	Care of Cyclura
		Although cyclura tend to be less sensitive to diets with some animal protein than green iguanas are, I do not feel it is necessary to feed animal protein of any kind to cyclura, and too much can certainly lead to similar detrimental health effects that green iguanas often suffer.
		While they do like to climb, cyclura iguanas (also known as ground or rock iguanas) also feel comfortable on the ground and are often seen sunning on rocks of limestone or on hot paved roads in the wild.
		Cyclura in the wild like to sleep in burrows in the ground at night, rather than retreat to trees, so a hide box made out of a large cardboard box or a dog house may be appreciated.

		Cycluras tend to be more robust than Iguana iguana, and generally have a shorter, heavier tail.
		Jamaican iguanas (Cyclura collei) were thought to be extinct until recently when a breeding population was discovered in the remote region of the Hellshire Hills.
		Ricord's iguanas (Cyclura ricordi), which share habitat with the larger Rhinoceros iguanas on the island of Hispaniola, are still plentiful in remote regions, but they are declining in numbers.

	Cyclura Caresheet
		I have never seen my Cyclura drink standing water from a water dish, nor drink from a container they might be soaking in (BDs sometimes do this), nor drink water droplets from a sprayer nor drink from rainfall.
		Cyclura represent a long-term commitment and are not an impulse purchase by any means.
		As a general rule, most cyclura will lose their flighty nature by around 2 years of age or when about 2 feet in total length (head to tail).

	Cyclura99's Home Page
		The care and maintenance for hatchling cyclura what ever species is quite easy, if you have experience with other species such as the green iguana, (iguana iguana) you will have no problem raising a cyclura.
		The size of most cyclura range from 6lbs for females of c.nubila nubila to 25 pounds or more for a c.cornuta cornuta or a large adult male c.nubila nubila.
		Breeding of cyclura species.I currently breed three species of cyclura, c.cornuta cornuta =rhino iguana, c.nubila nubila= cuban iguana(mayaguez population) c.n.lewisi hybrid = grand cayman island iguana crossed with c.n.caymanensis.

		The characters considered to distinguish the Mona Cyclura from the Hispaniolan counterpart are the absence of an interclary row of scales between rosteral and nasals, and a double row of scales between the median and frontal horn and the last one of the prefrontal shields or horns (02, 01).
		A symbiont of the Mona iguana is the terrestrial hermit crab (Coenobita clypeatus).
		Future threats to the survival of Cyclura stejnegeri include intensive recreational use of Mona Island, continued disturbance of significant nesting habitats, inadequate protection of important areas, interuption of sensitive periods of the species life cycle, and the increase in, and inadequate control measures of, introduced mammal populations on Mona Island (08).

		I would imagine price would depend on how old the animal that you are purchasing is. Years ago I paid $180-$200 for yearlings, $400 for a 7 year old female.
		Cyclura seem to be much more tolerant of a wide temperature range than Green Iguanas.

	Cyclura Care Sheet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cyclura are largely herbivorous lizards and despite many out of date books that suggest the need for animal protein, Cyclura do not need animal protein of any kind, and will thrive on a 100% vegetarian diet, similar to that of Green Iguanas.
		Cyclura care is similar to that of the Green Iguana (Iguana iguana), but there are some major differences.
		At Cyclura breeding facilities in America and on their native islands, Cyclura always breed in the spring or early summer, lay their eggs in the summer, and the babies hatch in the fall.

	Cayman Islands ground iguana - Cyclura nubila: More Information - ARKive
		The reproductive behaviour of this iguana is similar to that of other rock iguanas (Cyclura), with males displaying strong territorialism, aggressively defending access to females within their territory.
		The smallest, youngest males do not hold territories and during the breeding season move from one territory to another attempting to court females and avoid detection by resident males (4).
		Thus, in this case the Cyclura nubila nubila is the nominate subspecies of the Cayman Islands ground iguana, Cyclura nubila.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Cyclura lewisi
		Comparison with other Cyclura species in the region strongly suggests there was once a coastal population of Cyclura lewisi, which was gradually displaced or extirpated by human settlements and the construction of a perimeter highway.
		The sparse interior population is believed to have been attracted to agricultural clearance, where in 1993 the remnant wild population was focused in the intergrade between dry forest/shrubland, and traditional fruit farms.
		Occasional specimens of the closely related Cyclura nubila caymanensis from Little Cayman, have been found free in western Grand Cayman as a result of deliberate or accidental transport of hatchlings on boats and aircraft.

		If Cyclura lewisi and Cyclura nubila caymanensis are artificially brought into contact, they can still breed and produce fertile offspring.
