Pet Iguana

This Green Iguana is held captive as a pet, though it is an exotic species in Florida.

While it isn't the main picture in the iguana page or the green iguana page but the picture is highly detailed. Not only could you count the scales on the iguana when zoomed in, you can also get a good look at its habitat.

• I doubt this would pass FPC given how much the cage obscures the iguana. It is a nicely detailed picture though. Tomdobb (talk) 16:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• I think this is a good picture. It's very detailed and it adds to the iguana page. Preceding unsigned comment left by P h o e b e™ 23:44, 26 March 2008
• Thank you for your nomination. The focus on the iguana is quite good given the conditions this has been taken in, and detail is quite good. Nonetheless, this would unfortunately stand no chance at FPC due to the overwhelming presence of the cage, especially given that it obscures the animal. General composition is actually not ideal. Given that this is a pet, is there no way of getting a photo of it outside the cage?
  Additionally, for FPC there is usually a need for good encyclopaedic value and significant contribution to articles. In general, when an image is used only in an image gallery (or galleries), as this is, that would not be regarded as a 'significant contribution'.
  For an idea of the standard of animal related FPCs see Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Animals. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. --jjron (talk) 09:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
