Congrats Jim! You'll love the Spinys! I'd think twice about keeping them with your green iguana permanently tho. Spinys require some animal protein in their diet....also their husbandry requirements are different from the greens. They don't need the humidity so much. You may not be seeing any problems right now, but you will down the road....... Do you know what species of Spinytail you've got? I'd like to see some pictures. You might also want to visit the Cyclura/Ctenosaur forum. I was recently given 2 Spinys also from a pet store. Unfortunately one was far gone with MBD and didn't survive. The other is doing quite well. I have a 2 year old that's been with me since he was a little squirt. They are active and fun to watch. Best of luck!!
