Is this a good light? šŸ¦Ž šŸ’”

My iguana enclosure is 2 feet x 2 feet x 4 feet tall. Iguana is a a baby. But would like a light setup that will last a while. Are these all in one bulbs good? Iā€™d much rather setup one bulb than have to pay for and setup multiple bulbs.

Q/A

Hello iguana enthusiasts, I have a few questions maybe I could get answers. I do have reptile and amphibian experience. That being said, I do understand iguanas are more than a ā€œpetā€ they are like a toddler and have their necessities. After a few months of research Iā€™m feeling ready to buy a yearling green iguana.

My questions being: ā€¢Between male and female, which is the recommended gender for newbie iguana owner? (Hearing from Yall) ā€¢Can iguanas and dogs coexist? ā€¢is it 100% true iguanas get a change of mood around breeding season? And ā€¢Can iguanas go from being sweet babies yet become territorial or mean as they age?

Curious

Been keeping a bearded dragon a while ago and Iā€™m not gonna get one anytime soon but how do you care for an iguana? Are they similar (other than size and humidity) to bearded dragons? They are big and live in jungles so it has to be humid but are their basking temps and diets similar? Just thinking about it because I love iguanas because they are so big and cool.

So many secrets

This new baby is such a gossip, is there any way to get him to stop yapping? I must have heard what every animal that comes to the window has said over a hundred times. Not to mention he continues on about the differences of greens and their taste.

I want to adopt an Iguana but I don't know how to take care of it

I want to build its cage outside my house but I live in south bay area at California and it's cold here at night, there is no snow but it's cold, and the air is dry. what can I do to keep it warm? And how to take care of it? Is the dry air is a bad thing?

Help me please

I have a fully grown green iguana that has been depressed lately. Can anyone help me out with the light essentials or maybe foods I could be feeding her. I think she needs a new cage because the zen habitat is a little too small for her

Vitamin K any idea how much is too much?

I have been drying and powdering some greens to prep for trying to make iguana kibble again and noticed I have a few of my greens are a bit high in vitamin k. Has anyone ever had an issue with hypervitaminosis K? Or any vitamin other than D? I'm not having any luck finding info on a problematic dose it might be high enough not to matter but just not finding any sources.
