No, you can't They regrow teeth throughout their lives. And yes, they use them for tearing up their food.

I didn't know they had teeth. I've never been bitten by mine. Iguana's are very delicate creatures. The slightest of change and it could make a major impact on them. I would try to do as much as possible to make them live naturally.

No. lol. That would probably hurt them. If you're iguana is biting it might feel scared and sometimes if they're a male and a female is on their period they get very Dominant and may bite. If it's a smaller iguana than it's normal for them to whip and maybe try to bite because they're scared, they need constant attention to become tame.

Why would you want to do this to begin with? If there wasn't a reason for them to have teeth they wouldn't be there in the first place. They do use them to eat.

Why the heck would you put them trough that. The vet would probobly refuse to do so anyways. AND YES THERE TEETH ARE FOR EATING. Quit coming up with ideas to torture your pet.

why would you want its teeth removed they need teeth to eat and defend themselves so it would be allot more aggressive and start whipping its tail around. i mean how would you feel with your teeth removed. and they eat plants how would it make it safer.

They DO need their teeth.
If you are afraid of being bitten by your pet, get goldfish instead!
