Your first post is the epitome of why this trade is so shady. I won't quote it. Too extreme.

However,

"I could say that it is impossible for you to maintain Cyclura under optimal conditions because of where you live and I WOULD BE CORRECT. Quite simply it is extremely difficult to keep Cyclura if their kept inside most of the year. I don't mean they will die but that it is NOT a suitable herp to keep in cold climates unless one has a great deal of extra money to use to construct proper enclosures."

Why do you think I'm now regretting every herp I've had? I've had this cuban rock for a while and it's very nice and socialized. Luckily enough for me I live in an area that at times has a higher UV index than some other temperate locations.. but that is a moot point and you are right.

Also you're missing the fact (stated, I don't know which post exactly) that I believe (as of the last few years of my life) that both the Iguana genera and Cyclura genera are "injurious" and "unmanageable". (this i do have a bit of experience in. as I have kept one of each to adulthood, not an amazing repertoire but whatever. I've found the green iguana to be bad for the pet trade) The one thing that cyclura have over Iguana iguana is that they grow a bit slower, allowing more time to design said monumental enclosure. These are the ONLY herbivorous species that I think this way about. The only way to injure yourself with a tortoise is either by the strange event of "being beaked" by it during feedings or in transport by lifting with your back, and not your legs.
