There are exceptions to the rule, some iguanas are this color, but this is a sign of stress in your average iguana. In a pet that is stressed, the head will be first to change color before the rest of the body changes; the belly will remain green or yellow.

When females change color during the breeding season, they usually develop a soft rust color around their eyes.
this is what I worry about, my iguana has lived years comfortably with my three cats and was a bright green color, but since this week she changed to a yellower color (my mom has a small dog that dislikes her but doesn’t really see her and she has a different bigger cage) could the sound of the ac in my room be causing stress too? It is loudish. And yes she’s a female I checked and her pores are small. She is also chrrently shedding and the brown spots on her tail are seemingly new so I guess that a vet visit is best
