MASSIVE Lost opportunity! :(

So today my girl friend tells me she seen two adult albino iguanas near the road. When she told me this I started looking them up and they seem to be expensive around 3000-3500 dollars. They lay around 50 eggs... I could be wrong but I think if she caught them and started breeding we could have been millionaires in ten years. Any thoughts?

Is it even legal to grab WC and breed them?

Is it normal for iguanas to be roaming around Canada???

I'm thinking snatching two wild lizards to breed and make a supposed fortune from is NOT the smartest idea.

By the time you figure in the actual "cost" of housing, food, vet care, breeding, incubating, raising young and then hopefully selling, you aren't going to be as rich as you thought.

That seems a bit far fetched... And how would you know if they were a sexed pair it could of been two males, then you would have to breed to normal produce hets, raise them up and breed back to the parent or each other. It's expensive to keep up one ig much less multiple

Just to clairfy, my girl friend is carribean. I could literally build a chicken coup for them.

and yes, we dont knwo the sex. But your right in saying if they were the same sex that you could go about getting a breeding pair eventually.

You are assuming they were 1:1

I like turtles.

Sounds like a snipe hunt to me. You hold the bag.
