when he pulled out the iguana my leopard gecko said wow diamond got big 😂

I wanted one growing up.. until I got older and did research.. Thing needs a larger enclosure than the bedroom I had 🤣

A few years ago i was thinking about getting a green iguana, a friend of mine had an adult and asked me to pet sit for her for a couple of weeks by the time she came to pick him up i knew that an iguana is not the pet for me. I think if more people had the experience of looking after a pet (especially reptiles) they would find out that there not the right pet for them without putting an animals life at risk and massively reduce the number in rescues

Good video. I had a green iguana named Harley for 9 years, you make many good points. I bought mine in the late 80s before the internet obviously. There really was no information out there besides a few herp mags, word of mouth and maybe if you were lucky an knowledgeable guy at the pet shop. We just kind of learned by doing. Harley was mellow most of the time, but he was always kind of cranky. I ended up gifting him to my brother when he moved down south so Harley could be kept outside, and moved on to my next project: A Nile monitor. I must be a glutton for punishment.

I had Fluffy's care on a routine too, timers for his lights, prepped several days of his fresh food at the same time on the same days every week, he had free roaming of the house but mostly he chose to be on his book shelf by my desk. A piece of masking tape on his lights i wrote the date i replaced his UVB bulb last so i knew when to replace it, and when it was warm, i did have him outside in a large wire enclosure i built. Routine makes everything easier once you have it set.

I had a huge Green iguana 25 years ago. Very large but also very docile. He was awesome and a great experience. I had several others but none as large and none that I held on to for a long time back in the day (mid 90's). They eventually made them illegal to have here in Maine. I would certainly get another one if the opportunity arose but I have lots of experience and the space for them. If I did not, I would not. Know and understand your capabilities.

My green iguana story is when I first moved to Florida in 1976 I got a job working for Jones and Scully. The site if the nursery was near Miami International Airport. There was an animal importer that was near by that was broken into before I moved there and in pervious years they even had a problem of iguanas eating cattleya flowers. Anyway after work after a thunderstorm had passed stretched out on the road was a good 4 foot iguana. So I leapt out of my 1968 Camaro locking the keys in the car with the engine running, at least I put it in park!. I also found out quickly that green iguanas half dead in Chicago are not what a wild iguana is like. Tail whips draw blood and the claws are really sharp! So I walk back to the nursery warehouse to get a box and a coat hanger to pop the lock. BTW those iguanas were from South America and were very cold sensitive the freeze of 1977 really did a number on them, they did come back from being cold stunned but they just shut down wouldn't eat and just starved to death. The real iguana problem started with the 80's iguana boom when ranched animals were brought in from El Salvador , pacific coast of Central America they had a lot more cold resistance.

My brother’s iguana, dog, was free-roaming most of the time and could usually be found on the cat tree. The cats thought about protesting but dog pulled his tail back and bobbed his head and the cats remembered they had somewhere else they would rather be. When he had to be contained he was content to be in the sunroom. His was constantly handled and very relaxed, though he thought my sister smelled pretty and flirted with her, by biting her nose. I enjoyed living with dog but I would never get an iguana for myself.

Great video, Adam. I really love your format, your style, your editing, and your content. In my opinion, you are a shining example of what's great for reptile content on KZfaq

My husband and I have a female green iguana. She'll turn 10 in July, and it's been quite a journey. She's used to us handling her, and is pretty chill, but as much as we love her, they don't belong in an enclosure or medium- cold weather, they seriously need heat, sunlight, humidity and specific nutrients.

Green iguana was the first reptile I ever bought when I was 13.... Got him for $20 at a pet store lol. Things were great... until he got huge. From that moment, I always fully researched every reptile before buying so I knew what I was getting myself into lol. Love iguanas but definitely would not recommend them to 99% of people as pets.

Hey Adam. You are always killing it with your vids. Love ‘em. Doug is a beautiful beast. You can tell He loves his pets and scratchies. Frankie is adorable too. The pet trade is a bit difficult to figure out…what you can have in your state, country, county… gets crazy lol. Thanks for another great vlog! ❤

Green iguana was my second ever reptile .rescued him 3 years ago . His puppy dog tame now but man he was hard work and man he takes up soooo much space .

I'm vacationing in costa rica and the spinny tailed iguana is about 10 to 1 ratio to the green iguana. But there's lots everywhere

I’m So glad that iguanas aren’t nearly as popular in the hobby as they were back in the early and mid 90s. They used to be at every damn pet store then and few had any idea what they truly entailed - do there were so many released or given up. My friend rescued 2 of them and he literally gave them a bedroom of their own. This was in LA so the weather cooperated and they also had an outdoor area but they were pretty nasty to boot but at least they weee well taken care of. He used to joke ‘in lieu of a wife’ he had the Dino-twins.

Years ago a kid in the neighborhood had a green iguana he’d bring down to visit. The iguana was very sweet and well socialized…but still young…maybe 2.5to 3 feet long. He’d hang out with me in the back yard, enjoy scratches and wander around in the grass.

I loved having Fluffy! He was my iguana that was supposed to be for my daughter (she named him) he attached to me. He did get big, he could be agressive about certain colors or when he saw his reflection. His care was a bit more complicated but that works for me, i for some reason enjoy doing minute, detail oriented stuff. Twice a week i would chop up Fluffy salad of mixed greens, carrot, green beans, squash, zuchini, ect... into bite sized pieces and added vitamin powder and alfalfa pellets to it. We did have to make a lot more changes to our own lives to accomodate him. But most of the time he was like a large scaly dog. He didnt live in an indoor cage, he ha several resting places on top of bookshelves and entertainment center with water pans, heat mats and UVB lights hanging over then but he had a favorite shelf. He had a good temperament with people, i was always taking him to the schools for my kids classes. I miss him so much. Weird thing about them, Fluffy was extremely routine oriented. He wanted to do the same things every single day at the same time. I have ADD and horrible at keeping time. I realized after a while i had begun to use Fluffy's routine to help me keep up with what i needed to do, like when to pick up my kids from school.

Franky was like "Hey lil mama lemme whisper in ya ear. Get yoself togetha go and buy some new gear."

Iguana owner of 3 years here I have 3 of them and for anyone has one in my experience they get more docile the bigger they get and the more space they have. I keep 2 of mine in a 8x4x7 foot grow tent and being able to actually go into their enclosure a place they're comfortable in and spend time with them has worked wonders when for me when it comes to handling

Woody Standstill was my iguana and he was almost 6 feet long from nose to tail. I got him from an Aunt and whose son wanted one and then decided it was to much. I already had Retic (Sir Hiss A Lot, we got this guy from Grandpa when he was too old to care for him) that had his own room with space to spare. Woody was not handleable when I got him and after a few years, he was pretty great. I kept them both until I had my first born and had to rehome them (Sir was big enough to get the kid and Woody required way to much attention with a newborn). A different uncle built Woody an amazing enclosure outside where he lived for the rest of his life and Sir went to live with the fella down the road who had snakes of his own (he bought rats from me. 😂) and was still there when I moved 5 years later.

Honestly, if you want a better option for an animal but still want a bigger lizard with a similar diet, get a rhino iguana. They have become much more affordable in the US and are usually pretty chill.

Hey I helped pick that thumbnail! I love that you’ve been doing more than top 5’s!

I had a huge male around 20 years ago he passed away about 10 years ago he was older when I got him❤ he is one of my favorite pets I have ever owned I barely kept him in his enclosure because he didn't want to be in it he wanted to be out with me and my cats and the kids. He never tried to hurt anybody with his mouth or his tail the only time I had to be careful is if we had pizza he would run straight for the box he loved pepperonis for some reason LOL😊😊

My first experience with reptiles was in 10th grade. My science class had a large green iguana. Yes it's cage was a little small, but we didn't know better in the 90s. For 3 years I took care of that animal. And the snake that came later. It was slightly defensive to most people, but I learned his body language and really began to bond with it. My parents wouldn't let me keep him so I have no idea what happened to him. I would love one in my home, but live in FL.

I remember as a kid seeing these for sale at so many pet shops even a few of those like horrible pet shops that you find in malls, my cousin actually got one when he was a kid from a friend. Short moral of the story is when they go through puberty they are absolute nightmares to deal with, my cousin is still to this day missing part of his pinky.

I've had them for over 30 years.. ended up getting a cages by design enclosure (7 feet tall) and it has worked out great

My rhino iguana, I got as a hatchling is a little over a year old now. He has never tried to bite or tail whip me. I suggest this species if you have the space and resources, because it genuinely seems to enjoy attention. It raises up to be petted when I come around, and is a very sweet animal.

Mine has a cage that takes up half a bedroom, has a bank of heat lamps and uvb tubes. In the summer and early autumn there’s and repurposed chicken run for outside time as well as growing veggies for him to eat. During the cooler weather he’s inside and I have to buy his veggies from the farmers market not to far from me.

Great overview! The cost of the greens isn’t what has me pumping the breaks on lizards, but also the increased prep labor that goes with their feeding and care. I won’t take on any animal I’m not certain I can care for.

I was real attached to my green. I found him outside a house where I was running a painting crew when he was about a foot long here in Philly of all places. Built a 4X4X4 cage with branches until he got bigger and just had run of the apt along with a Golden Retriever, 5 ferrets, and cat. He always went in one corner that was in the spare BR where he grew up, so a 2" deep 3X3ft metal pan and newspaper worked as a litter box . No BS, bro, LOL. He died after almost 8 years when he got into the dry cat food. Paralyzed his legs and killed him. Great vids you put up. Thanks. One of my great nephews is a breeder of the fancy constrictors.

I have 2 green iguanas, i intended to only have 1, but my brother and his gf essentially gave me their iguana 3 months after i got mine. So i have been working on bigger enclosures for mine now since theirs was bigger he got the bigger outdoor enclosure. So my girl needs a new cage made but gotta get to work on that soon.

I was gonna say, before you brought up his reactions to men vs women, that he looked SO much more comfy in your zookeeper's hands! 😆 I'm so glad he has a home where he'll be treated right and can be happy and healthy!♥

If I was to ever get one I would need to own a couple of greenhouses, 1 for fruits and veggies and 1 for its home. Ive been wanting 1 anyways but still think it would be amazing to essentially set up a room for an animal

Love the vids like always! My uncle had a green iguana for i think 9 years, his name was spike, and he was about 5 ft and around 14 lbs. Was always cool to see him, very mellow and chill, he had literally a whole bedroom in his house as his enclosure.

As a kid I ignorantly owned green iguanas & red eared sliders (THEE WORST PETS for any beginner let alone a 90s kid). No UVB, NO humidity, no strong basking spot, poor nutrition unfortunately. I blame my 10yr old self but most of the blame goes to the poorly regulated pet industry at the time. But now that I am aware of both. Id probably never own them again.

My wife and I have really been considering getting into iguanas lately. Probably Cubans, but are considering all species. We live in Texas and have the resources to design hide boxes for the winter period. But they will definitely live outside year round if we decide to go ahead with it.

Totally agree, I was a teenager in the 90's and we didn't know what we were taking on! Ended up having to build an enclosure that took up half my bedroom. I was sold a heat rock, and we didn't know about uvb at the time so he probably didn't live his best life. Loved that dude though!

Beautiful engagement ring, Trish!! You did well, Adam!

Shot out to Matt!! 🤘 He is an awesome editor. He also has a criminally underrated channel.. Miztik Animals

I used to have one when I was younger and have been planning on getting another soon. I’m building outdoor enclosures for my similis and for my future green iggy currently. I’m looking into getting one as a rescue since they turn up at the local ones rather frequently.

Great video as always. I remember my sister getting one back in the 90s

Great vid Adam, love from the bus!

Great video dude

we have a huge blue colored green iguana. Its probably 30 pounds now and close to six feet with his tail. We have had him since he was a baby. He is puppy dog tame and loves attention but during mating season he can be cranky. His enclosure had to be custom built and now he basically free roams in his own bedroom. You definitely need lots of patience and space for these guys.

Hey you think you can do a vid on the good/bad of chameleons? Would love a that ! Thanks Adam ❤

Hey adam, what's your thoughts on Banana Pectinatas? I've been considering getting one for the last couple years. I was waiting on Frank Payne to breed the ones he had, but unfortunately he decided to go different ways with that project.

I think about the food is alr i always have those foods but the temperature is kinda the problem but i do live in chatnooga its litterally always humanity exsoecially in the summer.

Is it possible to make a care guide for the Fidji banded iguana ? Cheers 😁

Ah! So happy to see Frankie!!🍀

I had one I let run loose and was potty trained. She’s just stay by her perch and heat source though. Would eat out my hand. Would bite and whip the shit out of you if you approached too fast or the wrong way.

I originally wanted a green iguana years ago until I met my friend's adult male. He was in this absolutely beautiful custom made enclosure. Not that it took up so much space, but he was really intimidating. I was like, nope.

That Fiji Banded Iguana is a beauty!

Just live in south Florida, a green Iguana or two will adopt you haha. My cousin who lives just outside of Miami always has a few wild ones hanging around in his yard.

these videos are the only thing that can make me excited for mondays

fiji banded iguana care video? i want it as my last reptile to round off my small collection haha.

I have a female Green Iguana,named Karen, and she lives up to her name. She can also be very sweet when she wants to be. She is 3 years old and already almost 5 feet. I turned a walk-in closet into to her enclosure, but I leave it open, so she also free roams my room when she wants.

There are a couple of area rescues with these, and I would love to have one, but I don't have the space.

They took over around here, were eating everything. Had to start cooking to reverse the disaster!

Frankie is a gorgeous Fuji Banded iguana, wish we could have them in the states. Adam do you remember when Brain got a big bite from his iguana Cheeto, it wrecked his tattoo and he had to get a lot of stitches, he said it was one of the worst bites he ever got. Thanks Adam Great mini class as always.🦎❤️👍

For the question at the end huge enclosure and big garden

Good evening Adam, Doug is a cutie pie, I've had a friend when I was a teen the had a green iguana, that thing would always whip anybody with its tail constantly lol, also seeing videos of iguanas scaring the crap out of people in the pool I find hilarious. But enough ranting I hope you and your fiance have a wonderful day and I will see you again on Thursday

My "what do I do now that my kids are grown" animal of choice is a Rhino Iguana. My husband and I already started on an outdoor enclosure (will house chickens for now), and I'll renovate our kids' upstairs game room for a winter enclosure! I'm a gardener, with a greenhouse, so they are my perfect pet!

I am speaking of the green Iguana and my experience. I've had a lot of iguanas and done so much research, I am still young, but I do have experience with these beautiful dinosaurs! They are my favorite lizard, but they aren't a good pet. Their size is overwhelming and how much they need to eat, and the size of their habitat, just wasn't for me especially when I graduated high school, I was just so excited to enjoy some free time, I gave him up for adoption. They are just too much to handle and can be overwhelming, especially the males. I had my iguana in a 6ft tall 8ft wide 4ft deep and took most of my bedroom and was uncomfortable. I will continue to stick with my leopard gecko and boa constrictor. I wanted a huge reptile collection and planned it out when I started working but I'm glad I never did because my love for reptiles isn't the same anymore, I will always be more into dogs, so I just have 2 reptiles. I prefer lower maintenance reptiles, and I am no longer getting anymore as pets. I appreciate them but I am going to stick with dogs. I've had and still have higher maintenance working line dog breeds but couldn't handle the iguana. My point is do your research be responsible and dedicated to taking care of an animal. I love Iguanas just wasn't for me, I appreciate them by observing them not having them as exotic pets anymore. I don't recommend them to anyone, some wild animals are better off being in the wild.

Had 3 as a kid. Started with 2 gotten as tiny little guys. One ended up male and one female. The female was more timid and never liked handling. The male was absolutely amazing. Docile and anyone could hold him. We used to take him outside all the time. He never spooked or showed threat displays. The third was a rescue and was so mean. He'd whip and bite and he was gotten towards the end of our time with iguanas. I'm sure my parents thought he might be like the male we had at the time. If they were all like our first male, they'd be amazing! We had the first two for many years and they had a custom cage that took up an entire wall in the house. They were massive and beautiful but I wouldn't get them again.

I had a few small ones when I was a kid. We had no idea what we were doing. I feel bad they died what was probably a horrible death. This was in the 90s we had no idea

green iguanas awesome pets if handled from day one and frequently. ive owned two one from 2008-2012 she pasted away from being egg-bound. the second one currently my is 5.5yrs old got her when she was 3-6 months old in jan 2019 and shes still going strong. both really tame from everyday handling, and supervised roaming around the house in the rooms that we are in at the moment. biggest factor is making the iguanas understand it shares the space in the house with everyone in there and other pets if have them. iguanas do herd themselves in large groups so they have the social ability to be see everything in the house as part oof its mess/colony when properly socialized. cat tress are also a good to have in your house for them so the have something to climb around on outside their inclosure especially if you have other pets and they want some space from your dog.

Love this video, i wish you would have gone more into Cuban Rock Iguanas and Rhino Iguanas. I agree green iguanas are the staple iguanas everyone goes for but they really want the rock or rhino personality. Id love to see another video like this about pros and cons of other iguanas and a countdown of which is a better choice. *cue sadness for us USA people who can’t have the #1 pick*

In middle school one of my teachers had two pet iguanas I always thought they were cool. But they aren’t for me. My cousin also had a pet iguana named Little Foot when she was a teenager.

Could you please do this exact video but for cane toads? ( Cane toads are like super duper invasive in warmer climates such as Australia & Florida )

I already have an iguana, she’s a female, nearly 3 years old, and 4’2” and still growing like a beast. She’s in a 6’x6’x3’ enclosure and has all the correct lights/uvb. She’s a sweet girl, but can get sassy sometimes. As far as puberty goes, they don’t go into puberty like a tegu does for instance, they go into breeding season. So behavior and color changes happen once a year from December to May. Females will either lay or reabsorb eggs and males will typically become butt faces. Both will typically stop eating during their selected month/s. Females because the eggs take up their whole cavity and males because well they only have one thing on their mind. Did you know that female human pheromones and female iguana pheromones are nearly identical and indistinguishable to the male iguana. She female owners to male iguanas have to watch for a few things.

Lol “Doug” love it. ❤

You didn't mention the crap witch is by far the worst part of keeping iguana's.

Surprised you didn't mention a Tegu as alternative. Clint has a VS video of green iguana VS Australian water dragon. Another good alternative? Although it needs a water area. But from what I've seen online these are great animals, even wild AWDs can act quite tame towards humans.

I had a green iguana 🦎 when I was a kid and he's was super relaxed but I wouldnt get one now... Mostly because I doubt it would have the same temperament of my old one..

i nearly had a baby green iguana as my first reptile, and while in hindsight im glad i ended up not being able to get the animal, i think i could have handled it fine. I had plenty of space, i did hours and hours of research, i was ready. I WILL have an iguana some day. I think getting it as a baby is the way to go. I realize they can "turn on you" at some point but i still feel like raising it from a baby and handling it daily would help in the long run.

Do a Fiji banded care guide please 😘

Your channel is very good at this topic here, I support you

I love Tabasco ❤, he is so full of personality 😅. One of Brian’s best reptiles.

They are my favourite reptile ever and I will have one one day but atm I’m not able to give it everything it needs. Maybe when my kids are older and moved out so I have more room

Hey just wondering if you’ve met Devine reptiles before? Small KZfaqr that stopped posting but he was my first reptile KZfaqr with you quickly after. Just wondering if people know abt him

Florida is actually close enough to their range that they could just be expanding naturally. They’re fully capable of making that swim especially if caught in a storm.

Love it ❤

You’re definitely not wrong! But because I have one of those very rare calm green iguanas I want to disagree, haha. I’m very fortunate that our male is very chill, well mannered and big sweetheart. And he’s a six foot, 22lb monster. That said, the cost to feed is nuts, his enclosure is massive and cost a ton to build, plus just the time to work with him is very time consuming. Great pet IF you have the proper means to care for them and a BIGGER IF you get a calm-mannered one. My last one lived to be 25 and he was also a great iguana so I’m lucky to have good experiences with them. Great video!

I have always loved and kept green iguanas since I was a kid. Very rewarding to earn their trust but on the other hand they are truly the "Cat" of the reptile kingdom which is why our green iguana Igneous has the nickname A.H. we love him and sometimes he loves us back but can also be a real jerk LoL

I have an in at my produce department! It's a must I have 4 bunnies

The Odyssey, like the Iliad, begins in the tenth year of the story's chief action, with events nearing their climax and final solution. We begin with a very rapid location of Odysseus in place, time, and stage in his career, but then (via the councils of the gods concerning his immediate fate) pass to Telemachos, with Athene's visit which sends him off on his journey. It is only after Telemachos has begun his visit in Sparta, and heard from Menelaos that his father is alive, and after the suitors have set their trap, that we return directly to Odysseus himself. We then follow Odysseus for the rest of the Odyssey. The poet now tells us of Odysseus' journey to Scheria and his sojourn there; and he makes Odysseus himself recount to the Phaiakians his previous wanderings (The Great Wanderings). They then convey him to Ithaka, and with his homecoming the tale of the wanderings of Odysseus joins on to the tale of Odysseus on Ithaka. Thus in two respects the narrative order of the poem disagrees with the chronological order of the story. The early and chief wanderings of Odysseus are told by throwback narrative toward the middle of the poem; and the wanderings of Telemachos come first. The joins or transitions from theme to theme are noteworthy. After the poet has located Odysseus in time and space, the gods consider the question. Athene urges the homecoming of Odysseus. Zeus proclaims that Athene shall have her way; Odysseus may now start for home. Athene answers (i.81-95) Son of Kronos, our father, O lordliest of the mighty, if in truth this is pleasing to the blessed immortals, that Odysseus of the many designs shall return home, then let us dispatch Hermes, the guide, the slayer of Argos, to the island of Ogygia, so that with all speed he may announce to the lovely-haired nymph our absolute purpose, the homecoming of enduring Odysseus, that he shall come back. But I shall make my way to Ithaka, so that I may stir up his son a little, and put some confidence in him to summon into assembly the flowing-haired Achaians, and make a statement to all the suitors, who now forever slaughter his crowding sheep and lumbering horn-curved cattle; and I will convey him into Sparta and to sandy Pylos to ask after his dear father's homecoming, if he can hear something, and so that among people he may win a good reputation. This excellently motivates the Telemachy but it does perforce leave Odysseus stranded, and after the major part of the Telemachy, at the opening of Book v, the return to Odysseus shows more strain than the departure from him did. Athene has been to Ithaka, and to Pylos with Telemachos. She left the court of Nestor, presumably for Olympos (iii.371). Now she has to start all over again, almost as if the case of Odysseus had never come up, to complain of his sorrows; but ends with the perils of Telemachos; and Zeus seems to have to remind her that she herself planned everything that has just been happening (v.23). Hermes, who has been waiting for this for four books and five days, can at last get off (i.84; v.28) and the wanderings of Odysseus may be resumed. The obviousness of the joins and the bulk of material not specifically related to Odysseus in Books iii-iv, his absence from Books i-ii, have suggested that the Telemachy was an independent poem which was, at some stage, incorporated more or less whole in the Odyssey. 2 This may be true, and there is no way to prove that it is not true. But it is also possible that the poet (or poets) 3 of the Odyssey, in the form in which we have it, deliberately developed this diversion, never meaning to take up Odysseus until he had first established Telemachos; that he so much desired to do this that he was willing to accept the necessary awkwardnesses of narrative joining in which it would involve him. Why so? Let us consider the effects gained for the total poem from having the Telemachy with its present contents in its present place. Odysseus in the Iliad was a great man, but his magnitude is increased by the

I love iguanas, but I won't ever get one because of the size they get to and the amount they eat. I won't be able to fit a large enough enclosure in my house.

I was gifted one as a kid in the 90s, by my uncle, against the wishes of my mom. The only reason I'd ever have one again is if I'm able to make a full career out of reptile education and have a dedicated facility with employees working for me. Maybe if someone needs to rehome a well established adult with the enclosure and everything but I think for now I'd rather stick to seeing green iguanas that belong to other people. I greatly prefer snakes because they take almost no effort compared to a lot of other pets, and they're super fun to handle and interact with.

I've always longed to visit blizzard florida and feast upon the free iguanas. But if I were to befriend one, I'd treat em like a cool tropical dog. I'd have someone to eat my indoor garden trimmings.

So my husband and I had to build our green iguanas enclosure and that's was a pain. But worth it. She is an absolute sweet heart but I have noticed that since she has gotten bigger everything I am cycling I cannot go near her. She will do a threat display and she has come at me before. But if I am not cycling she loves me. It's weird. But we love her and she is my husband's little baby girl. I wouldn't trade her for the world.

And when it comes to invertebrates, some of them suck even more like spiders. If someone offered me a scorpion and something to keep it in though, I'd probably say yes and get plenty of crickets for it to eat. I'd even step up to the challenge of keeping a highly venomous scorpion. The only kind of scorpion I wouldn't want is a tailless scorpion because they're not as easy to handle.

I had a spiney tailed iguana as a kid. There was no info around on this guy at the time, and when he hit puberty, he became completely unhandlable. Will never get an iguana ever again

Dug looks chill

Make a call king snake care guide

Rina is pretty chill, I had her for about 20 years. She was in bad shape as a hatchling and was the runt of the litter, with some toe deformities. She's a spicy sweetheart that loves walking around my apartment.

I have 2. A baby and a 3 footer. The baby is skittish and lightning fast. Like teleportation fast. My larger one is more mellow but still has an attitude sometimes. The worst part of green iguanas in my opinion is the claws. Expect to bleed every single time you hold one. At least until they get used to getting nails trimmed. Which takes time. Definitely not a good choice for kids. I live in Texas and keep them outside during the warm months. Imagine adopting a cat that doesn't really like you that much and you have to keep it warm and feed it veggies. That's what it's like having an iguana. Lol

Did something happen to his tail or did he just loose yo much muscle mass in it?

Last year I saw a pair of Fiji banded iguanas... Was intrested but the ~20k USD price tag was a bit insane... Here to hoping that someone starts breeding them here in SA

I went to an animal college. We had a green iguana there called Merlin. He didn’t like men but loved the girls. However he would become aggressive if you were on your period. So it sucked because it was embarrassing at 16/17 for the whole class to know every time your period came because you wouldn’t go near Merlin lol.
