This apartment dweller is four feet long and certainly weighs more than ten pounds. It is thriving, but it probably never tasted a hibiscus flower. It does, however, enjoy spinach souffle – served hot. Don’t laugh – one fine large specimen was donated to a zoo when it outgrew its home. The donor told the zoo curator that it had been eating – get this – mozzarella cheese and ice cream! Still another specimen was reported to eat anchovy pizza. This is not a chapter on diet, but the digression is intended to suggest that habits dictate iguana eating behavior, but the final results are liable to surprise you.
What goes in must come out, and here the iguana has habits which you can apply to train your pet to drop his leavings in the same place every time. First, your pet will probably want to defecate at about the same every day once his eating pattern and temperature are established. Second, if he is in water (or remembers that he had been in water in a certain place) this may trigger activity. Eventually, with some intelligent patience on your part, you should be able to train him to relieve himself once every day or two on a piece of dampened newspaper in the bottom of a dry bathtub. If your pet is always caged, you can concentrate on other problems, but lifetime caging presents another thing for you to think about – that is, exercise. Your pet should be able to walk, climb and flex his muscles.
Once you establish the territorial limits within which your pet is free to move, patterns will be established. If you give your pet the freedom of a room or several rooms, he will soon be at one place to sleep at night – dark and confining perhaps. He will defecate when he awakes, perhaps not every day, but in the same place however often. Perhaps he will choose a pad of newspaper which has been dampened on top. “Perhaps” is not the keyword, but it is not to be forgotten. What means a lot to one iguana might no mean as much to another individual – but let’s get on. He may expect to be fed at the same place; soon you will recognize his hunger signals. He may snort and create small sound from his nose as he discharges a small quantity of fluid from his nostrils. This fluid evaporates to leave salt-like crystals, but it is the act of snorting, in one example.
