I am a herp nut, and right now I own three beardies, and a juvenile snapper. I've lost two previous beardies due to lack of proper care at a pet store, and when I was younger (still only 20, but still) I owned an iguana. Well, my stepmother ended up frying him by leaving him outside in a glass tank for hours.
Now I am in Afghanistan for a fun filled deployment, which is providing some funds for when I get back home. I'm going to get my own place, and when I do, I plan on getting another 'little' friend.
So, I will get another iguana. I have the ultimate owners manual, as well as Melissa Kaplan's book on the way so I can do even more research as I wait to head back stateside.

What I'd like to know is that from you owners out there, what experiences do you have with your monster?
Do you have an Iguana iguana, or one of the various Cycluras?
Right now I am considering the Cyclura nubila lewisi/Cuban Rock Grand Cayman hybrid.
Is there any noticeable differences in temperaments between the green, Cuban Rock, or Rhino iguanas? Really, are there many or any significant differences that I should be aware of? I realize that the Green iguana is more arboreal than the Cycluras and as such would need more climbing opportunities.
Any nifty pictures that you can share?
Other than that, any insight is greatly appreciated. I've been looking online for as much information as possible, but still there is always room to know more.
Thank you as always.
