Re: So You Want an Iguana? Maybe Not.
Used to have one, we gave it to a friend who's iguana died of old age, she was getting much too big for us and starting to need a whole room for herself, which he gave her. She whipped her tail at me one day because I scared her with the vacuum by mistake (didn't realize she was out). Had a welt that stood out about a half inch for days on my leg, and she wasn't even that big yet at the time. Hope your hand (if that's what it is) heals up nicely! Thanks for sharing.  |

Re: So You Want an Iguana? Maybe Not.
As much I love iguanas, this is a prime example for not having one. Same with dwarf caimans. Cool animals, but not for me. On the plus side, you'll have a nice scar soon. Hope you got the good pain meds!

Re: So You Want an Iguana? Maybe Not.
A big reason I dislike those animals. No love for the ones that care for and feed them

Re: So You Want an Iguana? Maybe Not.
Uh... I always wonder why the fuck they spread wounds open. I know that whenever I get deep cuts the last thing that I want is to spread the bitch open. I had two iguanas, Fred and Wilma (not that the names really matter) but Wilma got her eyes poked out by a mantis. I lost alot of respect for lizards that day and gained alot for the mantis |

Re: So You Want an Iguana? Maybe Not.
Yuck. We had an iguana for about a year around 1999. Smelly, horrid, mean things they can be. Not only can their tales whip like a Mistriss in a BDSM dungeon but their teeth are like Freakin' razor blades. DON'T EVER let an iguana near your kids!! Nastiest thing about them is their defence from predators (and frustrated owners trying to capture the disgusting creatures and get them back to their cage or room) ...their tale literally comes off if it is being tugged at and the iguana escapes.  |

Re: So You Want an Iguana? Maybe Not.
That looks scary. I remember having an Iguana as a kid... somehow we ended up losing him, or something to that effect. Seeing this picture, I'm glad he ran away!
