:troy i live in central ill alton area if u do choose a pet store 2 recomondations jamestown mall theyre igs are best kept ive seen around here DO NOT!!!! buy from alton square!! they should be shut down i dont know if ur in this area but those are my suggestions there is also a pet store in the small town of bethalto fin and feather owned by a vet when they carry iguana's they have excellent ig's most people here hate pet stores WITH GOOD REASON!! good luck visit www.iguanaden.com for a good resource

Hello,

: Could I get some advise from whoever wants to give it?
:
: My son (10 years old) would like to get an iguana.
: We are at the "research" stage. And we won't buy one until we are satisfied that he is able to care for it. (With my help of course.)

: Were looking at starting with a juvie. Something about 12" long.
: We are aware of the size it will become and we do have the space to offer it as needed.

: What would be the best enclosure to start with?
: Aqarium or cage? Heat lamp, light, or undertank? Or both? Male, female, does it matter?

: Any advise will be wonderful. Is a petstore an ok source or should we look somewhere else? We live in central Illinois so our choices are limited.
: Thanks in advance!
: Troy
