Most people consider the iguana as a very peculiar choice for a pet. However strange it may seem though, the iguana is fast becoming a very popular preference among young kids.
The iguana is a reptile so it is cold-blooded, scaly and slimy. Not at all the furry, fluffy and cuddly animals we commonly associate for pets. Yet many iguana pet owners are very satisfied with taking care of them as they are generally well-behaved and don’t need much interaction. Iguanas don’t run around to play or chew on your furniture. They just stay put in their pet aquarium or cage and with just a bit amount of feeding from time to time, the pet lizard is all good.
As a pet owner you ought to know firsthand that as an exotic pet, the iguana has needs and wants that are different from what we commonly know about other conventional pets. Here are some:
1. The iguana needs adequate lighting to keep him warm. A warm environment is important for a reptile since it aids in food digestion. Natural sunlight is the best source of lighting for the iguana as it provides him with enough supply of Vitamin D.
2. It is also important to provide a spacious enclosure for the iguana. A large space will provide good ventilation, more than enough room for the iguana to move around as well as anticipate his growth size. Iguanas can grow up to five or six feet in length.
