Tricko has been our pet for three years and he is a very important family member now. Tricko is not a normal house pet; he is our iguana and he spends most of his time sleeping and eating vegetables and fruits. 3 years ago when we first got Tricko he was only a few inches long and he was very scared of us. He used to bite, scratch and tail whip us. Now Tricko is about 3ft long and is very tamed. Now Tricko can even recognize people he is very unfriendly to the visitor to our house and he hates seeing another iguana.
It was very difficult to convince my mom to get an iguana because she does not really want a pet and she knows that it is a lot of work to have a pet. After a year of convincing my mom finally gave in. We could not get a cat or dog or any animal that has fur because my mom is allergic to animal fur. So we decided to get an iguana. Now Tricko not only our pet but he is also a very important member in our family.
