Iguana aka "gila shlomo" is a genus of lizard native to tropical areas of Central and South America. Iguanas are not easy to care for. The iguana has become a very popular pet over the last few years but few people are aware of the difficulty of caring for them. Iguanas are very expensive to care for. They require a very large cage, a varied fresh diet, proper temperatures and UV lighting. Adult iguanas are powerful and can become very aggressive. The word "Iguana" is derived from a Spanish form of the original Taino name for the species "Iwana". [Foto: ICR/Playa Buena, Guanacaste]
