The common name of “iguana” is given to a few other reptiles although they are not in the iguana genus. Only the green iguana is available in the pet trade from that genus, there are no sub-species. The red iguana is just a colour variation of the green iguana, it’s the same animal.
Desert iguanas are small, less common, and make nice pets. If you want a larger animal then a rock iguana (Cyclura genus) might be an option. Cyclura are part of the Iguanidae family.
