Hi

First thanks for the ones that answered "the closet as a cage" post. Wife said "No", bummer. So she will have to help in building a cage for them.;-)
Some of you are making me aware of not keeping 2 iguanas together.Well i have a lonely Bearded dragon and i figured my next species wouldn't be alone, so i got two iguanas.
Worse is that i asked the girl at the petstore. I even asked if they could be sexed that small as i wanted to avoid 2 males. She said they would be fine since they were related.
I guess since they are related, if they breed i might get some very weird looking baby lizards (Inbreds)!
Anyway what shall i do at this point?

1)Return a baby to the petstore.
2)Try to trade one for another lizard online.
3)Take a chance to raise them together and if trouble starts just have to build a second cage.
4)Anybody got an iguana recipe? Kidding! Kidding!

All right got to go there is a reptile program on the national geographic channel.

Thanks again

Patrick
