How To Take Care Of A Desert Iguana. I would strongly suggest them to anyone looking for a lizard. A pair of adult iguanas may be adequately housed in a terrarium 3x2x2 ft.
You need large terrarium if you have to captive more than two lizards together. Throughout the decades that reptiles have been popular pets I think the number one seller probably has been the green iguana. Leopard geckos are great first reptiles look those up.
Just like any pet iguanas will need to go through a tamingtraining period and its not uncommon for the handler to experience a tail-whip here and there during this process.
You may opt to include a water dish inside the cage and provide light misting the enclosure a few times per week. The viewing area should be made of glass because these can scratch the plastic with their claws. Its all part of the fun in learning how to take care of an iguana. Since the iguanas health is dependant on the actual environment that he lives in it is essential that this part of the process happen first before anything else.
