Not green iguanas. There are other types that stay relatively small, compared to their giant relatives. Desert iguanas stay fairly small, from 12" to 16"; so do chuckwallas, but much heavier. They both require very hot temperatures and a large dry enclosure, aswell as a varied vegtable, diet. There are also a few species of dwarf spiny tailed iguana available. They also stay around 15 inches long, and eat both greens and insects(mostly greens). One of my favorites is oplurus cuvieri, madagascan spiny tailed iguana, also between 12 to 16 inches, and care is similar to ctenosaurs. What ever species you choose, make sure that you do your homework on them, and that you are able to provide them with what they need. Each species is different, and requires special care.

Good luck
Albert
