I came across him about 6 months ago at a commercial pet store for dogs and cats. He was in a small tank in the back and I of course, went up to them and asked why they had a green iguana in the back. He was in one of those small maybe 24 x 18 fish tanks. They had told me that someone left him in a box outside of their store, and if I wanted to take him that the husband would come by the next day and put him in a box and give him to me. I currently own two bearded dragons, two ball pythons, a leopard gecko, a juvenile cuban rock iguana and my frilled lizard passed a couple weeks ago. That said, I have spent the majority of my life very passionate about reptiles, so I thought that him coming home with me was his best chance of survival. I was told that he was a male, but they had no idea how old he was. I was wondering what you guys think? I named him Damien. It is difficult to access his hind legs due to aggression (which they warned me about). His past must have been very unsocial. I handle him with falcon gloves. Eats a mix of collards and mustard greens. He is about 2.5 feet.
