All Beanies sold by me have been kept in a temperature controlled storage area.

Rainbow's hang tag reads (the Blueish Color beanie)

Red, green, blue and yellow
This chameleon is a colorful fellow
A blend of colors, his own unique hue
Rainbow was made especially for you!

Iggy's hang tag reads (the beanie actually Rainbow Colored)

Sitting on a rock, basking in the sun
Is this Iguana's idea of fun
Towel and glasses, book and beach chair,
His life is so perfect without a care!

Take note the beanie tagged Rainbow is not a rainbow color at all, but rather a blueish color.
