A friend of mine is interested in buying a lizard.
He has seen our ig forum, and judging by how nice and resourceful people are here, he may be intersted in an iguana.
BUT, he doesn't know if the animal is right for him.
These are his interests, in no particular order:
1) iguana
2) Water D
3) Leo Gecko
4) Arg B/W Tegu
5) Tokay
6) Cyclura ssp.

What do you recommend?
Leos are the leat maintenance of all, but he likes large lizard (and has the space in his basement).
Tegus ar ecompletely omnivorous, and tolerate cool temps.
Tokays arelarge, but you may lose a digit.
WD are roughly same as igs, but you add bugs to diet.
Cycluras live "forever".... looong commitment!

Please enlighten me with the 'straightest' possible answer you can find, so i can tell him a good advice.

Thanx in advance,
Ig Joe
