New on here. Figured I would post up my Ig, considering I already posted about my boa. Name is Ziggy and he's a little over 3 years old :) My old iguana died a while ago. He passed due to kidney failure. Very sad!

Anyways, I got this guy and he has been great!! Not very people friendly yet, but I am working on it. Tends to freak out around other people, but he is getting better.

That has definitely been a concern as of late LOL

Why do you say that? I thought the same thing, but many told me it in fact was a he

I thought by that age male iguanas had jowls, a larger crest, and more orange to them. I've been wrong though. I'd love to be kept updated on Ziggy.

I think it could possibly be a female. Either way, Ziggy will have to suffice LOL

I will definitely keep this updated! He/She is currently in a 6 foot high x 3 foot deep cage. Loves to climb around!! I am going to be moving in the next couple months for school, so I will need to build another cage for my apartment. Won't be as big, but trying to decide the size

Ziggy is very good looking. I vote female also.. my male looked much different. As far as size goes for the next enclosure make it as large as you can.

I admire anyone who has an iguana. They are so high maintenance that if youre able to keep one healthy, that takes a lot of skill. This one looks very nice and may he or she give you many more rewarding years ahead. :)

Cage is kept at a steady 78-80 degrees with a basking temp of around 94 degrees. She loves her basking spot though :) I am currently rearranging her plants and stuff, so it looks a little bland. Just trying to get ready to move.

And here she is eating her Collard Greens, Alfalfa Sprouts, and Green Beans. She loves to pick out all the Green Beans first haha

He/she is beautiful. Really unique dark markings i havent seen one like that before

i remember owning a big male iguana. probably my favourite animal i ever owned. i just hated dealing with the scratches on my hands/arms
