Iguanas are becoming popular pets. They require little maintenance and actually enjoy human attention. Iguanas can live as long as 15 years and reach 7 feet in length! What to Look For - Eyes open, clear, and bright
- No nasal discharge
- No abnormal skin discolorations
- Thock tail
- Pelvic bone not protruding
- Light-green belly.
Care and Maintenance - You should invest in a very large cage with a perch.
- Iguanas need proper diet and environment. They should never eat dog food or cat food -- it's too high in protein. Ask your veterinarian for a specific diet plan.
- Position basking lights over only part of the cage; otherwise the iguana may get too hot.
- Handling your iguana daily will help make him calm.
