Green Iguana (Iguana iguana)

Synonyms: ...
Stats: Adult Size: 4-6 feet
Temp: 80 F - 88 F
Cage: 5' by 6' minimum
Requirements: Very large cage, with plenty of room, and they would love a pond. These guys need quality UVB lights. Plenty of hefty decor appreciated.
Diet: These guys eat mixed veggies and fruits. Many pet stores feed them crickets, which is not what they should be eating.
Breeding: ...
Sociability: Do best singly. Most can become handleable if raised from hatchlings. Some stay aggressive.
Special Info: I never recommend these as a pet. I believe they get much too large for 90% of the people who purchase them. Their dietary needs are often met incorrectly and many end up with severe metabolic problems.
