hi, so this is my iguana rhino and he gets almost black and hasn’t been feeling well and I’m not talking about like the reptile heating pads, but do y’all think it would be OK if you had like the dog or cat heating pads that have like the temperature monitor things on them or possibly a blanket because he loves blankets maybe like a heated blanket or something would that be OK? Please just let me know. I just bought some more heat admitters that don’t have light to try and warm him up but if all else fails, do you think that would be OK, I would never put a reptile mat on him, but I’m just wondering if like a heated blanket or like the cat bed heated mats would be OK thank you so much. Have a lovely day guys.
got my green iguana he likes carrots , he lives 3 days at my place got a UV lamps but it stopped working and tomorrow im gonna buy new ( have one setted up in front of glass thats a heating lamp ) Questions how do I keep humidity high in the enclosure? just turn on heating lamp and spray some water on the ground? and everywhere else ? temperatures is OK but humidity is low ( I have termometer that shows both )
trying to feed the buddy he is eating ok how many grams letsnsay of chopped carrots does he need? yesterday he eated a banana and he looked happy
my little fella kinda scared of everything, trying to help him with everything and keep him a company, he stares at me and watches other people in the room how do get a betted bond with my buddy?
any suggestions what might he need more ? like lets say how do you feed it? at what time and how.many grams? or just let it eat the carrot or other fruits till he stoppes? I gaved him some lettuce and some choppee carrots
what veggies and or fruits I could give to this little fellar?
I'm looking for a complete morph guide for green iguanas. I've been reseachimg for over a week and some results contradict others. Can anyone direct me to a link with a complete/comprehensive morph list?
ok for starters it’s a baby I don’t have it in a very big enclosure but I plan asap to get a bigger cage right now it’s in a plastic terrarium with coconut substrate and it’s food and water bowl and it’s next to a heater ik this sounds ugly and harsh but it’s what I can do for right now
My iguana got a hold of a fucking peace lilly. He only ate half a leaf. I know I shouldn't have had it with pets in the house, but it was a gift from when my mother died last April and I just hadn't been able to toss it yet. He likes to eat in the kitchen. I just fed him, but got distracted and he had climbed up on the table where the plant was. He's never done that before.
There are no emergency vets here, and no vets that see reptiles, period. Going to a vet is not an option and I don't know what to do. I looked it up and apparently there is specific amount that is known to be fatal. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what happened? He's a big guy, and in his late teens.
I have the Zoo med reptile calcium for Rumble. The back of the label says to give it to him once a week, but I was wondering if he's getting enough calcium that way? Does anyone else use that kind of calcium powder and if so how much do you all give them a week?
I feed this girl a LOT. She’s a pig! No matter how much I feed her, she still goes after the plastic plants inside her enclosure. I’ve found bite marks in them, so I’ve taken them out… What other forms of coverage can I offer her that she won’t eat?
Seems like people are conflicted whether or not to give calcium with every meal or 3-4 times a week. Which one is correct in the end?
Hey all! I have some Casquehead iguanas and was thinking of putting something else in with them, I did think something like sun beetles but I’m assuming the iguanas would just eat them? Anyone got any other ideas? :)
Obviously safety for the iguanas goes without saying!!
Just had a thought - I don't spray my iguana when he's cold (I usually just put him in the tub), but since he's cold blooded, I wonder if this is actually even an issue. Don't we humans only get cold from room temperature water because our body temperature is 98 degrees? If my iguana is like 65 degrees and so is the water, wouldn't it make no difference to his level of comfort? Apologies if this sounds idiotic, I just know someone must have an answer.
I live in south florida so it’s a normal occurrence to have many iguanas living in our yard. However this lil buddy keeps coming onto our patio to hang out and i’ve never seen an iguana look dark like that. Upon closer look, i noticed part of his tail is missing and his spikes are split up. Is he a sick guy or is he just really old?
Tiny being cute , he needs a snack though !
I’m pressing on it a little bit in the photo so it’s easier to see (he doesn’t seem to mind it being touched) but I’m not sure where this came from? I just noticed it today and I’m just wondering if anybody here knows any possible causes. He has had an infection in his cheek so I’m wondering if this could somehow be related? The lump is soft and a little squishy.
I recently got one green iguana, and I really want a blue one aswell, could I keep them together? the green one is almost a year old and the blue one would be very young too.. I dont know the genders..
