I have a 6 Foot Green Iguana that I raised myself. Currently he is in a 10 gallon tank. He is very healthy and i take him out alot but the tank has seemed to affect his bone structure. He is always curled up in the tank. I dont have the money to buy a new tank. What should I do?

Do what some aquarists do. Eat him!

Note to everyone else: Perhaps we should start a charity called Giving Trolls Useful Hobbies... They seem to post more in this hot weather, anyone notice that?

If you can't afford a new tank, (or a room!) get rid of the iguana! You shouldn't be keeping a baby iguana in a ten gallon!

It's a troll, a complete joke. A 10 gallon is 24 inches long, you'd have to use a plunger to get a 6 foot lizard in there. The animal would have to be bent into thirds. This was a post by someone in need of a hobby.

OK, I figured maybe, but I have seen firsthand how a human being can be that stupid. (And I didn't know that an Iguana cant "Fit" in it, I know some lizards are pretty flexible, no matter how cruel it is. Plus Ive read that a six foot long Iguanas length is almost entirely tail.
