In a normal food chain, iguana acts a second level consumer.
The chain will be as follows:
Grass --> Insects --> Iguana --> Birds
Iguanas need a variety in there diet which includes, Collard greens, escarole, dandelion greens, water cress, Mustard greens, endive, turnip greens, and Kale on an occasion. Kale is not to be feed daily it is hard for them to digest. That is the leafy part of the diet which should make up at least 65% of there diet. Fruits (10%) can include, figs (raw or dried), blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, mango's, melon, papaya, banana's, and apple. But again fruits should only make up 5-10% of there diet. You can also feed them raw green beans, parsnips, sweet potato, zucchini, yellow squash, okra (not much of this), snow peas, carrots, asparagus and red peppers (not much of these either, but they love the color red and it is a taste enhancer) On occasion you can give whole grains as a treat. Please do you research before you own an iguana they get very large and require daily maintenance. There are many homeless ones out there due to neglect so please choose you pets wisely!
The iguana height is 5' 7½" (1.71 m) from tail to head. This is the average but some may vary.
They live in bamboo forests and taste like chicken.
none...I dont believe iguanas eat any meat...my iguana doesnt...I believe they are strict herbivores....really vegetarians too...because they eat flowers and squash and such
It's up to you however they both have their pros and cons.
First off let me say that you cannot tell whether you have a male or female iguana until they have reached sexual maturity which does not depend on age but on their snout-to-vent length. A sexually mature iguana's snout-to-vent length is about 10 inches.
Females will lays eggs regardless of whether or not they have had a male companion and sometimes this can result in egg binding if the female is not given a moist box to lay her eggs in. If anything goes wrong with the eggs inside of her then that could result in huge veterinary bills or even her death.
Males won't have that problem but they tend to become VERY VERY aggressive during breeding season. Regardless of whether or not they are tame during regular parts of the year they can become monster from hell in breeding season, biting, whipping, which can result in stitches for you.
So you can decide which you prefer
Iguanas are herbivores. They should be fed a daily diet of nothing but vegetables and fruit. A good site for a list of foods to give your iguana and anything else involving its care can be found at http://anaspid.org
No. This may sound convenient, but would be bad for both pets and you.
First: Gliders taste everything in their environment. Iguana dung often carries salmonella. Salmonella poisoning can easily kill your gliders or make them very sick. Now you have an expensive vet visit and/or a dead pet.
Second: Iguana bites are serious and likely to carry infectious bacteria. An infected bite wound on a glider could cripple or kill it. Any bite wound will cost you an emergency vet visit and possibly a dead pet.
Third: Cold-blooded ground-dwelling lizards have very little in common with warm-blooded arboreal marsupials. Gliders need large cages with bars (like bird cages) for jumping and climbing. Such cages have a wire mesh floor that would not be good for iguanas, even with paper on top. Gliders make a mess with food and scat on the cage floor, right where your iguana walks.
You are not doing yourself a convenience by trying to put both animals in the same habitat. Please don't try it.
Some differences between alligators and sharks are:
i think you ride on the left, going with the traffic, the opposite to walking but the same as cycling.
yes, even though they don't change colors their scales blend with the rain forest perfectly.
They eat bugs and so that the bug population won't get to big.
someone please give the right answer! (from different answerer) Okay, whoever answered above was a total loon. What kind of answer is that? The average life span of an iguana is thirteen years, but extensive care gets them to live for around twenty.
Chicken-of-the-Jungle, a land-locked cousin to the Blue-fin tuna, but tastier, that -- wait for it -- really tastes like chicken. Like chicken on a stick, or chicken barely alive, constrained to a pole with a sharp rope, as sharp as the cross hanging from a defrocked sexual predator. Do iguanas live at Penn State?
no sorry i tested it out on my baby iguana they just move there head no sorry i tested it out on my baby iguana they just move there head
Yes, Cherries are a good option for your Iguana's fruit source. Just remember...Iguanas should only have fruit as 10-15% of their daily diet...leafy greens (not lettuce) equal 50-55%...and vegetables 30-35%. Iguana's like to have a variety in their diet so try to mix things up often so your pet does not tire of his meals.
no. iguanas live in the tropicis and in the tropics there is no winter. if ur iguana has not responded to u i recommend a vet....desert iguanas do hibernate in the winter.
It was first domesticated up ur but and around the corner! :{
