 Am I Ready For An Iguana?Becoming the owner of an iguana carries significant responsibility in providing a long and happy life for that ig. Before aquiring an iguana, it is a good idea to investigate the husbandry, environment, caging, diet, preventative health care, and other special requirements iguanas need. The following questions may be useful to consider. Financial: Do I choose to spend my money for the initial cost of the iguana, and its maintenance and supplies? 
 Yes | No Time: Am I willing to spend 
        sufficient time with this iguana (in addition to feeding and cleaning) 
        to provide for its well-being? Does my job schedule 
        and other activitied allow the time needed for taming, training, affection, 
        and socialization of this iguana? Am I willing to provide 
        the proper sanitation of its habitat for health care maintenance? Space: Am I aware of how 
        much space this animal will need for proper exercise, rest, and security, 
        and can I provide it? (An adult iguana will need a cage at least 6' tall, 
        5' long, and 3' deep) Do I have the environment 
        available to provide the proper light, heat, humidity, and ventilation? Special Consideration: Am I comfortable handling 
        and restraining a large reptile that may become aggressive seasonally? If there are young 
        children in the family, would you be able to protect the iguana and children 
        from each other? Do I have a qualified 
        reptile veterinarian nearby? Do I have someone 
        willing to care for my iguana should I need to be away for any reason? Do my state and local 
        laws permit the ownership of large reptiles, and if so are there any special 
        regulations? Am I prepares to own 
        by learning about all of this animal's requirements BEFORE 
        purchase? All things considered, 
        does this species fill my companion animal needs and can I fulfill this 
        pet's life needs adequately?
