    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.
