My New Iguana

[pixiefrogman]

Kevin: Yea, I'll most likely be purchasing a giant cage by the time he's a year old. The reason I bought this cage was because someone sold it to me for $25, I had to buy it. And yea I do and I will continue to take him out of his cage. When he gets older I'll let him roam my room, and part of my house. But I have to be careful, my mom has 4 small dogs. Thanks for the tips!

Ebony: Thanks!

Sorry I just worry alot about iguanas. ^^;;; You know iguanas are pretty much THE hardest reptilian to keep THRIVING, there is a difference between alive and thriving. But you seem to be doing good. Also I forgot you can feed it cauliflower, dandelions, I heard brocolli idk about that though. You just need to give it a wide veggie diet and some protein. As for the cage, nice find. If its just like 5inches or so then yeah thats too small for a large cage. Oh remember to go for mercury vapor lights. Remember that an iguanas skin is darker and thicker so they need lots of radiation. Just make sure you look em up. Theres a guide I think the site is uvguide.uk.co or something like that? you may have to do more research on that. Ill try finding it later.
Good luck! and post some pictures!!!!!!

Yea, when its a full grown adult aka 6ft long. You need atleast 6 lights on top of the basking area, for it to fully sun itself. no kidding
