I made this image last May while leading a photography tour in Costa Rica.
We were at the Tortuguero National park and this female green iguana was surrounded by native vagetation and allow us to get pretty close. The tail is not visible in this image but I don't mind as is the face and spiny back what makes the image for me. I hope you like it as well.

Thanks for looking.

Size is important but mostly the size of the spikes on the back ar larger on males, also, males tend to be orange instead of green so it is easier for females to locate them when they are in their mating season. Imagine a green male among a lot of green leaves!
