    I had a rescue iguana for about a year. I could try to help you out with specific questions. (PM 'em to me. XD)<br><br><br>- They need light (real sunlight). I rescued mine from owners who tied him in a bathtub full of water for over 6 months. His scales changed color, he was sick, etc.<br>- They need a large enclosure. Recommended to be at least 5 ft tall, 4-5 ft long, and 3 feet wide.<br>- Cage needs to be sturdy. They WILL get out if they have the chance.<br>- Needs to be well ventilated and cleaned often (daily, sometimes 2 or 3x a day)<br>- Put large branches for them to climb on in their cage<br>- They go to the bathroom in water. You can get a Rubbermaid storage container (the big ones) and put water in it. <br>- They stink. <br>- Don't let them "play" with dogs, cats, etc. They could easily severely injure anything they wanted<br>- Handle very often or they can become aggressive/anti-social<br>- Give them exercise, they will walk on a leash if trained. Never let them loose, or they can/will run off.<br>- They can climb trees. Beware of letting them near one.<br>- They should be fed 2x a day. Veggies like lettuce and spinach. They generally LOVE bananas.<br>- They need a heat lamp. NO heat rocks.<br><br><br>I can't remember what else.. XD It's been almost like 3 or 4 years since I had him.<br><br><br>You might be able to get your parents to agree if you have enough space to own one. Maybe just make a powerpoint or some form of presentation and show them how much you've learned about them and how you'd like to try one out.

    Well, it wasn't pretty. One of the people decided she was gonna rip though the car's metal and attack him. So he ran her tail over, and most of it broke off.
    Bye.
