Its actually not a good idea to have an iguana around children because of the parasites they can carry in their skin, or so I've read. I think it only applies to small children though.
The only reason I can't get an iguana for a while is because I want a bigger place to allow it to roam around in. Iguanas can grow as much as 8' long if their surrnoudings allow for it. You can also train them to go to the bathroom in a kitty litter box provided you get them young enough.
