Did anyone else see this? Reptiles magazine has a section called "Ask the Breeder" by Jerry G. Walls. July features a question from a 16 year old in Florida who's trying to breed his green iguanas and wants advice. There's a page and a half long article with advice on how to go about doing so. Though it says, "Because baby green iguanas are still imported by the tens of thousands and sold at absurdly low prices, there is no commercial incentive to produce captive-bred iguanas in the United States. However, once definite and compatible pairs are formed and the proper housing is supplied, some keepers, especially in the warmer states, have found that outdoor breeding of these large lizards is relatively simple and certain."
It doesn't mention *any* of the many reasons why it's a bad idea to breed green iguanas, and actually encourages this kid to keep trying! Nothing about how the majority of iguanas are neglected or just poorly taken care of until they die at an early age. 
And listen to the advice on sexing iguanas, which is really pretty easy with adult animals: "Other than actually seeing hemipenes and egs, there is no absolute way of determining sex in large green iguanas. There are tendencies, however, that become more pronounced as the iguanas become older. Males tend to have higher spines in the crest, stronger knobs on the scales on the neck and a larger dewlap than females of similar size and age. They may assume bright colors on the face when ready to breed."
The stuff about the "knobs" is the only really useful bit in there about sexing...
Sorry for the long post. I just found this article to be somewhat irritating. :-/
