We have a female Iguana, Esme, who is also a rescue. She is a cuddle bug too! It amazes me at how cat-like she is. Es just loves to be pet and rubbed anywhere.

I was ify about her when we got her because I know how some iguana's temperments can be, but I couldn't be happier with her. She's an absolute sweetheart. Last time we measured her I think she was right at 4ft...
