If you ever wanted a 6 foot long dinosaur than this is the pet for you,  they can get huge, live a very long time and can become aggressive when they are adults. For experienced Herps only. If you know what you are doing than they can be pretty cool.

I had an iguana that I rescued from a school display (they didn't know that the cute little lizard would someday outgrow his 10 gallon aquarium!). He got to be about three feet long and would climb out of his cage so regularly, that eventually we just let him out in the morning and put him back at night. Unfortunately, one day he discovered a small opening in the corner of our pool cage screen and he made a break for it. We never did find him, but, since we life in southwest Florida where temps are warm, chances are good that he's in the trees somewhere.

For experienced reptile owners only! This is not a pet for kids. If you are in love with the look of an Iquana, buy a water dragon. They are just a gorgouse, but have a much better temperment and do not even reach half the size of an iguana. But, for those of you that know what your getting into, an iguana can/will make a great pet...just do the research first!
