Considering that green iguanas and red-footed tortoises are both reptiles that can live in temperatures from 70-95 degrees Fahrenheit, need humidity levels of about 75%, need the same UVA and UVB light, and are primarily herbivores with similar foods they should eat (dandelion, mustard greens, collared greens, etc), I'd say it's safe to assume they can be kept together. Tortoises and iguanas are both very calm animals, and I don't think fighting would be an issue - however, expose them to each other slowly, and if any aggression is evident you should separate them. Also be sure to design the habitat accordingly for both animals. A tall environment is needed for the iguana (at least five to six feet tall), as they are tree-climbing animals by nature, and tortoises obviously stick to the ground. Make sure the tank is large enough to accommodate both species and you should have no problems. Hope this helped :)
When does an iguana hybrinate?
It doesn't! Where they live ( forest and rainforest ) there is no winter or cold wether so there isn't a reason to hybrinate
How do green iguanas camouflage?
Iguanas are reptiles. All reptiles have a covering of scaly skin. They do not actually have individual scales like fish do.
Yes, but not often. spinach has a lot ofprotein, and iguanas can't have too much protein. but, spinach is much better than iceberg lettuce, which shouldn't be fed to them at all because it's low in nutrients and is addictive.
I would recommend feeding your iguana some spinach, other shreddedvegetablesand fruits (that are low in sugar), and green leaf or romane lettuce. DO NOT feed it iceberg lettuce or any kind of meat or dairy.
What is the one feature that helps the common iguana to survive?
Just a feature? Well their long tails help them survive by keeping away predators. They have a very long slender tail that when whipped can leave a horrible cut across skin. This defense can help an animal survive..... Their claws also help them climb and stay away from ground predators which being able to stay away from predators helps you survive too....

Does a light for an iguana's cage have to be on all the time?
No, not all the time. Most people turn the main light off at night and turn on a lower light/heating lamp on for them during the night so they don't get too cold. Please note, that most pet lizards are adapted to cope with a 5-10 Degree F drop in temperature at night so a general cooldown in their living space is fine.
