keeping an iguana you find.
Hi, i found a baby iguana on my back porch, and i want to keep him but i feel bad about it. it says that iguana parents leave the baby and never return, so i figured it is ok since he has no one to go back to. should i keep him or not? and i was wondering if i let him go will he come back (like cats) to my house or just leave and not come back?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
It's possible that someone lost their pet iguana. I would make posters and put them up around your neighborhood and your town, advertising that you've found an iguana.
It could be wild, and if you don't get anyone to say it's theirs, then you'll probably never know.
Like someone said, you should go to a pet store and ask what to do with an iguana as a pet, like how to take care of it and whatnot.

well i would definately not let it go if you decide to keep it as a pet, the poor thing would not survive. the mother mostlikely is not coming back. if you keep it, i highly urge you to bring it to a vet, just to get it checked out. then i would look up some info on iguanas to know what to feed it and how to properly take care of it. i would also buy a large cage you can temporarily keep it in if you decide to keep it. i will include some links you can look at for information:

also, if you go to your nearest pet store, you can ask them information on iguanas for further research.
Good luck!!!

I know whenever someone finds a cute animal they tend to want to keep it, which is generally not the best. Keeping a wild animal is a hard thing to do. Unless you have other pet iguanas and know all the proper things it needs, I would not suggest you take it. Poor little thing needs to learn how to live in the wild. Best thing for it is if you can find where to set him in a good place.But its your choice, do what you think is best. If you decide to keep it, do some research on how to take care of it. :)Good luck!
