I hear the "oh I'll just get rid of it" thing alllll the time. Even a 200 gallon tank would be too small - ideally an adult iguana should be housed in something that's AT LEAST 6' by 6' by 8'. Most people just don't have the room or money for an enclosure that big and the things that go with it.
Same sort of thing happens to the bigger birds - people want that cute little caique that flips himself over on my hands and whistles, but don't realize it's like having a 2 year old child... for the next 50 or so years.

I wish we could not sell animals during the week of Christmas. My store is about to start carrying neutered bunnies. That is going to SUCK come springtime...

The dragons are both female, I'm 99% sure, although the lady who gave them to me called one a male and one a female. The one with the worst nose was the "male", but aside from the neck spikes being slightly more pronounced than the other dragon's, I don't see any real male characteristics.

I'll see if I can get some pictures of them over the next few days. While I was in Colorado my brother was not quite as diligent as I was about cleaning their noses but they're still coming along well.
