Green Iguana
Care Page
Care Page
Iguanas are certainly one of the most popular lizards to be kept as pets. There are a multitude of
online resources available to iguana owners or potential owners.
Iguanas are one of the more recent "fad" pets, becoming readily available in many pet stores, often
at very low prices. These are young iguanas that don't seem to be too difficult to care for, a myth
often perpetuated by retailers hoping to sell them. Of course, they are very cute too! But, as with
all reptiles, iguanas have fairly strict feeding and housing requirements. And they grow, often very
large (if they survive) and they can be difficult to tame and become aggressive. This is not to say
that iguanas cannot make good pets - but they need the proper care right from the start, and
owners need to have the right expectations.
Rather than reprint in summary everything we know about Green Iguanas, I am going to defer this
page to the experts at the Green Iguana Society.
Be Sure to view our "Friends of Norbert" page to see why Green Iguanas are not the right pets for
everyone.
