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. |
