this doesn't SEEM like work....

Hi all!
I was just reading your posts below about how some of you would have chosen other lizards as pets if you had known how much work iguanas were. I was just wondering what you all meant by this - I've had my ig for almost four months now and she doesn't seem to be that much work at all. All her temps and lights are regulated by timers and all I really have to do is feed her every day and collect her little "droppings" and throw them away. The only problem I have with her is that she's a little bit squirmy when I hold her. Obviously you all have more experience than I do, so if you could enlighten me as to what I'm missing I'd appreciate it. I've been looking into tegus and others and they seem to need similar care to igs. Thanks!
