Iguanas are NOT easy-care pets! Actually, I have yet to meet an "easy-care" pet of any species, but that's another matter. Fact is, regardless of what pet stores tell you, Giant Green Iguanas become GIANTS. They grow very large (5-6 feet), can be aggressive when adults, and require expensive equipment, time-consuming meal preparation, huge enclosures (or free-run of at least one room of your house), and lots of attention. They are not companions for the faint-of-heart or the faint-of-pocketbook!

Henry Lizardlover photographs lizards, all of which are certainly real, alive and healthy. Absolutely NO tricks of any kind have ever been used or needed for the lizards to do this. NO photographic or digital manipulations of the lizards are ever used. What you see has been done in public live demonstrations by Henry since 1985.

Napoleon The Iguana's Home Page

This page contains the story of Napoleons rescue from a pet store in Sept. of 1996 until now- Dec. 2003 and onward. Napoleon was a very sick lizard when we got him, and I've detailed the kind of rehab care that he had to go through to become the strong healthy iguana that he is today. Along the way I've learned a lot about iguana care, behaviour, intelligence and what a wonderful entertaining creature an iguana really is. I hope you enjoy his story and learn more about iguana care from this site.

Green Iguana Society

In autumn of 1999, three people started talking about how there needs to be a place where people can learn about Giant Green Iguanas. This would be a place where they can find what to feed them, how to adopt one, which veterinarian to use. We wanted them to be able to get the information clearly, and easily, and not have to dig through a pile of reptile articles, or to be scared off by overzealous activists. Most importantly, we wanted the information to be correct and available to anyone who asked.

Iguanas are herbivores or failovers, which means that they are plant eaters. They eat leafy greens, fruit, and fresh, uncooked vegetables that are grated and chopped to a size appropriate to the size and age of the iguana.

Make Your Iguana a Rainforest!

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 04:00:00 -0600

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WANTED TO OWN A SMALL dinosaur, an iguana would make an excellent substitute. However, it's important to remember, destined to grow to five or six feet, the iguana is a wild creature ...some are easily tamed, some not so easily. Iguana ownership can be a labor-intensive passion which becomes much easier when you fulfill your pet's requirements.WITH THEIR necessary requirements met, an iguana can live for 15 years or more and grow to an impressive 5 to 6 feet in total length. Obviously, this is an animal you must plan ahead for, if you are to raise one properly and in good health.THE KEY to raising a healthy reptile is in creating the proper environment and following good husbandry techniques. Iguanas come from the rainforest in countries like Costa Rica, Mexico, and Guatamala and must live in a warm climate with high humidity. There are several places in the U.S. where the climate is warm enough for iguanas to establish wild ranges, Florida and Southern California are two, but usually the owner must be the one to create that necessary special environment for his or her pet. Try to recreate Iguana iguana 's natural environment in the mini-ecosystem you design for your iguana. Study the rainforest and the components that make up a rainforest ecosystem and you can create a world for your iguana that more closely resembles his natural world.REQUIREMENTS:

About the Green Iguana

The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is a large, arboreal lizard from Central and South America. They are typically about 2 metres in length from head to tail and can weigh up to 5 kg. These lizards have recently become extremely popular in the pet trade—over 800,000 animals were imported into the United States alone during 1995, mainly coming from captive farming operations based in the country of origin. Despite the apparent "mass market" appeal of these animals, however, they are very demanding to care for properly over their lifetime, and the great majority will die within a few short years. If properly cared for, a captive green iguana can live anywhere from eight to 16 years. The oldest known pet iguana lived 29 years.
