Default Re: Iguana Info?

Iguanas are a relatively 'easy' reptile, altho I find reptiles wanting in the pet department.

While they are cute when small, they quickly become large, and hostile. Their claws are all but impossible to keep at less than dagger sharp, and their tails can become lethal weapons. They also can grow to about 5 feet in length. Some stay 'relatively' nice...meaning they won't whip you with their tails while you get them out of the cage, but still won't sit with you etc.

Diet...fresh fruit and veggies....EVERY DAY coated with calcium powder or thier jaws can become deformed along with a whole host of other calcium deficient issues.

They need heat rock and lamp, LARGE cage/tank (they will eventually outgrow most tanks and need a cage) The one person I know who has kept one, has it in a cage that is about 6 feet by 6 feet by 3 feet.

Hope this helps!
