Get a bearded dragon, They have better attitudes, and wont rip holes through you.There all captive bred, And still get 2 feet long.
Sorry Iguana lovers if i sound harsh, but its true.

Hey,
I thought that I would stick up for him or her...all this stuff about them being mean and that, do you even own one? I do. All Iguanas are Wild Caught!! I think that BS, most of them are but some of them are not... Your not irresponsible if you let them free roam, as long as you have the proper temps in areas and basking spots and all that stuff you will be fine. Im only 14 and I get my dads help with my Iguana If the person you are talking about has someone like that that can help and show you the way go for it..."They dont like Humans" Sounds like you didnt do YOUR research on them, you WILL have to "tame" them to get them to tolerant you.
P.S I think its people like you who discorage other from getting into the hobby.......
