I'm always skeptical when people say they have an iguana, because they ARE so very hard to take care of at times. Yours look so happy and healthy!! I wish all ig owners provided for their pets as well as you do! They're obviously two very spoiled boys!!
Thanks, we do our best to take care of them right and yes they are spoiled.

You are right though they are hard to care for at times. This is why I hate it so much when people buy them at the pets stores not knowing fully what they are getting into. People buy them when they are small cute little things....not thinking that they can get as big as Vern and even bigger and one day you might have to give up a room just to house them.

I have to laugh sometimes when I see people getting them a little fish tank, small heat rock (BTW never use a heat rock) small water bowl etc. You know thats a waste of $ and time...it wont be long till they out grow that.

We have a man in our area that rescue them because so many owners give them up when they get to big for them. Right now he has 98! His place is a site to see....cages everywhere. It has become such a full time job for him that he left his job at the post office.

Anyway, I gald to see so many here are interested in my two guys and if any one is thinking about getting one feel free to ask many any questions you might have. You should always know what your getting yourself into before hand.
