But if you charge 200 for iguanas,what is going to happen to all the iggys in pet stores right now? Where will they go. Those aquariums with 10iggys in them will keep those iggys in them. No one but true iguana lovers will buy them, but that will still leave half of those iguanas in there. If you do that to iguanas people will just buy a different herp cheap on impulse. I know this is an iguana forum, but other herps are abused too. They will just buy a leo, or bearded, and throw them in a shoe box. The iguanas left in the pet stores will just be thrown out, or like they've done around here before, given out as a prize or things like that.The best way in my opinion to get the pet stores to work is bug the he11 out of them. Complain to all the herp societies, the managers, anyone that can help in your fight. This has worked for a pet store in my area and I am currently working on another. Sure, the people there hate me, but I signed up to volunteer to teach them. They probably won't say no if you volunteer.
