: Floyd looks pretty good~ His toes are a little messed up as he is kept in an aqurium~ As far as him being socialized the teen must have spent lots of time handeling him~ Which is really good~As for your view on teens i would have to agree. I have met a few however that are truly remarkable kids and I am sure will grow up to be great adults! It takes good parents who teach them about how to be responsible~ There are alot of parents who don't instill this into there children~ For instance buying an iguana for them without doing research and considering animals to be something you can throw away~ I grew up on a small farm and we had lots of pets growing up. My mom didn't just let me have every animal i wanted on a whim~ I remember having to do alot of reading and research before i was aloud a pet~ and then i was completly responsible for it. She would never have aloud me to have something i was not capable of handeling and/or something that might grow up into a potentially dangerous animal~ Trust me it took ALOT of reading and pleading to get her to buy me a horse!LOL~ Mostly she was afraid of them! Anyway i better get back to work and quit rambeling~~

: a bad rap .... I think I should probably keep my mouth shut but I am tired and common sense is fleeting. It's not just teens who are irresponcible -it is humans in general. The fact of the matter is though, most iguanas were bought as pets for children who turn into teens and forgo their iggy in favor of boys, girls, sports, extra curricular activities, etc. It's not just iggys either, I have seen my share of dogs and cats get the same brush off. My mother used to have a sign on our fridge that said "Attention all teenagers -It is my advice that you get out into the world now when you know it all instead of waiting till you become older and apparently loose the ability to know anything" I never understood what that meant until I became a little older. I'm not saying that all teenagers behave the same way, unfortunately I have seen my fair share of teens who do behave poorly and act even worse as adults. Just my 2 cents
