 Need A Good Home For Cuban Rock Iguana...

I am currently looking to find a GREAT home for my male Cuban Rock Iguana. He is about 3 years old, and super healthy! I pride myself on having had very healthy iguanas thru the years. He does require a lot of attention, not to mention food! He is an amazing eater. Here is some background info...

When I bought him three years ago he was relatively tame. The first year I had him he was held and received lots of attention. Unfortunately for him my wife and I had a baby and my time was no longer available to him. He has become somewhat aggressive, and he needs work to be handled. I have very little doubt that if someone works with him he will again become the perfect pet. Having said that, I am trying to find someone that will give him TONS of attention, and a fantastic home. He deserves it! I feel horrible that he no longer fits into my lifestyle. But what is best for him is all that matters now.

Over the past 15 years I have housed many iguanas, both Cyclura and greens. I have never had an iguana become ill, or even break a toe nail in my care. I am meticulous when it comes to the care of my "boys" (I have always had males).

Can anyone tell me where the best place to find him a home would be? I have searched a bunch of sites, but I continue getting people telling me that they have the perfect aquarium to put him in. He is NOT going to a home where he will be housed in a fish tank!!!!! I am looking for someone with a REAL background in dealing with Cyclura, not geckos or chameleons!!

Any advice is appreciated!

what our rescue does is post lists on kijiki but not sure if you have that in the states.. and i always ask for experince qualifcations and proof and i ask to have the enclosure already set up and i go and check it and i make them use the same vet we use so i know the iguana is getting regular vet care hope this helps
