While I agree that some pet stores should not sell ANY reptiles, why the shock value untruths:

"lengths of eight feet are not at all rare"
"Iguanas also need to be handled a few hours a day or they will become mean"
"Iguanas seem to like inflicting pain"

It also reads as an iguana has the ability to spread salmonella when it desires.

Is this on purpose? I agree with the intent, but IMHO, the sensationalism does not help credibility.

Just my 2 pennies.
