I never said that you were not capable of raising them. Please, don't make assumptions or put words in my mouth. Have you ever owned iguanas before? Do you have any other experience with reptiles or big lizards? Don't mistake my concern for the well being of the iguanas as an insult to your competence in the caring of these animals. You have a very long and difficult road ahead with raising three iguanas. Do you have the facilities and resources to care for the iguanas? Personally, I don't want to see three more iguanas being neglected whether it was intentional or not.

I've sugar-coated stuff for a few years now, and it gets tiring. The only way to get a point accross to people is to be blunt and to the point. Here's what I am saying... There are THOUSANDS of innocent animals out there who have been abused and neglected for reasons that are never legitimate. I don't want to see any more being neglected. I want to know if you are ready to take on the immense responsibility of caring for 3 very large lizards. Iguanas are not for beginners, and that's a fact. So tell me, how old are you? Do you have a job? Do you have enough income to pay for the feeding, electricity, and vet bills? What about emergency visits? What if your iguana eats something and you need exploratory surgery to remove the foreign object that is painfully impacted in its GI tract? Are you prepared for all of this? Ask yourself that.

:I never thought of it that way and as I said another is on the way. But I guess I screwed up I mean I wanted to watch them grow and why do I beleive that you think I am not capable of raising them?
