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.

Iguana Question
SO i'm considering getting an iguana, however, the fact that I see a lot of information saying they get aggressive during breeding season is slightly off putting to me. I have experience with savannah monitors and medically significant spiders and centipedes, however I read on an iguana website that they can be "extremely dangerous" is that true? I don't think of iguanas as being "extremely" dangerous but I don't have any personal experience with them.

Extremely dangerous, is an overly exaggerated quote to me, it also may mean something different to you then it does to me. I'm keeping 4 of them at the moment.
Can and will they bite you, yes.
Are some just more aggressive and stay that way then others, yes.
If that's your biggest concern about not getting one, you need do more homework and research.

Jarod,
Kudos to you for doing research ahead of the fact, too many iggy owners don't do that and can't cope when the cute tiny hatchling gets big.
That being said, you have to consider how much time, space, effort and money you want to put into this lizard. You can develop handling skills, and create a dividable cage. But if the possibility of significant aggression on the part of a large lizard wasn't what you had in mind, now is the time to perhaps explore other choices of lizard.
One lizard that is medium sized and was not mentioned on your other thread are blue tongue skinks, and a pair of those would love the enclosure you have currently.
You might want to contact a local reptile group and see if anyone has large lizards, talk to them and even go over and see how you feel about handling their lizards if they invite you to do so.
