Jub-Jub is Selma's pet iguana, although he was originally owned by Aunt Gladys. When Gladys died, she gave Jub-Jub to Selma, Patty, and Marge's mother Jackie, who was highly unattached to it. She then passed it on to Selma. Selma once said that Jub-Jub will eat her remains upon her passing (probably a reference to an urban legend about Vivian Vance and her cats). Jub-Jub is always trying to eat dead things, and once it almost ate Selma's foot, because it was asleep. Jub-Jub also likes roaches. There was also an interesting quote from the video game The Simpsons: Hit & Run; after Homer wins a driving course, Selma says, "This is pitiful. I'm going to feed your license to Jub-Jub."

The name Jub-Jub was coined by then-writer Conan O'Brien. He often said nonsensical things around the office for no apparent reason, one of which was "Jub-Jub".

Most likely a reference to the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, in which the narrator warns his son to "Beware the Jubjub bird."
