Is there by chance a rescue near by that you could adopt from? I will get back to your post in a bit as I have to head out the door shortly. And Welcome to IZ!

The Iguana in the picture looks very healthy. So if the ones at the store look that good I say go for it. You want want that is alert no crust in the eyes. A nice full tail.

i would also recommend going to a rescue, there are so many unloved beautiful iggies out there, and it's always a shame when the babies are chosen over them. you must also realize, an iguana is a VERY big leap into responsibility and time consumption. they live an upward of 15 years.... think about that lol

you're welcome, and if you could maybe get some pics of the babies, we'd have a MUCH better idea of how healthy they are... and most pet stores have a 7 day policy, where if they are unhealthy or get hurt, they might pay the vet bills. look into that before you buy!
