Why not feed an iguana cherries?
Yes, Cherries are a good option for your Iguana's fruit source. Just remember...Iguanas should only have fruit as 10-15% of their daily diet...leafy greens (not lettuce) equal 50-55%...and vegetables 30-35%. Iguana's like to have a variety in their diet so try to mix things up often so your pet does not tire of his meals.

How do you tell a male iquana from a female iquana?
You cant usually tell the difference between male and female piranhas.
There are no notable differences. So if you are looking to breed you will not have very much luck with just 1-2 piranhas.
Some iguanas may not like eating acidic foods such as tomatoes and it may be likely that the iguana can not properly break down the acid in the food, not a natural food choice.
Occasionally is fine, only if the iguana doesn't have any negative reactions to it. Some people offer these foods for more variety and color.
You can get more information on feeding iguanas at greenigsociety.org (the above is quoted from that site). They have a very detailed food chart there.

What is the largest thing an alligator can eat?
An American alligator? The species grows to a maximum of 15 feet in length (reports of 19 foot individuals are erroneous.) A 15 foot adult could potentially feed on cattle, dogs, pigs, and other animals of this size.
No - reptiles are covered in interlocking scales - not hairs.
What should you feed an iguana?
Iguanas are entirely herbivorous (plant-eating) from the time of birth and do not require any type of animal protein at any point in their lives. Older iguana studies indicated that iguanas displayed quick growth if fed large amount of animal protein, which is true. What is also true however, is that iguanas fed large amounts of animal protein do not live very long, often as a result of gout or metabolic bone disease. It is important to offer iguanas a diet composed of calcium rich greens, fruits, and vegetables. Herbivorous reptiles require a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 2:1 in their captive diets in order to fare well. A diet that provides for this necessity is as follows : 70-80% Dark, leafy, calcium rich greens such as: collard greens, mustard greens, endive, watercress, and dandelion greens. If they can be obtained, mulberry and hibiscus leaves should be included as often as possible. Avoid iceberg lettuce entirely, it has no nutritional value. Spinach should be either fed in small amounts or avoided entirely because it contains oxalic acid, which binds calcium in the intestinal tract, making it unavailable. 20-30% Grated vegetables such as: carrots, winter squash, pumpkin, zucchini, thawed frozen mixed vegetables, and spineless prickly pear cactus pads. Avoid or feed sparingly: broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, escarole, cauliflower. These vegetables contain iodine binders that can cause thyroid problems. 10-20% Fruits and flowers such as: strawberries, raspberries, mango, papaya, kiwi, melon, apple (no seeds), prickly pear cactus fruits and flowers, hibiscus, nasturtium, and dandelion flowers. Iguanas love bananas, but they should only be offered as a treat because they have the incorrect calcium to phosphorus ratio. Make sure to cut and grate all food into bite size pieces for babies.
