    Pink skin?

    The other day I was in Petco grabbing some iguana stuff and I did the normal loop through the rep tanks and noticed they have a "Greek". I put this in quotes because the torts skin was literally pink, but his shell was very Greek colored. I've seen redfoots at Petco before so at first I was...

    Do any of you keep Iguanas?

    My red gets here monday. Any final advice, words of wisdom, or husbandry I should know before relying on what Ive read on other forums and the little bit Ive retained from Iggy, my first iguana when I was 8? (iggy went to a farm when my mom realized how big he got)
