Hello, For a iglet, I would recommend a 50 gallon aquarium. This aquarium will only be good enough to house the iguana for awhile. The iguana should then be housed in a large enclosure. Keeping iguanas is a great and expensive responsibility. It does have its rewards. When training the iguana, I would not flick it in the eye or rip of the tail. This is only abusive to the iguana, and it will NEVER trust you. When an iguana loses a tail, it can hurt them, and sometimes it doesnt grow back. In my opinion, if someone cant handle an ig bite or whip of the tail, maybe its not the right pet for them. If you read further down the forum, there are some great links on "First time ig owner care". I would recommend reading them. There is alot to know.
