The Green Iguana or Common Iguana (Iguana iguana) is a large, arboreal herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana native to Central and South America. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area, from southern Brazil and Paraguay to as far north as Mexico and the Caribbean Islands; and in the United States as feral populations in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 metres (6.6 ft) with bodyweights upward of 20 pounds (9.1 kg).
Commonly found in captivity as a pet due to its calm disposition and bright colors, it can be demanding to care for properly. Space requirements and the need for special lighting and heat can prove challenging to an amateur hobbyist.

OdpowiedzUsuńlooks cute. I want such a thing. I had some smaller "raptiles" which were very funny because they climbed on me with their tiny fingers and bit my finger :-)
OdpowiedzUsuńwoow, these can grow a bit large. They also must be of a higher maintenance than lets say a dog or a cat.
OdpowiedzUsuńFraking things are everywhere when I go to Florida. And their tails fall off.
OdpowiedzUsuńLovely. It's too bad that it's against the law to keep such animals as pets here.
