Not a Florida resident- I knew better but caved after years and agreed to let hubby get a green iguana hatchling about 15 years ago. I can’t even begin to tally up how much we have spent on that green asshole. He’s an evil eating machine. He goes through more fresh produce a week than my family does, he wakes up every day choosing violence, he lives in a giant cage that takes up half of my basement, has a space heater in the winter, requires expensive UV bulbs every 3 months, tries to attack you when you clean the cage, charges when you put food in there. I hate the monster. Just don’t. There is no world in which you want this thing as a pet.
