Trust me you don't want an iguana, they get big and nasty.

nasty? really? i knew that they can grow really big, but i didn't know that they could become mean. all of the ones i've ever met have been friendly and pretty tame. thanks for the tip.

Normally they are nasty. They CAN be trained. But it takes alot of dedication. Let me put it like this. Owning a green iguana is exactly like owning a mackaw(if I spelt that right). Not saying in they have same care. But I mean difficulty. both are like children. Lets just say you dont want to take the chance of being bit by a 2-3 foot long iguana or being snapped at by its THICK tail.

Iguanas have a nasty bite and can be quite aggressive, especially the males. Captive breed tokays have a tendency to be very tame and handable, unlike their wild-caught brethren. Kevin McCurley (N.E.R.D./Zoo Creatures) breeds high end tokays. I especially love his "powder blue" ones. I also love Phelsuma madagascariensis, P. cepediana, and Lygodactylus williamsi.

Bearded Dragons are amazing pets. I have two, and they have tons of personality for a lizard. I took my bearded dragons to the school where I work and they were wonderful with the kids. The only thing about these guys is they need a large enclosure, and proper lighting which should be replaced every 6 months. If you want a pet that you can handle Bearded Dragons are your best bet.

Also regarding your toad...did you use any sort of chemical on/around or in the container?
