Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on the Iguana forum...I need your help! Y'see, my friend wants to buy an Ig for her boyfriend as a Christmas gift, he's had two before but neither lived very long. I also know that neither of them have even a general knowledge of reptile keeping. I keep leopard geckos and was trying to explain to them all the things required are expensive and you have to be prepared for vet visits, a large habitat, and everything else to have a healthy Ig. I was explaining to my friend that Iguanas get large and all she said was "Well yeah, if it lives that long." I didn't get angry with her, but that's when I realized I need to convince her an Ig is not the greatest idea. Last week I went to a herp show in New Hampshire and a table had a bunch of pictures of iguana inflicted injuries, I thought these would be a good thing to show to my friend. Does anybody have any pictures like this? Or anything I should tell her before she gets the iguana? I'm going to everything I can to convince her not to get it... sorry for the lengthy post, just wanted to explain! Thanks in advance for any reply!
