I used to have two iguanas, Bonnie and Clyde. Clyde died (we rescued them from a crappy pet shop) Bonnie we were able to save, found out it was a boy and renamed him spike. I built my own enclosure for him. When they are small & young they eat bugs (meal worms& crickets)and stuff like that, when they get older they are only vegetarian, though wouldn't say no to a meal worm every once in awhile. They turn color to what ever you feed them (lots of carrots=orangey color. Don't bother with Iceberg lettuce, its mostly water and doesn't have good nutrients (go with romaine, or mixed greens)
I unfortunately don't have Spike anymore, when my BF and I split up he took him. He was pretty cool though. Definately handle him a lot, otherwise they get mean, and the tail can be as bad as the bite.
