Aww, I just love it! user added image

I used to own about 9 green anoles which all passed away years ago, but I have never owned an iguana, but after seeing your awesome model, it makes me want to get a pet iguana now! :p

Thanks. Decided to go few steps back and remodel the legs from scratch. Back legs were backwards. How ironic is that... going back because back legs were backwards user added image

look good.
the leg of the model is still a little off.
the legs of the iguana comes from almost straight down his head not from the side of his body, thats why they crawl and not walk.

99% of the species at least.

Here's a small portion of it which makes some sence...
