Iguanas Require Space
Many new iguana owners do not realize the space requirements for their new friends. As soon as the igs outgrow their iguana cages, they sometimes, sadly, release the lizards into the urban wild. There are kind souls who rescue found iguanas, but this is a terrible trend that needs to stop.

McKnight and his partner, Melanie Shroyer, have about 40 non-native reptiles living at their Marana home, most of which started out as cute pets but grew up. Their guests include 17 hulky iguanas, three African spurred tortoises that each weigh about 100 pounds, and a crocodile monitor that could grow as long as 19 feet.
