is an iguana an amphibian and if it isn't please give some examples of amphibians.?

Answer 1

Iguanas are not amphibians. They seem like amphibians because they live on land and in water. Most amphibians stay in freshwater. Iguanas are reptiles and have scales. Amphibians do not have scales. A good example of amphibians are frogs.

Answer 2

An iguana is a reptile.

And easy way to tell the difference between a reptile and an amphibian, is that amphibians generally have skin, and reptiles have scales.

Amphibians also spend quite a bit of their life in water. (However, some reptiles such as turtles, crocodiles and alligators do also.)

Frogs and toads are examples of amphibians.

Answer 3

Iguanas are not amphibians, and neither are any other animals with scales. That means alligators, crocodiles, snakes, turtles, etc. are not amphibians either.

Amphibians lay their eggs in water or damp areas--never on dry land--and have smooth skin, not scales. They go through some sort of metamorphosis, like going from tadpole to frog. Only frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians (which look kind of like worms or salamanders without legs) are amphibians.

Iguanas have scales, lay their eggs on dry land, and do not begin as tadpoles or any other aquatic form. That's because they are reptiles.

Answer 4

Iguanas are reptiles.

Amphibians spend some time in the water, and some time out of the water. Examples of amphibians are frogs & salamanders.

Answer 5

Neoczarin is absolutly right amphibians are creatures that go through a staged life cycle Generally they start out living life in water like frog eggs/tadpoles then through adulthood they change into something else tadpole to frog and as an adult spend time bothe in and out of water there are only 3 groups of amphibians frogs, salamanders, and caecilians

Answer 10

Iguana's are reptiles- lizards.
Amphibians usually have a life stage where they are in water- like frogs and toads who lay their eggs in water, and start off as tadpoles and pollywogs.
Salamanders & newts are also amphibians.
Reptiles include snakes, lizards, turtles, tortises and tutara's.
