SPCA Tampa Bay To Be New Home For Iguanas

Late 2019, SPCA Tampa Bay learned we would be the new home to 20+ green iguanas. 


The iguanas needed to be relocated from their current home with Gulf Coast Iguana Sanctuary and as a For-All shelter with a little extra land to spare, it was decided our Largo campus would house the new enclosure. Construction soon began for the space where these reptiles will live.


In mid-January our staff received their first iguana-care training and went over what to expect with a large group of cohabitating iguanas, the best foods and treats and the safest handling techniques.




As February 2020 approaches, SPCA Tampa Bay expects the iguanas to arrive any day! It will take several weeks for our new friends to adjust to the big change. After they settle in, we will be inviting the public to take a peek at our large beautiful, scaly friends!

Stay tuned for more details and an official exhibit open date! 



*Please note the iguanas will not be available for adoption, nor will more be added to their already established population.

  1. That is awesome, thank you for taking on these iguanas, they are such lovely creatures. It makes me sad that they are hunted down in south Florida, I had about 10 of them and they lived long happy lives with me. They were so beautiful to look at and truly unique. I hope that this brings awareness to people who maybe misunderstand these lovely creatures!
