Youuuuuuuuuuu looooooooove Gizmo....lol (yea I was singing that)

Ok what everyone stated is true...they are very difficult and not a starter reptile. Their bites are super super painful and get ready for scratches all over your arms...seriously you will look like a crack addict....lol

Ok with all that being said....look to see if their are any breeders. Do some research on different stores and see what looks best. ??? Other than that not sure where to get them. You can go on green iguana society website and there is tons of info and ppl that have been keeping them forever. They have so much knowledge!!

As far as their cage....once grown they will need a cage around 6ft by 5ft, and they eat a TON! lol All greens and veggies though but you will be surprised how quickly they go especially with a full grown iggy. With iggys its kind of a crap shoot....hence if you get a rescue adult...its easier in my opinion. Babies take a long long time to train and take a long time to become tame ...but some just never do. They will hold everything bad against you as it was clearly your fault..and their memories are forever.lol Babies are fairly vicious most times....as they are scared to death you are going to eat them. It takes at least a couple of hours a day for 6 to12 months to get a baby to tame up in most cases.

With adults the males after about 3 years will go into mating season and some of the most calm and loving igs will go after their female owners hence you have to be very careful. Many of them come out of this after the season but I know a few owners whose hubbys have to handle the igs during this time. With the females they are not as agressive but even though they have not mated will lay eggs and you have to make sure that they do not get egg bound.

Now....lol...with all this being said it can be very rewarding especially when you are dealing with someone like Gizmo. He is super fun and has a great personality. But I have my little iggy baby that is not quite a year old. He was abused and is just a physco. I work with him usually about 3 hours a day and it is slow slow slow going. lol I am hoping when he gets a bit bigger all will calm down.

hmmm...I think I have covered a lot. Check out green iguana society....there is soooooo soooo much great info and join and talk to ppl there. You can find me under Michelle Bell. Hope that helps.
