: Do iguanas make ok pets? I'm not really a beginner; I have a leopard gecko, but it would be my first rather large lizard. Also, I'm kind of looking for a smaller type of iguana so could anyone help me? Thanks!

if you have the place and very much time for them, then yes;they make good pets. but keep in mind that they get very big and can be very agressive sometimes. and they can stike with their tails and man, that hurts.

I work in a reptile zoo and almost every week iguanas are dumped here(and now we must care for all these agressive/mistreatend iguanas) but I don't mind that:) Really is a shame how some were kept, and then these stupid excuses from the people who dump them, man.
They don't stay small forever.

�If you want something big maybe you can have a look at monitors? they are really beautiful and (some) aren't agressive at all.
or,get a beardie 1000 times better.
and don't buy wc desert iguanas(hard to keep them alive)

good luck.
