In Reply to: I think that buying an iglet from a petshop is a good option posted by Flavia Guimaraes on January 08, 2003 at 22:09:10:
I believe that everyone in some time or another has bought from a pet store, my first BD came from one. BUT I should have known that just like in the dog world it just encourages the pet stores to buy more and more, that is the problem with pet stores. If you have seen a puppy mill or donated your time at a animal shelter you would know what I mean. Same thing with reptiles. I have an iglet that I adopted (yes, plenty of iglets out there as well)and he is working out just fine, had some problems before I had him but was fixed up by the rescuer that I got him from. I have the room, I am planning on one more who is an adult, I am now fully confident that I can show her a nice home as well. Pet stores just lead to more iguanas or any animal for that matter to suffer, for one you buy there will be more to follow that suffer.
problems:too!The few days iglet will not have past traumas and dont hate humans yet.The new born iglet will have more chances to be healthy and will be more easy to tame.Knowing what I know know,if I didnt have any iguana i would by a new born one from a farm or from a good petshop.No rescues for me please!!Im too much attached to my pets to take the chances to rescue a sick or a crazy one!!I rescued Godzilla but he was caught from the wild and 100% healthy!!No past traumas or sickness!!But thats only my humble opinion.

::Hey don't get down on yourself. I think we've all done the same thing. I bought Sleestack too...although the pet store had proper lighting and food so it wasn't the worst kind of store. At the time I don't think anyone could talk me out of it because I had rescued before and my rescue had died (and I was heartbroken...convinced a healthy non-rescue was what I needed). I was just being emotional.
