Snow Iguana
A very unique iguana, the Snow Iguana is a white iguana that has been developed by crossing a blue iguana with a T- albino. This breed has a complete white body, including their eyes and scales.
Snow Iguana are great pets that can live to be over 25 years old in the right care. They are omnivores and eat plant matter, insects, fruits and carrion.
They are diurnal and bask in the sun to warm up at the beginning of the day. At night they hide in rock crevices, caves and under buildings or piles of construction material.
Snow Iguana are very sensitive to cold and when temperatures drop below 45 degrees F, they enter a state of dormant (cold-stunned) behavior. This is their bodies’ way of protecting them until the weather warms up again.
Their skin coloration works as a camouflage and helps them evade predators. Iguanas also have parietal bulges and spines on their back that work as a defense.
They have four legs with long fingers and sharp claws. They use these sharp digits to climb trees and hang on branches, and they also have soft spikes that help them scare off predators from their back.
Snow Iguana can become aggressive if they are not properly cared for, so it is important to keep them in a secure cage with a temperature-controlled environment and plenty of space. Ideally, they should be kept outdoors so they can bask in the sun to keep them hydrated.

Bought a Snow Iguana. They arrived very healthy and in a timely matter of ordering shipping to receiving next day mail. Very full of life animals. Will be ordering from here from now on.

Gift for my Brother
I ordered a gift for my brother (a Snow iguana) through Boabay and I couldn’t have been more pleased with how things turned out! They worked with me on getting the little Miss/Mr to Phoenix even though I’m in Chicago, and were very responsive throughout the entire process. As for the little buddy, he/she arrived safely (and a few hours early I’ll add) and is doing great! My brother was ecstatic and I’m a proud Auntie! I will absolutely be doing business with them in the future. The only thing I didn’t care for was that they don’t have a dedicated phone line, and when you call it says the mailbox is full. However, like I said before, they answered every email very promptly (less than an hour) and were very helpful thought. They have a wonderful staff, special thanks to James, Katherine and Abbey!!!

My experience with boabay was great the iguana i ordered was unfortunately not in stock they emailed me that it wasn’t and quickly they emailed me saying that more of the type of iguana was in stock just a different morph. I got my iguana in a day after they emailed me it was set to ship that day, the next day i received her well alive and non-aggressive shes a baby but she is a iguana. 5 stars all the way definitely a great site to order all your reptiles needs!

I just received a female snow iguana and she is beautiful. her tail is obviously beautiful but she has a pink tint to her and her head and eyes are dope. She is also a sweetheart and no signs of aggression. Very satisfied with my purchase even though the reviews suck.
