RE: Prett cool looking

They're not crossbreeds - they're an American species of Iguanid, fairly widespread in the south, some living in deserts. Runs on it's hindlegs like frillies do, and apparently bites very hard!

Thta's US dollars, remember.

And also, thousands have probably been collected in the past for the pet trade.

They would cost between $31.60 and $94.85 at the current conversion.
But the do look cool.
