I was told it was company policy that Petsmart does not sell green iguanas. I have never seen a single green iguana in a petsmart, nor have I ever met or heard of anyone who has seen an actual green iguana being sold in a petsmart.
Again, I'm was talking in generalities. The average joe knows squat thinks all there is to keeping anoles is a Kritter Keeper. A TRUE herper will learn from their mistakes and improve their husbandry over time. The average joe will not; to him, a green anole is just a gold fish with legs...or an ant farm, or a grow-a-frog kit = something disposable. They don't view them how you or I or anyone else on this board sees them.
futureleopardtortoise said:Petsmart and Petco can only sell animals that aren't illegal in that area. So, I bet there is a Petsmart or Petco somewhere that sells green iguanas, just can't in most places because they are illegal.
I also take a little offense to the anole thing. We caught our own anoles in Florida and had them for several years, even got a few accidental babies. Sure we had no idea what we were doing, but we actually ended up taking pretty good care of them.
