Just got my iguana

[camille]

no i dont. i sadly didnt have the money to care for him and i live in a small village. hence we dont have the greens and vegetables he needs and cant travel to the city to buy it weekly so i found someone who could give him what he needed. after i rescued him from my own school i wasnt gonna watch him suffer cause i couldnt affoard to buy him food. anyways those who have him now just love him so im glad i did it. they always stop me on the side of the road to tell me how much calmer and sweeter he is than their other iguana . He was a sweet guy though. i miss him *sighes* But ill get another iguana when i finnish college and work i think ill be able to affoard it if im a vet tech. it might not be the worlds highest paying job but i think ill be able to affoard to care for an ig. Thats actually why i post alot on iguana stuff. i dont want people doing like my school did and rushing to buy an iguana and then the poor thing having to suffer cause people dont know what their doing.

Oliver If you have a finicky eater, you can try some mango flavored (human) baby food. Iguanas are nutz for food that is orange....squash, mango, carrot, etc. They even love the flower hibiscus. (sp)

[camille]

yeah iggy love to eat colored food though he wasnt finicky since at school at they fed him was split peas and..darn whats it called in english(i go to a french school ) turnip...no...argh looks like a carrot but white . cant find the word. i think im losing my english 0_o. bah well you guys will figure it out but yeah thats all theyd feed him...that and a extra calcium tums once a week. so thats why you guys see why i kinda tough when it comes to iguana care. but yeah, oliver. you asked questions about your ig but you havent talked about him. since your a new ig owner you should be loving to show him off. get some pics on here and tell us about his temperament and stuff . oh and just wanted to make shure. you giving him baths(havent read all the thread ) and make shure you wash your bathrub with bleach after. my mom kept bugging the **** out of me everytime i bathed iggy to make shure i did. my iggy would love the shower. if somehow i didnt have time to give him a bath before going to school id take him into the shower with me hes love to have the water spray on him. hed just stop moving, tilt his head to the side and smile his iggy smile . plus after id let him climb the counter so hed enjoy that . guess you can tell i miss my iggykins

Oliver, how is the bath going? And what have you changed about your igs diet? Is he settling down more? Also, what cycle do you have him on for UVB and light? It should be 12 hours on, 12 hours off.
