This is mostly about Buddy the rhino iguana, we got him as a baby back in 2005. Our son Logan was born a year later. Most of the early pictures of the two of them were posed. We didn't tame Buddy, he just got used to us and considers us his family. Before considering an iguana please do your research. They aren't always friendly and require a very large cage. They also have very sharp claws. Bearded dragons are probably a better choice for a childs first pet lizard. Buddy is probably the exception. I am very lucky to have Buddy and Logan. They are both very special
