I am looking for instructions to take care of an iguana2007-11-24 2:00:47

My 14 year old son took on the task of taking care of an iguana named Iggy. He has since lost interest in him. I have decided that since I like Iggy that I would take care of him. He is still young, but I am concerned with his color. he is a dark green, almost brown. I was told that there were 2 types of light that he needed, but I am concerned with the heat in the tank. Any information on feeding, and care are needed, and greatly appreciated. Thanks, Driver

You absolutely have to get a heat rock for him. We had two iguanas, and the first one died and I took him to the vet and he said it was cuz I didn't have a heat rock in his tank. The pet store also confirmed this when I went to buy my 2nd one. They said iguanas cannot digest their food properly without a heat source, like a heat rock and eventually they will die. It's been so long ago that we had our iguanas I can't remember anything else, but remember the heat rock!

OK i have owned raised and rescued iguanas heat rocks aren't the best thing cause the iguana can get badly burned use a heat light you need a UV light a heat lamp and a basking light they eat Iggy food also collard greens mustard greens etc they love it turnip greens too apples bananas they also like green beans fresh whatever you do NEVER NEVER FEED A IGUANA LETTUCE OF ANY KIND LETTUCE IS NOT GOOD FOR THEM WILL BIND UP THERE STOMACH AND WILL KILL THEM SO DON'T DO IT
