: I recently had an idea about how to locally stop
ig abuse. Many times people just don't know enough
about igs to properly take care of them. Many
times moms allow there kids to just buy an iguana
without knowing how expensive they are to take
care of. (I am only 15 and a few years ago my mom
did this to me. I had no idea how to take care of
my new ig. Luckily, my friend helped me out a bit,
having already raised an iguana.)Unknowingly, they
torture the poor little thing. I hope to help
these people out. The uneducated ig people I talk
to usually say that their ig is mean.(I would be
too if you kept me in a 10 gallon tank)What I plan
to do is put up flyers around my itty-bitty town
saying, "Iguana Training". My fee for showing them
how to handle and train there iguanas would be to
buy proper food, lighting and cage equipment for
their iguana. I probably won't change this whole
world into an iguana happy environment, but its a
start. I'd also encourage you guys to help out
those millions of $9.95
: igunas sold every day. Talk to ya later...

Bravo for you!!!!!! Dan and I are always trying to help educate people on reptile care here in central Fla. We have had care sheets printed and giving them to ?pet stores?.Have heard some really stupid remarks on what to do with an ig whose go too big, from letting it loose to giving it back to the stores, like the store wants it back. People (parents) need to be educated !! Keep up the good work oh very wise young man.
