[Green Iguana Iguana iguana]

The Green Iguana is native to Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands and grows to 6 feet long and over 10 pounds. Iguanas hatched in captivity make good pets if given proper care and feeding which may not be easy in non-tropical locations. Wild iguanas seldom survive in captivity.

While green iguanas are eaten in Central and South America they are CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) listed as Appendix II "threatened" so I don't recommend eating them. They should also not be purchased as pets unless their fairly demanding care and feeding needs can be met - for a period of 20 years or more.

I have not eaten Iguana because it is CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) listed as Appendix II "threatened" so I'm not providing any instructions here. Besides, it's said that it "tastes like chicken", just like every other weird critter is said to taste like.
