Conan
is my 4 and 1/2 foot long, male green iguana. He is five years
old, and is my baby, without a doubt. He is extremely tame, knows his
name, and responds to certain commands, such as "eat your
food" and "give me a kiss." If a stranger should come
into my room (i.e a friend of mine he's never seen), he puffs up and
lashes his tail in an attempt to protect me, but would never bite anyone
he is familiar with. He is extremely patient with my two nephews who are
three and five, and he even tolerates the dog! He is in an extremely
large enclosure that he likes so much, he won't come out even if I leave
the door open for hours. He loves to look out the window and bask in the
sunshine. His favorite staple is string beans, and his favorite treat
are kiwis.
Everyone in my family has learned to love him as their own, and come in
to visit him often. Even my mother, who was deathly afraid of reptiles,
now sees that Conan is a gentle, intelligent, protective, loving
creature.
I found that too many iguanas are purchased by people who do not have
enough patience, and have not done enough research to properly care for
an iguana. For those who are willing to make the commitment, they make
wonderful pets!
