Sounds like you are a beginner with reptiles if I am right, so maybe give the Green Anacondas a miss and leave these giant reptiles for the zoos to keep.
 
I, too wanted a rhino iguana for a very long time. They are highly impressive lizards. I decided against it when I read up on them. They need as much space as any lizard I've heard of save komodos or big salvator monitors. You would be looking at a 12ftx12ft enclosure. Preferably it would be an outdoor one as well, seeing that they benefit from natural sunlight. Also, they are extremely territorial and capable of injuring a keeper.

If I had the room to house a cyclura species, I'd get a cuban iguana. I hear they calm down very well.
 
I'll let you know what I keep just for the heck of it. I have one spiny-tailed monitor that I've kept for six years. I have a two-year-old Egyptian uromastyx/mastigure that's growing like a weed and sports a nasty temper. My prize charge is a 10 month old blue tegu. It's a great lizard. It doesn't mind being handled and has outgrown all of his clutchmates by a lot. Tegus are awesome lizards, hardy and a joy to keep.
 
Thanks for the info...

I have also been looking at the tegu species.Very cool animals,sadly I can't afford any more animals for now.
 
By Cuban False Chameleons do you mean Cuban Knight Anoles? Cuban Knights are awesome. I would love to get some. Even though you can't handle them much they are still awesome lizards.

Mini Potte Bellied pigs are cool. They aren't easy though. I remember we were going to get one and I am pretty sure the males can get aggressive and need to have their tusks trimmed. Do you have enough space for them outside?
 
Nope,although Cuban Knights are awesome,I want a Cuban FALSE Anole.They look like a chameleon.Although,probably not 5 of them because they cause 800 dollars :PP

I don't now,but when I move out I definatly will.
