thats a picture of it. So tell me anything and everything thankss
Thats a Green Iguana. Because of their extreamly low price sadly many novice reptile owners are impulse buying Iguanas. They can easly grow up to 6'. When I was 14 my "mom" got a 4' Iguana on an impulse buy, needless to say it received less than adiquite care, she kept it in a 6' bird cage no heat no humidity control only feeding it ice burge (I didn't live with her). I took it over at 6' and because of poor conditions and no handling the first time I held it it took a large chunk out of my pinkie finger I received 4 stiches. I had to build a 15' encloser for it.
These guys require a very very very large encloser, high humidity, a wide veriety of fruits and vegies with vitamins sprinkled on them, and tons of handling to "tame" them. Please tell your friend to think twice before commiting to such a demaning animal, or at least tell him/her to do plenty of research on (any) animal they might want, esp one that is for experienced owners only.
