Are iguanas indigenous to New Zealand?

They don't naturally occur in New Zealand and from what I can tell theyve been banned from being imported to New Zealand and Australia. I found this on a site:

"Their import is banned in Australia and New Zealand where the climate is warm and dry in parts - perfect for golden hamsters!" They think they will become a pest, which has happened in other countries, as they would probably thrive in these conditions

What measures can one take to protect the environment?

Protection of Wild Life and their plantations (aka Habitats) , reservation of jungles , using environmentally friendly renewable energy and nuclear power stations.

This answer is three-pronged. Earth has always, in the past, been able to provide Sustenance for us. NOW IT IS OUR TURN to return the Favor.

To protect Earth's environment, as in our modern era, we must put back - with control of Nitrogen & Phosphorus fertilizers - all that we have removed.

Conversely, to protect Atmosphere's environment - mostly, but by no means exclusively, in terms of CO2 - we must remove all, and more, of what we have put in.

Protection of the Ocean's environment is far more critical due to the difficulty imposed because It's health depends upon BOTH of the above.

The protection of wild life and plantation in the desert areas is vital due to lack of water. Salt-ish water is available at some of the places that could be used for plantation of plants like saliconia or plants that grow near the occasions or some of the existing bushes or plants can be conserved. Drinking water for wild life is not available and no arrangements are visible for conversion of salt-ish water into drinkable water for wild life. The rain water or flood water could be collected in suitable pools. Some research about Arizona desert was mentioned.

Salt-ish water fish is essential as a feed for many birds but no such efforts are made in the desert areas. There is no limit on hunting of animals in many parts of the world or laws are not obeyed. The wild life is safe nowhere due to increasing population. A strategy at UNO level is required for protection of wild life and plantation

What if we did not have human rights?

well i don't understand completely what this means however i will try... This is just what i think not what i know for sure. If not one person had human rights there would be no authority because no one would be the boss of anyone because none of us would have rights. There would probably be fights even wars! There would be money problems, people stealing, no lands being looked after and there is so much more things that would be ruined without rules however i really cant explain them all. Remember this is only what I think.

What are the four abiotic factors of an iguana?

How do you take care of a red-bellied newt?

Fire belly newts are the salamanders that you see in some fish tanks at the pet store. They are all black with a red underside. These salamanders are quite easy to care for and they are a good choice for somebody looking to get their first lizard or

salamander. Newts only grow to be about four or five inches in length which means that you don't need a large aquarium to keep them in. If you have a lot of newts you will need a bigger tank to house them. You will want a tank with a secure lid and you will probably want some type of underwater filtration system.

The underside of the newt is red or orange to warn off predators that may be looking to eat them for a snack. The bring colors will warn the prey to stay away from the newt. Newts are secrete a type of poisonous liquid from glands located by their necks. This is not known to be poisonous to people.

Newts are good swimmers but they will also come out of the water to bask in the sun. Newts also love to be on land as much as they do the water. They will get out of the water to bask in the sun under a heat lamp or light. You should provide them with a dry area to relax as well as an area to swim. You should have a basic 2 1/2 gallon tank for one newt and place a large pile of rocks somewhere in the tank so that the newt can come up from swimming and dry off. You should change the water frequently to avoid the water levels getting at an unsafe level.

You will want to purchase some type of blackworms for your newt to eat or some type of pellet food. Most pet stores will sell pellet food that is designed for fire belly newts.

If you have some type of gravel at the bottom of your tank you will want to make sure that the newt isn't able to suck it in because it will get stuck in the newt mouth.

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 do iguanas shake there heads up and down when you get close to them or when another iguana gets close?

Answer

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 :)
