Well I was talking about a Iguananarium I had built.
Here are some photos.
Only pictures of 1 of my Iguana came out.
The other was in the shadows and the pictures were too dark.

I'll try and get some better photos :?

Sweet setup CC. Glad to see he's being properly taken care of. Every time I go to the pet store I see these iguanas in the cages and know that people buy them all the time not having the first clue as to what it takes to take care of such a creature. Its really sad. What's the big fella's name? A friend of mine has a full grown iguana named Yoda. :lol:
 
His name is "Thomass" I kicked the ass off him and call him Thom.
It's in honor of a friend.

The cage is 8/4 & 8 feet tall, or close to that.

I had another set of Iguana's years ago, that had a pond and water fall in their Iguanarium.
I didn't want to do it here, as the floors are all hardwood.
Those iguana went to a reptile education center.
This guy saw them & freaked!
They were big and friendly, he did kids shows -
well long story I missed them and got these!
 
Cool CC!
I have always found iguanas to be an interesting pet. The wife says NO!..She wants a dog...Now, a bird dog...maybe.

damn..spelling edit :D
 
You just can't go wrong with a bird dog for a family pet. If you want versatility, go with a Lab. Yes, I am a huge lab fan. Although, if you want a pointing dog, you can't beat a GSP. (german shorthair pointer).
 
Nice set up. A lot of space is always good for a pet like an iguana.

I have to second the Lab. I have one who is just great with kids. He is even gentle with my new born son. Just walks up to him slowly, eyes him over; then licks his face and walks away. He can be very energetic though. He has been known to run in the yard for hours at a time. He also thinks that he is a lap dog; jumping up on my love seat with both me and my wife in it. Good dogs though. Great temperment.
 
:roll: I should have guessed a phisherman was refering to an actual Iguana! I hit your msg thinkin you were refering to Thompson Cigar Companys "Iguana" cigar! I just got a box of candela 'Papa's, an they are smooth & slightly sweet. Got a free cap in the deal, too! Box of 20 was $45 + s/h = $52.50. Just smoked a Camacho candela I picked up at my local cigar shop, and it was super smooth. Real Iguanas are kool, too. And, if you're into old flix, "Night Of The Iguana" with Richard Burton & Liz Taylor is worth renting.
Trivia: Just before the Cuban Embargo in '59, Prez Kennedy obtained large amounts of Cuban candelas. I have yet to experience the 'Cuban Cigar', but I'm going to Hawaii in February, so, who knows?
 
Beautiful setup. I need to get someone to build me something like that for my Burmese python one day.
