: I own a lot of snakes but want a more personable reptile so I buying a baby iguana. Right now he will have a reflector light, UV, grape wood, astroturf, and a water in food bowl in a 20 gallon long. I will be building a cage later on or i will buy a big one(he will also have the run of a room when he gets tame a bigger)...I know everything on nutrition so that's not a problem.......Here's my questions: How do i litter train him???? any tips on taming and how long it takes..THanks...My friend is an iguana expert and he will be of great help too

I would say a 20G long is too small even for a juvenille iguana, a 55G would be the smallest and that would probably only last a year, at the most.
He would be very cramped. I would do a lot more research before getting one and make sure you have all the necessary means to care for one.
I planned for months before getting mine(so glad my friend let me know he was giving him up).
Adoption would be a good idea, they are many out there that need a caring home. No need to buy one that just fuels the uncaring pet stores on getting more.
Good Luck and READ, READ, READ, here's one link to get you started.
