    The Iguana, also known as the most common iguana; is the largest lizard in the Americas, around 6.5 feet and about 11 pounds. They are one of the most popular reptile pet in the United States regardless of how hard they are to care for. Usually the iguanas that are kept as pets or held captive, die within the first year; or many get released into the wild or are given to reptile rescue groups. The iguanas have a wide range of living areas. Some examples are: Northern Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and Southern Brazil. They spend most of their lives in an overhanging covering and only leave to mate, lay eggs, or change trees. Generally herbivores, iguanas are more active during the day, eating on leaves, flowers, and fruit. They usually live by water and are great swimmers. If endangered, they will jump from a branch, sometimes from increasing heights, and escape with a leap to the water under them. They are also solid enough to land on sturdy ground from as high as 40 feet and live. Iguanas' big sturdy bodies gives them a lazy look, but they are fast and active on land. They have sturdy jaws with razor-sharp teeth and sharp tails, which make up most of their body length and can be used as whips to scare off predators. They can also break off their tails if caught and will grow another tail without any previous permanent damage. Some other members of the iguana family include the Fiji Island banded iguana, the desert iguana, and the Galápagos Islands marine iguana. Their looks, actions, and threatened rankings differ from species to species. Due to Florida's height in the exotic pet trade, iguanas given to us as pets have escaped or been released into the wild, and are now settled in South Florida. They can do all sorts of damage to your plants. Iguanas eat plants and that is very true when you are talking about types of fruit plants. They also need a place to live/shelter and if you do not have messes or…
