    Default Im thinking about getting an iguana...

    I had about 5 of them when I was little, but that was years ago, and my mom helped me take care of them. I know they can be picked up for pretty cheap, and the setup for them will cost alot more than the iguana itself. I know that they need a heat lamp in the cage, and a limb about a foot under it, with a cooler side and fresh water. I think we had a heater under the cage too. As far as food, I think he ate yellow squash and green beans with a calcium powder on it.

    I plan on keeping it in atleast a 20 gal long tank until it gets too big for that, and by then I should have a nice big cage built.

    Anyone else that owns or has owned them know of stuff I also need to know? I know Im missing some stuff, but it should all come back once I get it. Ill probably also have to get a few space heaters for the room that Ill be keeping him in, because we turn the heater off when we arent home.

    I had one when I was little...the fucker whipped me with his tail and left a welt for like a week across my face. But eventually the tension between reptile and canine grew too fierce and my dog ate the poor bastard.

    This is pretty much my experience.

    We fed it heads of lettuce. Kept it warm. The thing hissed and bit and generally wasn't pleasant.

    Reptiles cannot feel love.

    Just a reminder.

    He probably hated you because you fed him lettuce. That stuff has zero nutritional value. Im surprised he didnt die.

    I only had one that was mean. It all depends on how much care you show them when they are young. If you never mess with them they will grow up mean.

    I don't know. But I was at PetCo getting some kitty litter for my own usemy kitty, and they had some iguanas. When I came to the cage, the one iguana propped himself up to get a better look by putting his foot right on top of another iguana's eye. Both of them just stood frozen like that. It was pretty funny.

    Reptiles are so stupid that they can be pretty amusing sometimes.

    Get one from a reputable iguana rescue. They should be able to give you whatever husbandry information you need.

    I went and got one today. The iguana was like $30 but I ended up spending somewhere around $200 for the whole setup. I tried to pick a female, because all teh males Ive had always get too aggressive when they get older, but Im not 100% sure its a female. Now I just need to think of a name. Im thinking Lucy maybe.
