:troy iguanas are great if u do take one be prepared to raise my buddys little brother just gave up on his i went over there to handle it so it would get use to touch he fed it and so on he tried but he was to afraid and then it up and died (pet store igs seem to do that) good luck think hard very hard!!!

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
