Iguanas: Rhino vs Green

[dragonmetalhead]

I notice a lot of people on this forum own rhino iguanas and I am curious to see how they compare to green iguanas. In the future, I would very much like to have an iggy species of some sort but I want to know which would be the best choice. I've worked with greens before—the worst bite I've ever received from an animal was from the male who used to live at work—but have only seen rhinos in zoos. I did see that one video of the guy's kid eating cereal with the family rhino and thought it was one of the cutest things I'd ever seen.

I've had alot of greens,and own a rhino and had others lol,i think green iguanas are alittle more aggressive,every iguana will be different.Care almost the same and rhino's dont get as long but more stocky bith cool iguanas,rhino's being my favorite.My juvi cuban is cool too good temperment to .

You might want to do some research on cubans(C. nubila) while you're at it, they're beautiful and often described as one of the easier iggy species to tame.

Good point my cuban is alot more calm than any green or rhino i'd ever had and i had alot of greens years ago and a couple rhino's,and only one hatchling high contrast cuban which i have now very calm for a little guy.

My Cubans tamed real fast. I'd say within a couple weeks.

Mine has been really mellow for a hatchling and his color is getting better each shed,he was 12'' when i got him now 14'' fast growth.

I have had ony one green and he never would tame down . My first rhino tamed within weeks , the one i have now took a few months . BUT worth it IMO , they look soooo cool with horns .
