Most of the cyclura available LEGALLY in the pet trade
get pretty large. I am not talking about ones that have been
stunted due to bad care though, of course these will
never get to be as big as they should.

A Blue Cayman or brown cayman female however will only get to
be max size SVL 16",4-8 lbs. Be Careful though, these species are not
supposed to be bought/sold/traded over state lines.
The other problem is you will have to buy from a breeder
that can *accurately* sex the animals, the only one I know
who really knows what he is doing when it comes to this is
David Blair. The males get to be 20 lbs so there is a big difference,
you want to make sure you get a female. Another choice is the
desert iguana, they do not get very big at all.

Please see the website for my female blue cayman, keep in mind
not all adult blue caymans look like this (are this bright in color):
