Young animals should be fed twice daily and adults can be reduced to one daily feeding. Make sure food is of the correct consistency, that is, finely chop all foods for young animals. Around 2 ounces (57 g) of finely chopped vegetable material should suffice for a baby iguana. If your animal finishes all its food quickly, increase the quantity, but if it leaves most of its food untouched, reduce the amount. If the iguana is growing and putting on weight, you have got the quantity right. A good rule of thumb is to feed your iguana as much as it can eat in an hour and remove any uneaten items. Feed your iguana as much as it can eat within an hour.

Like people, iguanas are all different. Some are outgoing and enjoy the company of humans, others do not. There is, unfortunately, no simple way to predict how an iguana will turn out, but it is better to avoid any babies that appear nervous.
Males are generally more aggressive than females, but males can still make excellent pets. Iguanas are generally not aggressive toward humans, but may occasionally display aggression toward each other.

Young iguanas may eat some insects, but adults are generally totally herbivorous. Live insects, such as crickets and mealworms, are readily available from all pet stores that sell reptiles (and many that don’t), and all of these are suitable for young iguanas. In the United Kingdom, locusts are also available.
Not all baby iguanas will eat insects, however, and they will thrive if fed exclusively on vegetable matter. The key to a good diet is variety, and it is very important not to let your iguana become fixated with one food item.

Correct feeding is probably the most important aspect of keeping your iguana in good health, and is also the area in which most problems occur. Iguanas are herbivorous, that is, they eat plants; but they will also devour insects and small rodents in the wild.

Claws need to be trimmed regularly for the comfort of the owner as well as the reptile. This should be carried out on a regular basis and will require assistance. One person must hold the iguana firmly, while the other carries out the claw-trimming.
Clean the areas first, using a disinfectant designed for reptiles, then use sharp nail clippers to remove the end of the claw. Avoid cutting claws too short because you may cut into the blood vessels in the nail, which could lead to infection. Always ask advice from your pet store or veterinarian if in doubt.

Iguanas, like all reptiles, periodically shed their skins as they grow. Snakes do this in one piece, but iguana skin flakes off in patches. Occasionally, skin does not come away properly, particularly on the toes, and any adhering pieces need to be removed. This is best done by spraying the affected area with lukewarm water. Your iguana will appreciate being sprayed with water, particularly when it is shedding its skin.

In warmer parts of the United States and southern Europe, iguanas can be kept outside for a large part of the time. Even in colder countries, like England, iguanas enjoy being able to get outside and bask in natural sunlight on warm days. A sturdy, aviary-like structure with a wooden frame and wire mesh panels is probably the best and easiest to construct. The use of glass in outdoor enclosures should be restricted to small areas only, to prevent overheating or burning.

As your iguana grows, it will be necessary to provide a much larger cage. The general rule is that the cage should be at least one-and-a-half times the body length of the animal in length, two-thirds the length in width, and the same height as the length of the animal. Thus, for a 5-foot (1.5 m) animal (easily attained in very few years) the cage would need to be 7 1/2 feet (2.3 m) long, 3 1/2 feet (1.1 m) wide and 5 feet (1.5 m) high. Such a cage will need to be specially constructed, because a few pet stores can provide a ready-built enclosure of such dimensions. The basic design would be a wooden box with sliding glass doors at the front.
Another option is to turn an entire room into an iguana enclosure, which is particularly suitable for breeding groups. Another way of providing housing is to utilize an alcove or storage area, blocking it in and installing glass doors for access. You could also use an old wardrobe or cupboard by removing existing doors and replacing them with glass.
