Anyone read this article? Pay close attention to A. the keeping of said animal and B. The so called "Iguana Tips" given at the end of the article. Its no wonder so many people have the wrong information about Iguana's and their diets*L*

ARRRRRGH! My blood pressure just shot through the roof.

You guys think it would be worthwhile to email this reporter & correct her? Would it even make a difference? I want to do something besides just sitting here & fuming. Aren't reporters supposed to do a little research on the topics they write about? And aren't they supposed to check their sources? This reads like she walked into Petco and got her info from the first teenage sales clerk she found...

Sigh! All too often, reporters do no research.

I like the part about the stray iguana being a "rare find"
I had two strays in the past five years. I still have one. I have been offered more.
