656 Questions
Are babies safe around iguanas?
No, iguanas can be carnivorous and have been known to eat some small mammals, such as babies.
Where does desert iguana get its food?
It depends on what desert lizard you are talking about. Most are insectivorous, meaning that they hunt insects for food. They generally forage for this food, and are attracted to its movement. Some large species, such as the Gila Monster, hunt larger prey, such as small rodents. That particular lizard is equipped with venom to kill its prey and keen senses to track it. Other lizards, including the bearded dragon, are omnivores and eat both insects and plant matter.
Can red iguanas eat nectarines?
Yes, red iguanas can eat nectarines in moderation. These fruits provide vitamins and hydration, but it’s important to remove the pit and ensure that the fruit is ripe and fresh. Always introduce new foods gradually and monitor for any adverse reactions. A balanced diet for iguanas should primarily consist of leafy greens and vegetables, with fruits like nectarines offered as occasional treats.
You have 2 leopard geckos and a desert iguana is it safe to keep the 3 together in a 29 g long tank?
No! not under any circumstances is that ok. First of all, logically consider this: Leopard Geckos are mainly from Pakistani deserts, and the Desert Iguana is from the American Southwest. Leopard geckos may be carriers of Middle Eastern diseases that they have adapted an immunity to, while the iguana may be susceptible, and vice-versa. This is just one reason why two species of different localities should never be put together, not to mention aggression issues. Plus, if you're keeping your iguana remotely decently, it should have AT LEAST a 40 gallon tank, a high powered (125 watts or more) mercury vapor bulb that emits UVB (not just UVA) like a Powersun. Leopard Geckos may be harmed by this level of UVB and should therefore have a separate tank from each other unless they are two females of the same size.
Why does newzealand not have land mammals iguanas land turtles and snakes?

The nodding of its head is typically a warning sign to you or other would be threats. It is a natural reaction when they are excited, agitated or trying to defend themselves or their turf. It is also used when they become sexually excited during mating as well. But I dont think you have anything to worry about there....

Why do iguania's have a third eye?
The third eye is an adaptation from prehistoric times. nobody is quite sure why they have it or why some lizards kept their third eyes while some species of lizards didn't. personally, I think they have it to better sense heat and movement from above, since they like to hangout in trees. but that's just my opinion :)
What part of the rainforest does the coatimundi live in?
The coatimundi primarily inhabits the tropical and subtropical rainforests of Central and South America. They are often found in areas with dense vegetation, but can also thrive in more open woodlands and even near human settlements. These adaptable mammals prefer regions with plenty of trees for climbing and foraging.
Why does an agama head turn blue?
The agama head turns blue when the shlong is too short to reach the first part of the moosie. This could result in phylemphobitus. This cuts off circulation to the head of the shlong making it blue.
