Iguanas

Iguanas are herbivores. They eat greens, vegetables, squash, fruits, and grains. Foods such as spinach, beets, swiss chard, dock, sorrel, whole grains, celery, kale, and carrot tops should be avoided as they have a tendency to bind calcium. Hand feeding them is a good way to tame them.

Iguanas are entirely herbivorous (plant-eating) from the time of birth and do not require any type of animal protein at any point in their lives. Older iguana studies indicated that iguanas displayed quick growth if fed large amount of animal protein, which is true. What is also true however, is that iguanas fed large amounts of animal protein do not live very long, often as a result of gout or metabolic bone disease. It is important to offer iguanas a diet composed of calcium rich greens, fruits, and vegetables. Herbivorous reptiles require a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 2:1 in their captive diets in order to fare well. A diet that provides for this necessity is as follows : 70-80% Dark, leafy, calcium rich greens such as: collard greens, mustard greens, endive, watercress, and dandelion greens. If they can be obtained, mulberry and hibiscus leaves should be included as often as possible. Avoid iceberg lettuce entirely, it has no nutritional value. Spinach should be either fed in small amounts or avoided entirely because it contains oxalic acid, which binds calcium in the intestinal tract, making it unavailable. 20-30% Grated vegetables such as: carrots, winter squash, pumpkin, zucchini, thawed frozen mixed vegetables, and spineless prickly pear cactus pads. Avoid or feed sparingly: broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, escarole, cauliflower. These vegetables contain iodine binders that can cause thyroid problems. 10-20% Fruits and flowers such as: strawberries, raspberries, mango, papaya, kiwi, melon, apple (no seeds), prickly pear cactus fruits and flowers, hibiscus, nasturtium, and dandelion flowers. Iguanas love bananas, but they should only be offered as a treat because they have the incorrect calcium to phosphorus ratio. Make sure to cut and grate all food into bite size pieces for babies.

Yes, it is legal to own an iguana in Virginia, as they are not classified as prohibited or restricted species in the state. However, owners must comply with local ordinances and ensure proper care and housing for the animal. It's also important to be aware of any specific regulations that may apply in certain counties or cities. Always check for the most current laws and guidelines before acquiring an exotic pet.

Well, yeah!

A baby lizard is called a Lizling

YES

Iguanas are omnivores, they eat plants, insects, and small vertibrates.
Iguanas enjoy a diet of greens, vegetables and fruits. They can, however, be given various types of worms and other reptile meals. It is not recommended because these are high in fat, and animal protein is less beneficial than that from plants.

an all vegetable diet

Strangely, it's called a "slaughter" of iguanas.

As long as it is ok by both people, yes, kissing is perfectly legal.

As adolescence iguanas will eat insects and other meat proteins, however these proteins are hard for the iguana to digest as it gets older. They should be fed primary an assortment dark leafy green vegetables such as bac choy, and romaine lettus.
I'll use the Green Iguana as my example. Babies are primarily insectivores, eating some vegetable matter. Adults are nearly completely herbivores.

Probably not, the usual causes of iguanas tails turning black is because the tank is not warm enough, you will most likely have to take it to a vet to have the tail snipped.

You can't even see their teeth, but they're there, and very sharp. when you look inside an iguanas mouth, all you'll see is gum and tongue. but make no mistake, their teeth can cause VERY painful bites. just watch them eat veggies, they can literally destroy them.

the large clawed iguana has large claws. the smalled clawed iguana has small claws. :)

An adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce. The claws of the Galapagos and South American iguanas are adaptations because the claws help them obtain their food.
