how big is big

They only get around 15" total length. Very petite little lizards, but very active so still need vivs of around 4ft or more. I really enjoyed mine, they were very curious little guys that had no fear of people and would climb out of the cage and sit on you while you handfed them. They move very fast though and can be scatty which can make them very unhandlable; I must admit I never had this problem with mine, but I still wouldnt risk letting them roam about on the floor as they can zip off at crazy speed if they want to.

they dont get big - are you thinking about green iguanas? I got 2 they are 10 months old and pretty much fully grown they are about 14-15 inches long from snout to tip - their tails are quite long and make up the majority of their length and I dont think they get much bigger than 16 inches usually - they are awesome I can sit for hours watching my 2 (plus they are pretty new to me also) they are really active and rarely stay still - Habu sees them in his and their natural habitat which must be awesome - unfortuntely mine are kept in a viv in a desert set up with lots of low levels as they like to dig and crawl over things - they arent particularly handleable as say beardies put I can catch mine - they squirm for a little while and then settle for a short space and then they want to be put down again - one will sit in my hand for ageees whilst the other shoots off and they can take food from your hand although mine dont at the moment - I think they are pretty awesome too!! they like hot hot temps though
