To sign iguana, start by holding your non-dominant arm horizontally across your chest, palm facing down to represent a branch. Form a slightly curved or bent handshape with your dominant hand and place it on the back of your non-dominant wrist. Move your dominant hand up your forearm towards your elbow, wiggling your fingers slightly to mimic an iguana crawling.
Start by signing 'zoo' and 'see', then sign 'iguana' by having your dominant hand crawl up your non-dominant arm. Finish with the sign for 'big' to emphasize the animal's impressive size.
Sign 'my', 'friend', 'have', and 'pet' before signing 'iguana'. Make sure your non-dominant arm stays perfectly still like a branch while your dominant hand does the crawling motion.
Begin with the sign for 'iguana', then sign 'love', 'sit', and 'sun'. The crawling motion of the sign perfectly sets up the visual of the iguana finding a sunny spot on a branch.
