That is not necessarily true. Some iguanas make very good pets. The males can be more aggressive than the females. It depends on how the iguana is raised, treated and socialized ... just like with any animal.
We had a six foot long male iguana. He was not aggressive at all. He took naps with me on the couch, and had free run of our living room.
Iguanas make very good pets, for someone who takes the time to do the research into proper care, treatment and socialization.
Not everyone can or should own one, but not everyone should own any pet.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
