Yes less people will buy iggys~ that is the point~ less will buy and then less will be ordered from the supplier~~So demand will be down~ ~ Actually beardies are alot easier to keep and they are usually over 50 bucks~~ Most desert reptiles are not so hard to keep~ Its easy to make a desert habitiat~~ rainforest is quite a bit harder~~Plus they are harder to feed~ I would rather see all reptiles expensive~~ as its not cheap to keep them so if you can't afford a high price you obviously can't afford to take them to the vet and buy them everything they need. I doubt that pet stores would throw them out!~ Especially if they can make money~(none of the pet stores around here anyway) Actually the more i think about it if iguana's were much more expensive people would be more likely to adopt than to buy~~ But it wouldn't stop some poeple from paying to have them~~ Heck i just spent 200 dollars on an egyptian Uro~~ He was hand raised and is the sweetest lizard ever. The fact is about 98% of those baby igs you are talking about will go to bad homes and either end up dead or in need of adoption~~ If less are being bought that would be great~~ Its hard to say what would be best for the igs though~~ Tif
