Iguanas are fascinating. Highly trainable, beautiful, adaptable, ideal pets for the right people and in larger, conducive "green" planned home environments. They will eat just about anything, and some even enjoy being fed by hand. The green variety, also called "tree iguana," has very long toes, resembling tree branches, making them prolific climbers, versatile, fast runners. On raising them: best from the time they are hatched, before they have been allowed to have traumatizing experiences either in the wild or while with bad previous owners. And they're just like kids: treat them gently and with love and understanding, and believe me, they'll love you back in their own way. Even if it's as simple as "pee-ing" on your lap or shoulder. (Not surprisingly, I once had an iguana at home named "Laptop.") Under decent care, they can live to around 20 years, and make marked strides in growth; this means the need for owners to design a flexibly expandable environment, one that affords them to walk and climb around in natural-like surroundings, opportunities to bask in sun, bathe in pond or bath, ample shade cover, while making sure that screens or fences are designed that do not allow them to climb out and escape into probable surroundings of certain death that would confront them in urbanized society or in wild territories unfamiliar to them. (I am attaching here a few pics and captions that I have put together and shared with friends. Let me know if you have any true-life lizard experiences of your own. Would love to hear them.) I am on Facebook under John Renshaw in Los Angeles. Feel free to send me friend requests.
