Pet iguanas are a group of large lizards that belong to the family known as "Iguanidae". They can make very sociable and highly intelligent pets. However, they have strict dietary and health requirements and need a dedicated owner in order to thrive. In addition to an environment with a regulated temperature, iguana owners must provide fresh food and water and periodically trim the claws of their iguana.Adam Britton: Claw Trimming
Green Iguana
The green iguana is the most common type found in the United Sates as a pet. These generally come from iguana farms in Central America, which serve to meet and fuel the demands of the iguana pet trade. While the green iguana is a threatened species, it is not as endangered as other more rare types of iguana.Smithsonian: Green Iguana Fact Sheet-
