Iguanas are just too cheap in the pet stores for anyone to breed them commercially, and most of us here hope no one breeds them recreationally because it just adds to the glut of baby igs, over 90% of which die. This means you have one really responsible choice, and that's adoption, as Samcin suggested. Also, "tameness" is a function of how much time you're willing to spend with the ig handling and working with it. Some igs never become really "tame", no matter how much you work with them, so you should be prepared for this. If you cannot, or won't, commit to the needs of iguana husbandry, you should consider another pet. If you're willing to learn and research, and take what comes your way, then you may save another ig baby in need. This forum is a great place to learn. Good luck, and best wishes.
