I'm looking for someone who has kept C. similis (Black Spiny-Tailed Iguanas) as a pet.



What I'm hoping for are experiences with these lizards in captivity. Do they tame? What sort of complications are involved in their care? How do they compare to the more traditional Green Iguana in terms of temprament?



My interest is piqued by recent conversations with people who've had problems with wild C. similis here in Florida. The general consensus I've been hearing is that these animals are unsuitable as pets, but I wanted to hear the other side from people who keep them successfully.



If you don't want to reply here, please send e-mail to scott.ladd@gmail.com.



Thank you.
