Rex has been waiting all year for #IguanaAwarenessDay! 🦎 

At DZCA, we're proud to be home to several incredible iguana species, including Rex the rhinoceros iguana, our Endangered Fiji banded iguana, and our Mexican spiny-tailed iguanas. 

These living legends face serious threats from habitat destruction, the pet trade, and invasive species. Responsible pet ownership makes a real difference. Be mindful about the animals we welcome into our homes and remember you can always come visit ours instead! 🦎
