on her webcam by clicking here.

to provide a detailed care sheet here, I have chosen to simply

Please do some detailed reading BEFORE getting your pet iguana.
I have devoted an
entire room to my iggy. She has a cage that was used early in
her life, but when she outgrew it we decided to move all her
heating and lighting equipment to an area above the cage to
allow her to perch on top of it. She has a ceramic heating element
directly above her, which is attached to a thermostat located
on the end of the cage. I keep this area of her cage around
95F for a basking spot. This is also were her UV lighting is
located, since she spends most of her time at this end of the
cage. The temperature of the rest of the room stays around 85F.
She is potty trained, she goes outside quite often when the
temps allow and gets a "bath" in her own tub when
it's too chilly outside. This bath also helps to hydrate her
in the colder months as it can get very dry in east TN during
the winters. |
