neutral  María Isabel Estévez (maisa): Hay personas que tienen iguanas como mascotas o animales de compañía.

  -> any animal that is made a pet is considered domestic or domesticated. Domestic="Of or pertaining to the household or family" (Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 5th ed.). So an iguana, if it is a pet, is domesticated.
