Not Growing 4 some reason My Iguana hasn't been growing since i've bought her,which was about 8 months ago.
My Iguana Looks diffrent? My Iguana has a brown head for some reason i dunno what its from but we do just have a 75 gallon tank with a box in it so she can go in....
What should i feed my iguana? What should my iguana eat other than lettuce because i read that you should feed them diffrent stuff but i tried bannans and green-beans and everything but she just wont eat it ...and the bannas dry up in one day from my heat lamp...so what should i feed her?
Heating my iguana? My iguana has a heat lamp heating pad and heating rock is that too much or do i need more?
Heat rocks? my iguana is 8 months old is it alright 4 her to use a little heating pad...shes still not very big yet?
RE: Heat rocks? As long as your using good lighting to provide decent basking spots, you should be good... Make sure the basking spot is between 85-95 F. You also need a temperature gradient within your tank. How big is the tank your housing him in now?
RE: Heating my iguana? I would personally lose the heat rock... they're not recommended for use in keeping reptiles. They can develop hot spots and burn your iguana. Iguanas tend to not move when they are overheated, causing them to get very sick. Long story short, lose the hot rock.
RE: Heating my iguana? DON'T USE THE HEAT ROCK!! A hot rock will burn you're ig in no time. A heat lamp and heating pad is good though
heating As everyone will tell you throw the heat rock away, now the temp issue. Cant say whether the lamp is enough or not enough not knowing what the enclosure temps are. I personally use electronic /digital thermometers as well as thermostats for regulating the heat. Do you know your temps?
Sugar in water? This kid at my school told me that he has a big iggy and that he puts a tsp of water into his iggy's water bowl...has any1 else heard anything about this....and how will it effect ur iggy?
RE: What should i feed my iguana? put the food on the cool side of the tank. it will take time for it to try it out. look in the care sheet section of this site. you should know all of this in advance of owning a reptile. just lettuce isnt good. regular salad lettuce dosent have any nutritional value. you should try romain collards and mustard greens, a variety is best. you have to give her time, try hand feeding
RE: Not Growing 4 some reason are you feeding her right? a variety what about the supplements? the calcium and vit suplements are needed. heating? what about your cage? substrate? lighting? size? i think in another thread you said 30 gallon... WAY TOO SMALL!!!! bathing? is she impacted, have you taken her to a vet for her first exam? a fecal? anything?
RE: heating you need to know your temps... in the cage, have a thermal gradient, and aboce all have a basking spot. heat pads dont do much for iggys i know
RE: My Iguana Looks diffrent? is she shedding right? we need more details than just what the size of the aquarium... and a box. we need to know all about your setup, lighting and feeding habits
RE: Heat rocks? how big does the tank need to be she's only 14 inches ...and very small stomach shes still like a baby
