Im thinking about purchasing one, but do you think i should 2? They're $50 each at my local pet store. I've been wanting an iguana since i was 5! I have a 3 year old bearded dragon that i love and adore. How long did it take you to get him this size?
@ZmanCanTV mine grew an inch a month every month for four years. so he was 3 ft long after about 2 years. if you want 2, you should be ready for the chance that you won't get along. if, within 2 years, you can provide the equivalent of 2 cages that are at least 5 feet long, 2 feet deep, and 4 feet tall, then you could get 2. iggies are great, but they're a lot of work... make sure you want two before you get them!
Your red iguana looks amazing...i just got one the other day his body is red now with a lime green belly....what are you feeding hkm...and does he have any favorite foods thanks
@rickky0688 hey, yeah i was totally surprised by the lime green belly. i feed him collard/dandelion/mustard greens, sugar snap/snow peas, butternut/spaghetti/kabocha squash, parsnip, alfalfa for protein. he really likes collards, nectarines, and grapes.
@ExoticAnimalsTV oh it'll be a while before yours gets this big :). grendel grows about an inch a month.
in what way is yours not tame? is he biting/tail whipping? are you handling him a lot? now is the time to do that! i have some advice if you want it.
grendel was always pretty skittish. we have a decent relationship now, given that he's a pretty large, territorial male, but in retrospect i wish i had worked a lot harder taming him b/c he can be aggressive.
Is a RED El Salvador iguana the same as yours?

@Ornqiraj i think a red el salvador iguana is just a red iguana from el salvador...? that would be my guess
