Blue-lipped Iguana?

Not really a new species, but this is first time I’ve noticed any iguana with blue lips! (Okay, I just looked in my gallery and one at Punta Leona had his whole head blue! 🙂 ) It is an immature Spiny-tailed Iguana and I have no explanation for the blue lips or earlier blue head!   🙂   Here’s 3 shots of him the other day in my Guarumo/Cecropia Tree . . .

See my Spiny-tailed Iguana Gallery with photos from all along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. They only live on the Pacific Slope, while Green Iguanas live along both coasts, both mainly in the lowlands or lower hills but never in the high mountains.
