tail to break, should a predator grab hold of the iguana's tail.
it will soon grow back happened a few times to my lizards
Iguanas are very interesting ! For starters, they grow super fast and most of their full grown length is in their tail (about two-thirds). Iguanas have salmonella bacteria in their stomach to help them digest food. Sometimes, this salmonella can leave their bodies and get on their bodies. (Always wash your hands after handling an iguana!) Finally, most iguanas can regenerate their tails if they need to.

It depends on the type, water or land. Watre iguanas use them to grip rocks so the current wont wash it way, the land and water iguanas use them for balance.
Baby iguanas are so cute there lime green , they can not whip there tail its like a limp noodle tail. they are extremely hard to feed , Probably have to force feed, Its better to get a young adult iguana , being that they take so long to grow.they look kind of like a baby lizard.same size.
