    I was wondering what would be the ideal substrate for iguanas
    Tile
    Reptile carpet
    Keepers Choice?
    Does it make a big difference depending on the substrate?
    If it does i want to be prepared
    Any feedback will be greattllyyy appreciated :)

    no bark or wood substrate, they can ingest it and impaction will occur. can lead to some problems and just not the best idea.
    you might wantto get a reptile green carpet or something along those lines, that is what i use for mine and it has worked great. it also keeps the place a lot cleaner!!
    hope this helps at all!! good luck!! :D

    Thanks for the reply! But i didnt get an iguana :) Hopefully over the next few years i will be getting an iguana, i love them so much, we used to have one, lived till 17, she was a mean girl for the first year, but we evnentually tamed her perfect, she had almost free roam of the house, sadly she died from a type of skin cancer =/ But i do wish to get another in the future, im going to beg my parents to get me one(Im only 14) On my birthday, i really hope they give in :)
    Thanks for the reply though, i appreciate it :(
    Thanks,
    Anthony
