The Iguana part 2

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010


The Galapagos land Iguana, Conolophus subcristatus, is frequently seen in zoos but rarely in private collections. It is protected by law.

It weighs twenty-two pounds. There is a subspecies, A.c. venustissimus, found only on Hood Island. It is only 30 inches maximum length and brightly colored, but nevertheless is valueless as a captive pet.

CONOLOPHUS – One species, the Galapagos land iguana, Conolophus subcristatus. It is a vegetarian, eating shoots, bark, flowers, fruits, cactus pads and grasshoppers. With a row of spines down the back, this is a powerful looking lizard; however, it is easy to tame. It needs warmth – say 80 to 90 degrees F. It is surely used to salty food and may actually relish it. Four feet long.

Defensive Mechanisms of Iganuas

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

If their pets bolt out an unlocked door they may quickly scale the nearest tree , never to be found again , and to freeze in colder climates and seasons.
