Cage Decoration

This is really a matter of personal choice, but certain conditions must be provided. At least one tree branch is needed for the animal to climb and bask on, and it is important that this branch is large enough for the iguana. The branch should be fitted diagonally, from one side of the cage to the other, and should slope from the bottom to the top. It must be firmly secured so that it cannot fall and injure the iguana.

The floor of the cage needs to be covered with some form of substrate. You can use bark chips, wood chips, gravel, specially designed cage carpets, or simply old newspaper. Whatever you choose to use, it is important that the substrate is regularly cleaned or replaced.

The common iguana’s scientific name is iguana iguana, and it is one of eight different species that comprise the family Iguanidae.

Introducing Iguanas

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010


Up to two-thirds of an iguana’s length is taken up by the tail, which, interestingly, can be shed as a defensive mechanism if the iguana is attacked. This behavior is rarely seen in captivity, but care should be taken with young iguanas because they may react like this if grabbed by the tail. The tail, incidentally, does grow back, but will never be as attractive as the original.

The green or common iguana is a reptile and therefore is considered cold-blooded. The proper term for this is ectothermic, which means the animal derives its body heat from its surroundings, rather than producing heat internally as mammals do. This makes reptiles very efficient because they do not have to waste energy producing heat. Much of the food eaten by mammals goes into producing the energy.

Food

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010


The iguana is smart. He selects his food to provide a balanced diet. If this is what you believe – great!  The iguana is stupid, but providentially he is endowed with a very tolerant digestive system. Perhaps this is what you believe – great!

Here are a few facts about your iguana which might be useful regardless of which statement you believe. Young iguanas in the wild are known to eat insects, small animals, birds, other reptiles, land snails, fruit, vegetables, flowers and buds. Adult wild iguanas have been found with some animal food in their stomachs. Other adults have been known to thrive in the wild on a 100% vegetarian diet.

Iguanas are rarely seen to drink, but they do like to bathe and swim and soak; perhaps they do drink or absorb moisture through their skin. The Galapagos land iguana eats or licks plants wet with dew and also seems to drink sea water.

Iguanas consume some gravel which they use in their alimentary canals to aid in breaking up tough vegetable matter. One fine specimen of common iguana contributed to the Staten Island Zoo in New York was reported to have thrived on mozzarella cheese and ice cream. At the zoo it thrived on the regular iguana diet.

Another, a pet in Washington, D.C., ate vegetables for twelve years and is thriving. This specimen has a special fondness for frozen spinach souffle, served piping hot! He is known to drink water from time to time. His owner believes that the preference for vegetables over fruit may have been acquired since vegetables were all he got to eat when he was a baby twelve years ago.
