Iguanas

Actually, they usually don't. desert iguanas live in dry conditions, but even they need some humidity. most iguanas live in hot, humid tropical areas and in captivity their habitats should be similar to that!

Yes, but not to often because the acid can be harmful.

like maybe 2 times a month. Answered by tony.

no they actually have 5

mostly aliens and monsters however can be attacked by marshians.

Source: http://www.abc.net.au/nature/twoyears/filming2.htm Marine iguanas can't spend very long underwater because they're cold blooded animals. They spend maximum an hour feeding and then they must come out and lie on the rocks like slugs, soaking up the warming rays of the sun before sleeping for the night.

Iguanas are exothermic, meaning they do not generate their own body heat. Like all reptiles and amphibians, the body temperature of an iguana depends entirely on the temperature of its surroundings. Pet iguanas must be provided with a "sunning spot" and a "cooling spot" so that they are able to adjust their body temperature on their own.

Yes! I have seen them sneeze spit from their mouth but usually they will spit water from their nose it they get some in there.

no.

An iguana can jump 17 feet

Iguanas are basically vegetarian. So any fruits or vegetables, flowers, clippings from the garden can work too. They also eat bugs from time to time, but they do not eat fish as far as I know.

they dont they are very nice lizards if you tame them the right way. p.s i am a pro and been working with them all my life.

it has a red or green dewlap

research the Galapagos islands. Answer: Iguanas are a common lizard found in Central and South America. The southern limit of the range isBrazil and Paraguay and the northern extent Mexici and the Carribean. Populations are also found in Florida, Texas and Hawaii. These populations are termed feral as they are pets that have escaped or have beenreleased to the wild.

depends on what the iguana prefers.

different iguanas have different personalities and different favorites.

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!

they live in the rainforest.

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.

its skin absorbes the color and changes to that color
