I have adopted many an iguana . I have never and will never sell one however I will not give one to somebody who is not ready ( meaning having a cage light heat diet and the # of a good vet ) I will also not give one to college kids ( they are not stable ) and I have taken in MANY iguanas from the college kids who leave and don't or can't take them home are wherever they are going. I always make sure that the person understands that owning an iguana is a LONG term commitment . I have turned many people away for these reasons . It would be a lot more easy on me to just give them to whomever came to the door and wanted one belive me when you have a room of 20 or 30 of them cages floor to ceiling and an extra fridge ( kept in the room for the extra heat ) for all the food that by the way does not chop itself up . I would rather work harder and longer to make sure the person I give them to will love them and care for them as I do my own . Many of the people I have given one to still tell me what's going on and I even have a few people that moved that write me to do the same . Most of the people that take in iguanas do so because they love them and want the best for them . I did not talk to your friend but I this might explain the reason why .

PS if he still wants one tell him to write me . I have three looking for homes now .
