Why would you rescue an iguana if you can't care for it? Sounds like someone needs to rescue it from you!

Iguanas are not cheap pets to take care of. They need large UVB bulbs, which can cost around $40 and need to be changed every 6 months (they lose strength even though they give off light). They need a fresh salad every day, and a variety of food items in the salad--this adds up as well. The heat lamp can be a regular household bulb like 100w, in a dome reflector. A lizard the size of a full grown IG may need two to properly bask and warm his whole body. Use a probe thermometer to measure temps--they should be about 100F. And adults Igs will need a home made cage of at least 6 feet x 4 feet. You really need to borrow money from a friend or relative to provide for him or as stated make money somehow to care for him. Rescue is an expensive hobby.

Instead of begging to strangers, why don't you get a little job or side job to earn money? People don't help people who won't help themselves!
