How did you take your iguana?? Like what steps did you take to get him/her so calm and used to you?

[jeffevens13]

@hsa561 i got her so calm by hand feeding her alot. i would make her come to me for her food to the point where i would open the cage and regardless of if i had food or not she would run over to me and climb up my legs. just never force an iguana to do something it doesnt want to do because that will just make it hate you.

If you use the calcium do you still need a UVB light?

[jeffevens13]

yes =]

[4Aln]

yes uvb lights helps your iguana produce D3 D3 is need to aborb the calcium in your reptile

hey, did u ger rid of that? and why? any suggestion?shoul i buy one? are they trouble?

[jeffevens13]

i dont have her anymore because i just wanted to focus on my snake breeding projects. as for if you should buy one, thats up to you. they arent really trouble they are just kinda a hassle to care for and when it comes to handling them they dont really like it at all they would much rather just do their own thing and have you leave them alone. with hand feeding you can get them to come to you and let you touch them but if your looking for a lap dog then i would not recommend one.

do you mix both of the vitamins on his food?

[jeffevens13]

yep! =]

Hey menhow many times u feed ur iguana a day? Does he regularly consumes that plate full off food? coz mine sometimes only consumes 1/2 or somtimes 1/4 of the plate a day.. I'm worried..

[jeffevens13]

i feed my iguana i time a day and yes she almost always eats all the food on the plate. what do you feed your iguana and do you leave the plate of food in he's cage all day? because my igunana dos not eat it all at once she will eat some in the morning then she will go back through out the day and finish it.

[jamboymadera]

thanks for the reply..well since collard green, dandeleon, turnip green is not available here (don't know why & peole here havnt even heard bout it- "sucks" - im from the philippines by the way), i only feed him mustard green,squash, bellpepper, green beens, okra & some grapes.Those calcium supplmnt and vit for iguana is not also available here.. Ok next tym i'll just leave the plate on his cage in that case for the whole day..thanks men!
