Hi all!
I have read about how some people think that young people owning iguana's is irresponasble and can be tradgic. I understand that some young people don't know how to propully care for iguanas, and the poor igs suffer. But to say that all young people are ill-informed and irresponsable for their igs is somewhat of a stero type.
I am a young owner, and I can tell you that i researched for years before taking on the task of raising Dugan. Dugan is very happy and healthy, not at all the picture of poor health and neglect.
So I just wanted to point it out that it's not the age of the owner, but rather a case of the animals wellbeing. saying that all young owners are bad ones, is like saying that all older owners are good ones.
