Cool man! I have always wanted one as a pet. How hard are they to care for?

Shoot! You can have all the one that visit our back yard! Heck, might not be a bad idea for me to start making boots, belts, ... :D

so far its been easy to care for him, but I got him about 4:00 yesterday ;) He's pretty cool though. They are a lot cheaper than I thought they were!!

I want a hat! Lol, see if you can mail me a couple. Preferably the ones that are totally illegal here because they will overrun the ecosystem.....:rolleyes:

That's exactly what happened down here. You know how it goes: Kid buys a pet at the pet store; pet grows; owner can't handle pet anymore; owner lets the pet loose into the "wild".
The local brass wants to have an open season for iguanas ‘cause of the overpopulation. They are actually having problems at the airport with iguanas running on the tarmac and runways.

you guys ever eat them? i lived in ecuador for two years and they're everywhere there. they taste like chicken, no joke, try it some time...

I did try it...
…On the border of Tijuana, eating BBQ iguana...

No, seriously though, I did try some form of winged creature while in Thailand. I think it was bat sis kebabs, or something. I was pretty tanked on Singhas with formaldehyde...

I would be down to try out some BBQ Iguana. Prettymuch anything tastes good grilled. I want to tour South America anyway, get some exploring in the Andes and rainforesty areas for a few months. I just hear so many awful stories about various drug cartels and govt. commando groups.....not takign kindly to white folk.

2 years in ecuador, and everybody was cool to me there. my friends say that venezuelans, Argentines and columbians don't care much for americans, but youd be fine in ecuador, peru, brazil, chile, bolivia(although i don't think youd really want to go there), uraguay, paraguay, and pretty much anywhere in central america... if you ever have a chance to go south, do it! it's awsome...
