If you really want an iggy, try googling Iguana Rescue and your area (state most likely). There you can get into contact with rescuers, who can give you a lot of accurate information, and let you know about any iggy's that are in need of a home.

Also buy a few good books on iguanas. Don't settle for one! Many books have misinformation in them, or are very outdated. Try finding one published within the last 2 years. Study it well :)

Also find some online reptile forums, and start asking questions. Don't be dismayed at some of the replies (some people are jacka$$es).

Once you feel comfortable that you will be able to handle an iguana for it's entire life, then start actively seeking one out. I do highly recommend rescuing one, as they are the ones people dump once they realize that they get abuot 6 or so feet, and aren't able to be kept in a small tank.

Best of luck!

TDK Probably because like most other people you aren't looking after them properly. Iguanas don't make good pets! I have to invest a lot of time, care and money to keep mine in good health and they're fine. Check out this website for about the only good advice you'll ever get on iguanas:

Melissa Kaplan also wrote a book called Iguanas for Dummies, which is brilliant and very funny. If you're dead set on getting more than get it too.
