Iguanas are wild animals and this is something that their owners should always remember. Even though they are very popular pets, they can still injure their owners if not properly handled, so it's important to keep that in mind always. Their price is reasonable, mostly because there are farm raised iguanas in all South America, and their health status is good as long as the conditions in the farms are good.
Iguanas are folivore reptiles, which means they are fed with leaves; they don't chew their food but swallow it, that is why the amount and size should be small. They are known not to be able to process complicated foods so do not try to give them “people” food. Veggies and greenery is needed, but in any case consult with a vet so as to know the exact amounts and kinds - feeding your iguana the right foods is critical to proper iguana care.
Iguanas are supposed to live in warm environments, because the warmth helps them in their digestion and overall well being. It is very important to provide them with the proper temperature and humidity, that is why there are heating devices specifically for iguanas. Their habitat has to be warm and also humid, so you need to adjust the quantity of water and heat.
The common green iguana has genetically morphed into a red and albino form, the pink iguana has been discovered and studied and to this day we do not know what other species may be discovered. The popularity of the Iguana will continue to grow in the years to come and I hope through this website you will be able to make an informed decision on owning and caring for an Iguana.
Iguanas can make phenomenal pets. While you won't be required to give them long walks outside and potty training will not be an issue that gets you out of bed at 3 a.m., nevertheless there is a host of other concerns pertaining specifically to caring for pet iguanas responsibly.

Indoor Housing
A juvenile iguana can reside in a 30-50 gallon aquarium, however, their rapid growth will cause them to outgrow this enclosure within a few months. Enclosures come in many different sizes, shapes, and styles and are made out of wood, glass, or plexiglass. The substrate should be easy to clean to help you out. Newspaper works well and is most cost efficient, however, artificial grass, indoor-outdoor carpeting, or linoleum are excellent choices as well. Avoid sand, soil, and bark, as these substrates can lead to obstruction or impaction if your pet ingests them. Shallow food and water dishes should be provided, and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected at least twice a week. It is also important to provide your iguana with climbing materials such as branches, pieces of bark, rocks, broad limbs, or drift wood.
Water
Iguanas need water to survive and should have it readily available. Iguanas obtain most of their water intake through the plant matter they consume, however, some iguanas enjoy drinking out of water dishes, or lapping water off leaves or wood in the cage. Misting your iguana and it’s environment daily will help keep it hydrated and provide it water droplets to drink. Some iguanas who are provided water dishes may train themselves to eliminate in their water. Their dishes need to be regularly and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent internal bacterial infections.
Bathing your iguana is another good way for your friend to obtain water, and is a good habit to get your lizard use to. Bathing should be offered in shallow, lukewarm water, 2-3 times weekly. Always supervise your iguana to prevent any accidents. Remember, not all iguanas enjoy bath time. Some will swim around and enjoy it, others will panic.
Outdoor Sunlight
Iguanas need to be provided with exposure to natural sunlight for at least 5-10 hours per week. When possible, iguanas should spend daylight hours outside in a sunny location. When choosing an outdoor cage for your pet, a couple of things should be kept in mind. No wild animals, or cats or dogs, should be able to break into the cage, and your pet should not be able to escape. A wire mesh cage with a sturdy frame works well. Glass should be avoided at all costs as the glass can develop lethal temperatures even on cool days. Of course, don’t forget to provide food and water to your little friend in it’s outdoor enclosure.
