: Heelo there Joan!
: Iz's Mom over here gave you some very good resources on places you can look for to find info on iguanas. However, keep the following in mind:
: --Iguanas are expensive
: --Grow BIG
: --Give nasty bites
: --Are high-maitenence lizards
: --Accident prone
: --Prone to many kinds of diseases\disorders which can usually be cured if caught early
: I also suggest you order your iguana from a breeder via overnight delivery. These places will NOT give you a sick or unhealthy iguana and usually have some sort of guarentee that comes with the iglet.
: I'm 15 years old and so far my little iguana has been the perfect pet for me! Good luck!

:
: May the Iguana be with you!

: >^..^<

Do you have any information on breeders. We have gone to every pet store in our area and have only two that we would deal with. One even gives a free vet visit with purchase. I found that the only reptile vets in Idaho are 120 miles away. There is one vet close by that consults with those vets and is becoming very knowledgeable.

It will still be a couple of weeks before we obtain the new addition to the family and would like to check out all options. If you do have any information on breeders in the Northwest I would love to check it out.

Thanks for the help, Joan
