Another great read My brother got an iguana for his birthday when we were kids. Oh man, we were not prepared for the size or strength of her as she grew, not to mention the aggression. I regularly had welts on my legs from her tail whips, only got bit once, you learn after the first time LOL. She ended up being mostly a free roaming iguana because she continually busted out of her cage. She loved sunbathing with the cat. She did not live a long healthy life though, despite constant vet visits, because of the limited information we were given. It was unfortunate. She ended up dying from kidney failure due to poor diet.
