    Each coin has two sides. What about your idea?

    Many people are looking for a pet that is a little more interesting than a cat or a dog. If you have a lot of space and are happy to find out how to look after it, a green iguana(蜥蜴) can make a great pet. We spoke to Dr. Troy Wilson, a specialist in lizards, about how to look after an iguana.

    The first question is, what should it live in?

    Dr. Wilson: The green iguana can grow to be about 2 meters long, so you are going to need a big space to keep it in. Start with a small glass tank for a baby iguana, then when it is bigger, you can move it into a larger cage.

    Do they need water?

    Dr. Wilson: Yes. Iguanas need water to drink and sit in. In the wild they always live near water and they are good swimmers. They need a water dish or small pond that is big enough for them to sit in.

    What do they eat?

    Dr. Wilson: They eat mostly raw vegetables and some fruit. You can feed your iguana fresh vegetables every day and some fruit once a week. Iguanas cannot chew their food so you should cut it into the right size. They swallow food in one piece.

    Are they fun?

    Dr. Wilson: An Iguana is a clever, friendly animal. It will learn who you are and can even be quite affectionate. (深情的)
