: Have any of you ever eaten Iguana? About a week
ago I walked into a nearby (S. Cali) hardware
store to buy some vinyl hardware cloth, I
explained to the saleswoman that I needed to
change these screened "windows" on my iguanas
enclosure to something less abrasive/and wider
diameter (Feo's ripped out 7 of his nail casings
by "hanging ten" from these windows!)
anyway...when I mentioned Iguana the saleslady
perked up and wanted to know how big he was ..I
told her 5ft stl ..how much did he weigh..I told
her 9 1/2 pounds...she asked me if I was raising
him to eat? I was taken aback...she told me in
Central America(where she was from) ..iguanas are
frequently caught for human consumption. I told
that was very interesting and ran like a bat out
of h*** out of the store and I hadn't been back
since. I haven't forgotten about what she
said..and Ive always tried to eat a "variety of
foods" myself...lmao.. Im just curious if anyone
out there has tried it.
: P.S. Juana & Feo are safe!
: Gina

My best friends b/f was from Panama and he was always teasing meabout how big was Cirsis getting and how much did she weigh,he would say ummm good eating.I told him I didn't appreciate the comment but he wouldn't let up sooo I told him to go eat his fat dog and get*&%$#*!.Thank god she got rid of him!
