Is there a species of Iguana that stays "relatively" small that is commonly available?

Desert igs stay only about 14 inches long
Spiney tails dont get as huge but eat some protein...Lyn

desert iggs stay small as stated above.. spiny tails are an option but they dont tame down very easily... chuckwallas are realted to iguanas you could check out them.. not sure on there size but they dont get huge...

In my experience, these guys tame down very well, but you have to wait up to a year before taming. They are extremely fast, and IMO the wait before taming just makes them easier to catch.

Yep, but they don't look like a regular green iguana. IMO the most overlooked pet iguana is the Ctenosaurus similis, which grows to about 3 fet snout-to-tail. Check out Kingsnake Forums to look for them, and contact Manny. I never did get his e-mail address, but you can reach him by visiting The Kingsnake forum Cyclura and Ctenosaurus - you can find this forum at

It's down on the left column. pretty far down. Then click into that forum, and scroll quite a way down to the post that looks like this:
"RE: Protein! Schmotrein!That won't make him aggressive. Manny, Apr 29, 2004" You can locate it by the date posted.

You can e-mail him from that screen. Manny collects specimens from his Southern Florida back-woods areas.

I've done business with him, and he's a good guy.
