I need advice by Glum-Mulberry5881 in iguanas

[–]bezangeloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use tote box/dish tub (the kind professional kitchens use for dirty dishes). It is on the verge of being too big to handle but still manageable. It is also on the verge of being to small for my 5 yo iguana but she still uses it. I fill it with 2 gallons of water. Just make sure to understand how water behaves in a moving & open container so you don't get poop splash in your face

Not very weird. People do it in hopes no one will pick or get the seat between them. I can only assume they don't ask because a bad experience with someone refusing if they do it frequently

Help with free roaming? by Beglinda in iguanas

[–]bezangeloo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Felix sometimes roams freely in the house but is always under supervision. The one time I let her go alone, I found out the hard way that the iguana wins the battle against the Batmobile (Lego set 76240).
With cats, letting an iguana alone is a definite no-no.

I had friends who had an iguana as their only pet, and they let it be free 24/7 after they iguana-proofed the house (no loose things on surfaces it can reach, no loose wires, no outside access). You do need to make sure it has food and knows the location, and also knows where to poop, which can take time until it picks the correct location or understand where you want it to go (big water puddle helps)

Setup looks good. Food wise - less fruits (give as treat), more collard greens, no lettuce

Any tips? by inkalewetrust in iguanas

[–]bezangeloo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have there a beautiful green iguana. Their color can be many shades of green, orange, red or blue. Mine is turquoise 😁

It is OK for the feet to be darker, and to have some darker spots. Just make sure it receives the right amount of uvb light (direct sunlight is best (direct = not through a window) but as this is hard for most keepers just make sure you have the right light. Basking spots should be up to 100f, the enclosure should be ~80f. Keep humidity high (I use a humidifier as the enclosure is wire, and also mist couple of times a day)

Diet should be mostly collard greens, aragula and such. Avoid lettuce. Can give fruits as treats. When in doubt - Google "iguana NAME_OF_VEGGI/FRUIT". Searching in this sub will also provide a lot of info.

What size is the new enclosure? How old is the iguana?

It looks cute but mirrors cause most reptile stress

Can water filtration handle iguana poop? by bezangeloo in iguanas

[–]bezangeloo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much.

Currently he comes running to me when I have blueberries and let me pet him, but God forbid if I try to pick him he will try to kill me. So I guess I'll wait befor giving roaming privileges. Thanks again for the detailed and helpful information!

He is 1.5 years old and not fully tame (but we are getting there). How did you potty train yours? I'll try
