Size: Males up to 485 mm SVL; females up to 405 mm SVL. These are also rock iguanas, similar in most ways to the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana (Click < here > to read about Cyclura nubila lewisii) except there is little or no blue colouring. On the quieter islands they bask on roads near beaches and certain areas have become popular with tourists who enjoy feeding them. The Little Cayman National Trust District Committee is currently raising funds to purchase the nesting grounds for the Little Cayman Rock Iguanas.
