Greebs-that's a crazy Tiger! I've never seen one like that before. Still can't find any over hear. One day... I hope.
Dobermanmick-he's about 5years old and still growing like a weed. They are a bit of a pain (literally) to handle due to their huge claws. I could clip them but he uses them alot to climb. Other than that they're great. He usually climbs on top of my head. He's really affectionate. Loves to have his lower jaw rubbed. He's such a suck. Sleeps and eats lots. They are frightenly cheap here. About $25-$50 CND. Needless to say they are one of the most abused and misunderstood reptiles. Most die within 5 years, mainly because people don't feed them properly. They should live 15-25years. I love mine, and wouldn't trade or sell him for anything. I really could go on forever about Green Iguanas, there really is alot to know, and they have tons of personality. If you ever get the chance to leagally own one, and are prepared I highly recommend them for the right keeper.
I should add, I have been bitten by him. Once when we first got him and he wasn't used to people at all. Second when I was taking a peice of strawberry to feed him, he thought I was just taking his strawberry. Note: dont' mess with there strawberries. The bites are nasty! Lots of very sharp teeth.

Cool, I'm sure Armadhi would be pleased to hear that. He has the run of my snake room. He's litter trained too. Smart little devils, and damn agile when they want to be. They are easy to breed, but I don't breed them. I'm going to try to get an albino one sometime in the future and I may try to breed those. If you haven't seen the albinos yet, I suggest running a google on them. They are very impressive.
Don't be too jealous. You should see the price of Lace Monitors and Perenties here...yikes!

Simon, Iguanas usually deficate in the same spot every time, so it's really easy to litter train them. Just put some in a box where you want them to go and that's it. They kind of come that way.

That's a Green Iguana (Iguana iguana), and they are illegal in Australia. But no he's not messy or difficult to handle really.
Yep, it is reptles like your pal Armadhi that are the "weak point" in our exotics amnesty Kevyn for me as having an animal like that in your home would be absolutely amazing so all I can do is sit in envy and admire such a regal looking animal. Thank- you for sharing such a great photo. Any plans to get him a girlie friend?

Ya I think about it every now and then. The fact that Greens go for around $25-$50 each kind of puts me off. Not because I won't make much off them, just because the low price leads to many impulse buys. I think I'll hold off for a bit and wait to get a female albino imported. Those are truely amazing. Thanks for the kind words, Armadhi would be very flattered.
