xlogger · 02-05-2005, 10:56 PM

Carmensita · 02-05-2005, 10:59 PM

he doesnt smell weird. by the way, does anyone know if they sleep with their eyes open? i just tried to grab him, he was all still and then it was like he "woke up" but his eyes were open.

Basic_man · 02-05-2005, 11:02 PM

vivency-AdamQ · 02-06-2005, 12:20 AM

nice... chop off his tail some time when you're bored.... it'll grow back :D

emthree · 02-06-2005, 01:53 AM

So these things give off eggs without a mate?
I know a friend whos iguana left a few eggs in his bed the other day. (he lets it roam free)

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they have to mate, and ours is a male so it's probably all good.

vivency-AdamQ · 02-06-2005, 02:45 AM

ill laugh if he spooges all over during a wet dream... hahaah :/

They do sleep with their eyes closed..
Maybe he was deep into thoughts ?

Very cool. We have an Iquana that's probably about 10-12 years old and about 3 feet long (including tail of course). We let ours roam sometimes and she'll come and sit on my lap and want to be petted like a damn dog!

A piece of advice though...make sure you give your Iquana plenty of calcium. Juvenile Iquanas are very sensitive to calcium deficiencies and die pretty quickly without it...

blazi · 02-06-2005, 07:53 AM

very cool!! tell Carlos I said hello

Rui · 02-06-2005, 07:54 AM

funny shit...I know a friend that has a Iguana that has the name you given to yours...lol

MiaVega · 02-06-2005, 07:59 AM

Usually anything that doesn't have fur, I flip out..(phobia) but there was something about ours that I just loved...(had to give him to my uncle when we found out we were pregnant 7 yrs ago)
He's HUGE now, my uncle finally stopped buying bigger tanks b/c he was getting way too big, he's awesome though, be careful of his tail as he gets bigger and older, he'll whip ya if he's pissed. He always whipped my husband, but was very attached to me...we still visit him, and I tried to convince my husband to take him back....he said NO WAY..

Jey p · 02-06-2005, 08:02 AM

LOL
nice pet :P

maddox · 02-06-2005, 08:03 AM

That's good advice.. Feeding them right is extremely important !
(giving them access to swim is too btw.)

My old one was like a dog really, I could call him and he'd come running to be petted (if he was in the mood anyways) or i could throw stuff for him to fetch for me..
He was damn smart too concidering the brain size, at dinner time he'd often start chasing the cat, tease the cat to chase him or do some other kind of stuff to make me come looking what all the noice was all about, all while he was sneaking into my plate to eat my food *lol*

gooddomains · 02-06-2005, 09:19 AM

some pussy please

Carmensita · 02-06-2005, 09:53 AM

what is the best way to feed it calcium? like which form of calcium? and we have it in a glass cage, it's big enough for his size for now. i think i need another heater though because the temperature is at like 70 and that is way too low.

MandyBlake · 02-06-2005, 10:54 AM

oh icky no.
that is SO NOT my thing.
i prefer soft cuddly furry creatures.

Well, i have no idea of the english names of half the things we're feeding ours so found this link that can give you some very good and acurate advice http://drexotic.com/care_iguanas.htm

Btw. You should be very carefull with literature (printed aswell as online)about them as iv'e found that most are very inacurate and sometimes even harmfull in their suguestions.. This article seems to be okay all the way though.

As for temperature it is very important that you have different temperatures in your tank so that he can seek colder areas if too hot, and warmer if too cold, and allways have a hot spot like a heated stone or something as they need warmth to propably digest their food.

Carmensita · 02-06-2005, 03:23 PM

I just got home and he totally dug up all the soil on the bottom. I think it's because he's frustrated with his new environment or something.

Actually, the best way to give it calcium is to crush up some calcium-enriched Tums and mix it into his food. Alternatively, any pet store will sell powdered calcium for herbivores but Tums are cheaper, just as effective and have a nice cherry flavor

As for heat, do NOT use the heated rocks, because too many of them are cheap and the controllers burn out, burning the stomachs of the Ig. Their enclosure should be tall (Iguanas are climbers) and you can put heat lamps on the top (don't let them get close enough to actually touch them) and you should also have a UV grow light on the cage (UV is very important to Igs).

Juvenile Igs are very sensitive to cold, diet, UV, etc and most of them don't make it very long. Once they reach a certain age, they're much more hardy though.

Melissa Kaplan's Iguanas for Dummies is an excellent reference manual and should tell you everything you need to know.

well that's cool because my b/f works part time at this wholesale place so he can probably just pocket a few things of tums here and there for the lil guy.
