#6 It's not easy being Green!

I woke up late this morning, and had to do the same routine I do every morning, wake up, push the cat off me, and bring Vera out to go to the bathroom. While I was leaving the house I was attacked by this little guy, Vera must have scared him enough to jump off of his sunbathing spot and flee. When I got back to the house I noticed he was sitting on the rock that's outside of our door, so I lead Vera in quietly, so as not to scare him and I ran inside to get my camera. This little guy is quite young, and very green. As they get older they get darker as to absorb more sun in the morning that gives them energy at night. The problem is their bright green color makes the babies easy to see and there for more vulnerable to predators. However Kelly just informed me that a iguana's only natural predator is the dog. Oh well it's still a cool shot!!
Enjoy!
