First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the SuperZoo National Show for Pet Retailers at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
About the Pets set: The USPS created 20 stamps to celebrate the many different animals we humans keep as companions. Each stamp pictures one species: puppies, betta fish, iguanas, hamsters, goldfish, kittens, rabbits, tortoises, guinea pigs, parrots, corn snakes, mice, hermit crabs, chinchillas, gerbils, geckos, cats, horses, parakeets, and dogs.
History the stamp represents: Central and South America, Mexico, and several islands are home to as many as 35 different species of iguana. Groups of these naturally laid back and social lizards, known as “lounges,” can often e found sunning themselves for the better part of the day.
The iguana’s typically docile nature makes it a popular pet in the United States and abroad. But the animal can require quite a commitment. Depending on the species, iguanas can be anywhere from five inches to seven feet long. They are known to live up to 20 years and can weigh over 20 pounds.
Iguanas are not low-maintenance pets and their care can be rather costly. They have a very specific diet and require a stable environment with lots of attention. Pet owners are encouraged to research how to interact with a new pet iguana to tame it.
Iguanas are observant, curious, confident, and intelligent lizards. They learn quickly and, as pets, are said to recognize human body language, voices, and even some words. It can take some time to socialize a pet iguana and building a lasting relationship is a constant learning experience. But, once formed, the bond between an iguana and its owner is unbreakable and the reward can be invaluable.
