Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

finally,
i've gotten my parents to say yes to getting an iguana, i'd be able to house it properly with the huge tank, misting machine, and everything.
the only thing that concerns me is the whole taming process. when they bite, does it hurt THAT badly? speaking as a skateboarder / bmxer who gets hurt almost everyday, this wouldn't really affect me, but if it really hurts, i don't know what i'd do.

Well it does hurt a lot, an adult male during breeding season has the potential to take a finger. This can easily be solved by getting a female and handling her everyday. This is not to say that all males are agressive, you could easily get one that is calm and not aggressive. The key is the socializing with the ig, more handling= less agression.

The NYC ban only includes the 5 boroughs. Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Statin Island and Manhattan.
Look at what NYC considers dangerous and has banned!!!!

there's a book called "the life of your green iguana" or something to that effect. I can't remember the authors name either, (it was written by a woman though) but anyhow, buy a good book on iguanas and it will tell you about body language and lots of other things. This may help you quite a bit. Also, iguanas tend to pick favorites, so as somebody else mentioned, the more you handle it, the tamer it will be. good luck! iguanas are really rewarding pets if you take care of them right.
