About how old? Just a juvenile!! Pretty small still! I wish they would stay that size, but they get too big for me to deal with. That's why I want a corn snake. I think I could manage a 4 ft snake!
She doesn't whip very often, and since she has a regrown tail she doesn't have the sharp spikes running the whole length of her tail which means less pain and damage if she would whip. She has nipped me before, but didn't draw blood it was more of a warning than her wanting to hurt me. She is very tempermental.
They eat a variety of veggies, leafy greens and fruits. They do not eat lettuce and insects.
If you are seriously thinking about raising an Iguana, let me know. I'll make sure you have all the info you need, and direct to to some sites that have been a huge help to me. They are not easy or cheap to keep.

Wow, you are lucky. How did she lose her tail? I hope it was when she was a baby! I thing I my neighbor's did draw blood on me a few times through biting and claws. It was a long time ago and I was pretty little, so I don't fully remember. I do remember getting really scared when I got whipped for the first time!
If I do eventually get one, I will definitely talk to you. Unfortunately it won't happen very soon. I'll have to have my own place first. My grandma and mom don't really like reptiles. My grandpa would love a snake, but I do have a parrot and a dog. However, my dog is scared shit less of snakes! Whenever she see's one she pee's herself. She's a wimp, but she is tiny. She's a chihuahua/rat terrier mix and weighs 20 lbs (because my grandma gives her too many treats, she should be 15 lbs.)

I though Ball python's could easily get to 7 ft. Maybe that's Rosie Boa's. Ball python's are beautiful though! An albino corn would be awesome though. Too bad I don't have the space and I don't think anyone is allowed to have one, but a Reticulated python would be fucking awesome!!!

And finally the Rose Hair Tarantula
Dual is NOT going to be too happy over this one!!! Have you ever been bitten or gotten the hairs on it's abdomen shot at you? I've heard it is not very pleasant!

OH NO!!! The tarantula pic is dead!!!
When we first get her, she was a few months old so she was pretty small and she was trying to climb behind my computer so I grabbed her one hand around her body and for some stupid reason I grabbed her tail too. So she dropped her tail (Autonomy- a natural defense mechanism). My daughter started crying, mommy what did you do to her tail. So I'm standing their shocked Iggy in one hand and wriggling tail in the other.
Ball Pythons are a pain, your best bet is to go with a Corn snake or a Milk snake, there are also several really beautiful Rat snakes you could choose from as well. Colubrids are excellent beginner snakes. And most don't require much space.
I don't handle that thing, it's my husbands. And he uses leather gloves when handling.

I'm sorry that happened!! Thankfully they do grow back! It is freaky how the tail will still move. I have accidentally broken so many Blue Belly's tails off. I always feel so fucking bad. I accidentially did it to my Blue Belly Sonic when I was a little kid. I was sooo sad!!!

Corn snakes, Milk snakes, and Rat snakes are really cool. Corns are sort of a pain in the ass with how good of escape artists they are. Every one I have ever know has escaped at least once, usually many more than 1 time! In preschool we had a Corn snake named Cornelius who escaped, went into the finch cage, ate the finch's, then proceeded to hide in the cabinets for a few weeks.
OMG that's horrible! They do have enclosures with locking lids. You just have to remember to latch them.
