I had a African ciclid (fish) live in a 20 galon tank for about 9 years.
When the fish died I told my mother I was thinking of getting a small salimander to go into it, and set it up with a little rock cliff. Of course
I wanted something that doesn't eat meat. Well, ever since I got married
and moved out, my mother has been going over board with the presents. She took my idea and ran with it. Straight to a pet shop. I guess I was thinking of it anyway, because where else could I find weird little salamander lizards? Or beautiful aquarium fish? But I don't go anymore. I went last time in time to see a snake getting fed and it scared me against ever going back.
Anyway. My mother calls me up and tells me she found the perfect lizard for me. It is pretty and green, only eats veggetables, and the people told her that it could live in that 20 gallon tank forever.
I said thank you and took the baby iguana in, and emidiatly bought him a 6 foot reptile cage, and three large heat lights. When I read up on these lizards I discovered he will get possibly 10 feet long, and be possibly a very dangerous animal if I don't end up taming him. And he can only be tamed once he is big and mean enough to attack, so this is going to be tricky. He likes the pigs. He climbs up and watches them eat. When he has escaped in the past I have found him laying above the cage looking down at them.
