I view that as a good thing. I visited for the first time in 4 years a few days ago, and was amazed at how few posts there were in a day. This board used to get many posts a day, and was very active. I take the decline as an indication that the general populace has finally come to the conclusion that these lizards in general DO NOT make good pets, and require huge expenditures of time and money to do it right. I haven't been in a pet shop for a long time, (other than Petsmart for dog and cat food)so I hope there are no more or at least fewer igs being sold as pets.
I became interested in iguanas in the mid 90's, and after much research, decided that it was wrong for me to obtain one as a pet. As luck would have it, a few years later,a neighbor's daughter had one, and they needed to get rid of it. My wife and I discussed it, and finally decided to make the longterm commitment to rescue this ig. so, in late 1998, we took Bug in, and he's still with us, living in a large enclosure that take up a large portion of our bathroom.. He's now close to ten years old, and has been a handful from the start. He's large, about 12-14 lbs, and VERY agressive. One bite to my left thumb when he was about 4 lbs taught me a lot. He could take my thumb off, now...
Anyway, the point of all this is, After ten years, I'm pleased to see that there is a decline in interest in these creatures, and, I hope, a corresponding decrease in imports...
