As Melissa Kaplan states:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before you get an iguana...
Iguanas are still the #1 dumped reptile in the US and, increasingly, around the world. If, after reading about what it takes to care for an iguana properly, you realize that you can't provide all that is required, that's okay--so long as you don't get an iguana!. It may not be the right time in your life for the commitment a green iguana demands. There may be another reptile, or another kind of pet, that will be a better match for you. While keeping any animal as a pet requires a certain amount of learning and long term commitment, green and other types of iguanas demand more than most other species.

Read up at the link below before deciding.

I'd strongly recommend a leopard gecko. Simple housing. Simple feeding. Relatively cheap. You can find info on them at Melissa's website, too.
