Okay, so my wife just got her iguana back from her parents for the first time since we've been married and this thing needs to go. He is noisy, violent, and constantly wakes our baby girl up with all the noise he makes. He scratches my wife and whips me with his tail. Not to mention heating his cage is driving our electric bill through the roof.
Despite all of this, my wife refuses to get rid of him or give him back to her parents. She is a huge animal lover and a very emotional person, so I've tried to convince her of my side while trying to respect her feelings with absolutely no success. I've tried telling her about the electric bill and my fears that once our daughter becomes more mobile that the iguana will be as violent towards her as he is towards us. I could try the hard approach and demand that she gets rid of him, but that will just end with her bawling her eyes out and no closer to getting rid of the little demon. It's gotten so bad that I have seriously been considering ways I could kill him and make it look like a natural death.
So short of committing murder, is there any of you that could provide a little assistance in this matter? I need to convince my wife that this iguana has to go and go now.
