It looks like we're getting a green iguana after all. I was originally hesitant because I didn't know what the apartment complex managers would say, but they have OKed it. We're getting him from some people who are moving and can't take him with them, and I know how hard it is to get rid of iguanas. Besides, I really, really love them. And yes, I _do_ know that they grow to be huge. :)

He is currently about 2 years old and 2 feet long. We will have to keep him in our bedroom most of the time. At least until we get another apartment, because we currently have a roommate. I'm just wondering what kind of provisions we should make for him. We have a big walk-in closet that he can use as his main hideout, but I guess we'll mostly let him free roam. I have looked at all kinds of care sheets and information, but I'd like some friendly hints to make our new family member feel at home here!

We do get a 50 gallon (or so) tank with him, but I guess he has pretty much outgrown that?
