Giant Lizard Greets Man Like a Dog

Buddy the Rock Iguana acts like a dog when his owner, Dave Durham, calls him. Almost makes me wanna get a pet lizard… (dailypicks)

Oh yes. What a fine specimen.
This reminds me of my 4 ft. Savana monitor, named Dog (RIP buddy), that also showed affection and loved a good scratch and a bask on my warm belly. He never bit me even once in 9 the years I raised him. That's a good boy.

I've only had small anoles and stuff in terrariums, but this fella looks awesome. I'm definitely no expert, but it certainly looks like he is well fed -- don't usually see a reptile that fat in the wild. Not that I think he looks TOO fat -- just very healthy.

He looked to be a healthy weight to me. I've seen footage of wild one's that looked even fatter, for instance most marine iguanas in the Galapagos that I've seen looked fatter, but he's certainly well fed and happy.
I did anoles too, in a 200 gal terrarium with tiger salamanders. Every now and then I gave one to the Savana monitor, I figured a lizard has everything in it that a growing lizard needs, so they should make a good supplement.
