Green Iquanas (Iguana iguana) are popular as pets and as a food source in Latin America. While they are not on the endangered species list, they are listed under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) because of their popularity. This appendix has over 30,000 species that, while not immediately under a threat of extinction, might become in danger of extinction if trade of those species are not strictly monitored and regulated.

Are Iguana iguana mean?

Not in general. However every Iguana is different and like people each one has its own personality. Some are aggressive but they are not outright malicious. They will only attack when they feel threatened. An Iguana in captivity can be "tamed" but always remember that they dont have the generations upon generations of selective breeding which makes dogs/cats so tame generally.


Are Iguana dangerous?

They are herbivores and will only attack if they feel threatened, using their tail. They are more than likely to run away, however.
