Care Level: Moderate
The green iguana is one of the most commonly kept lizards in captivity due to their large size, calm temperaments and bright colors. Native to Central and South America, green iguanas have been kept in captivity for decades. Because they are inexpensive to buy and can be found in almost any pet store, it is a common misconception that iguanas are an easy pet to keep. Their proper diet, heat and space requirements can make keeping a green iguana a demanding task. However if these requirements can be met, an iguana can make a wonderful companion for many years.
