>>> "They actually recommend Iguanas and Anoles to first time reptile owners!"

It is rather funny(really more sad though) how many pet stores "push" people to by more delicate, and needing types of animals. Most people haven't got the first clue as to how to raise either one, nor the basic requirements. It's often about simply moving their inventory, and getting hopeful repeat business when the animal they previously sold expires.

I always feel so bad for most of the animals in a pet store, as the majority will have a very dim future to look forward to.
