you should cut their food into tinier pieces, baby iguana’s don’t have teeth so they have to swallow their food whole and it can hurt them if the piece of food is not cut up into a tiny enough piece

[@fatpigeon7422]

Is it viable to build a custom cage outside for an iguana? I’m moving to Florida soon and I’m planning on purchasing one. Wouldn’t need an artificial heat source? Although they’re used to Florida temperatures is it still recommended?

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

I would recommend 1000000%. Iguanas outgrow most cages, so if you can build a big enough one, as long as it has exposure to heat and sun rays, it will do. Especially in Florida. Although it doesn’t get very cold there in the winter, make sure there’s some sort of heating bulb or pad that makes it not get below 65 at its coldest. 75 would be the best cool temp. Also, it rains a lot. So make sure there’s protection against that although most of the time the iguana likes the rain.

[@swift_bokaos4781]

What should I do if my iguanas is very scared of me and is ready to whip me

[@robbieguidero4429]

Who did you buy this iguana from? It looks like someone spent a lot of time socializing him. He is a very curious lizard it looks like

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

He was always very curious. He always was exploring like they like to do. With age, he did get more social but also agressive. At this time, he was sweet and curious. Like a baby. Once he became older the aggression started to kick in. I believe I got this iguana from petco. As you can see he was not taken care of.

[@robbieguidero4429]

That makes sense then I have a theory that since the pets are just on display and see a lot of people they are more adjusted to people.

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Robbie Guidero yeah, that theory sounds pretty reasonable. It would make a lot of sense.

Hi there i have a 10 week old green iguana and im wondering is i should start taming her now as shes very scatty at the moment ive had her just over a week , do i need to put any calcium in for her , thank you in advance

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Wait a week. Don’t handle her as they get a little bit touchy if you do. Try to give her lots of space. Yes, they do need calcium. The best way to go about your situation is put your hand in her cage often during cage cleaning and feeding, but don’t touch her. After a week, slightly touch her and then try the method overtime. Hope this helps!

[@nikkic4070]

I need some help.i have had my baby green iguana for about a week and I'm really worried about him. He still hides all the time and he is barley eating. I have tried all different veggies and fruits. I haven't seen him eat at all but I know he ate some Romain because I put a peace next to him and came back a little later and it was gone but he is not eating like I think he should be. I pick him up at least 2 times a day and just hold and talk to him. But he still seems very scared and when I do pick him up he runs and freaks out. And that's the only time I ever see him really do anything. He is always hiding in his log or under the moss. The tank is at good temp and everything. I just don't know what to do to get him to eat and not be so scared.

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Hey Nikki, Pretty common issue. If you're sure the lighting and the temp is good, he may just need time to adjust. I would never recommend touching a reptile before 3 weeks of letting them settle. Just put the greens in its cage and only put your hand near when doing maintenance. Sometimes they just get nervous and need time. Keep in touch with me if things don't work out and we can take more serious measures.

[@TigrSharkz]

Omg I was thinking about getting an iguana in about a week, but I was going to name him rango too!

[@yezzyr.1499]

oo i had named my iguana rango at first now it's new name is rambo lol

[@tonyharkins06]

i understand this is a taming video for your iguana, but heating pads/heating rocks are the wrong way to go. they cannot sense how hot they are getting on their stomach, leading to burns. they have a special sensory organ on their head that tells them how hot it is above them and it tells them when to bask. they cant sense heat from below, so they would end up hurting themselves and leaving burns on their bellies. good video, nice content, but please please please dont use heating pads. it'll burn the iguana without them noticing and can lead to future complications.

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Oh yeah, I just realized what you had meant. Heating pads are fine, but under the tank at low levels you’re right. This was before my tank came in so I was doing what I could as he was a present. So yeah, no you’re right. But they are fine at low levels!

He has whipped me with his tail a few times but that's rare he usaully just lays around and also he eats good.

Just wondering what did you do before you iguana was this calm. I’ve had mine for a month and he is younger than this one but still terrified of me. Being patient with him I hope that’s the answer.

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Ari Divinity sit in front of the cage for a couple hours each day. When cleaning out his cage or maintenance to it, go slowly. He will become less scared of your hand. With time get closer and closer. After a month or so he will be okay with your hand. Then try this method. Hope this helps.

[@iamtherealwill]

Bro your iguana looks exactly like mine I’ve had him for about a week and he seems mean so I’m scared to pick him up, and I’m scared to let him roam around because he’ll probably take off running, any tips?

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

If he’s aggressive watch my video about dealing with aggressive iguanas. I’d recommend waiting about a week before you get him to do that method though. Reptiles can have a hard time moving in to new homes. Wait another week, try that method, and if he’s still not getting better let me know!

[@jessplec9407]

@@edgonzalez6177 go check out Ontario iguanas. This is not what I would do. Touching in too many random places too quickly. Try to stay under the neck or on the back when you pet. I trained my iguana and did not do this. You have to build trust. That is the main focus. You will never have a tame iguana if they do not trust you. Picking the iguana up so many times to relocate will only create nerves so that they wont want to go near you because they dont want man handled. They are very sensitive and beautiful lizards and it takes alot of work and knowledge to do this the right way. Definitely check out Ontario Iguanas though she is on KZbin and has several. That will be your best help. The body language described in this video is not correct either. If they are scared their dewlaps do not puff out. They shrink inward toward the jaw. Aggressive and angry iguanas project their dewlaps.

And let it look at you

[@simi7992]

I know it’s been a year, and I don’t want to check right now, but I wouldn’t recommend force feeding iguanas by agitating them until they bite unless there’s an actual problem, otherwise they might negatively associate hand feeding with being forced to eat when they’re full. I could just be being stupid but that’s just my opinion.

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

That’s reasonable however the main goal is to stop the biting. It shows them that we don’t care about their negative behavior. I believe I mentioned he hadn’t ate yet, so he wasn’t full for sure. You’re not rewarding them or anything, it just shows them, hey, we don’t care about your biting. We don’t care about your whips.

[@simi7992]

Golden Empire Productions Okay, thank you for the response. That makes sense, I thought you meant that you were trying to make him eat even though he was full, I’m sorry.

[@seiannawolford1965]

a baby iguana should have a 40 gallon and you should be upgrading as they grow and they will eventually need AT LEAST and 6ft wide 6 ft long 6 ft tall cage the cheapest way to do it is to honestly build it yourself but a 100 gallon like you stated in the text in the beginning is way too small please don’t interpret this wrong!! i’m simple stating i’m not “coming” at you or anything!! also the tail is one of the most dangerous areas to mess with along with the mouth ( i do appreciate you adding in the video “if you aren’t comfortable touching the head it’s okay”!! thank you for adding that for people who are new to iguanas) but as i was saying the iguana could tail whip if feeling scared or frightened which can lead to stitches and deep cuts/wounds! and a adult or semi adult iguana can even break bones with their tails! i’m only saying this because i didn’t like that you told people to touch their tails because in some cases that can be extremely dangerous even with babies!! but thank you again for explaining in your video to touch them WHEREEVER you are comfortable i feel like that was helpful to people who watched this and have just gotten a iguana !! also iguana care/setup/behavior/ etc... is EXTREMELY different from other large lizards!! and i just wanted to add i understand why you felt obligated to buy from pet co or pet smart because when i walk in and see they’re animals and reptiles i feel terrible and i know most die but when we buy animals from them to “rescue” we are only causing more animals to die/ live in terrible conditions!! but again no bash towards you i understand why you would rescue from a pet store because it can be quite heart breaking! i know this comment might come off as me being rude or something but that’s not my intention at all!!

[@jaydenjackson5963]

also i pet my iguana on the stomach and he puffs up :/

[@emanderson2752]

I need help my iguana is scared and charges at me.. he’s bite me 5 times. And won’t let me touch him at all

[@Virtual_Vinsanity]

Takes lots of time friend, dont give up. I got 5 lizards right now(and one in incubation) and all have given me shit. Two especially right now. But if you love reptiles then you'll love the reward at the end and in return enjoy the experience of getting there. Iguanas are hard. Freaking nuts. Got two right now and got bit the other day by one, hes barley a year old. My Rhinos about 2 now and a sweetheart but when I got him he was about a year and totally nuts. My water monitor was a freak, you couldn't get close to his enclosure without him freaking out, he almost bit the tip of my finger off( blood everywhere) . A year later he gets excited and wants to crawl all over me whenever he sees me. I've had my male tegu for about 12 years and the end result is a puppy tame lizard my kids can lay with and cuddle but wasnt always that way either. My point is dont give up, it takes lots of time, patience and experience. Reptile keeping is a real hobby not just some past time. It's a awesome fun experience. But you really gotta get into it to enjoy it.

I JUST GOT MY IGUANA AND IT ALL READY HATES ME

[@jeffreyquick6254]

How is the iguana after a year?

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

My iguana passed away around 7-8 months after this video, however he had tamed down quite well. I basically revived him from the horrible shape he was in from this video into a green, beautiful, vibrant iguana I was super proud of! Thanks for your comment.

[@miguelbarraza85]

Nooo, how??

[@miumiumeows]

My iguana bites

[@illu.ed1tz]

I shall steal the Lizzard so mine shall have a fren >:)

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Haha!

[@illu.ed1tz]

Golden Empire Productions oh- wait you actually responded! I commented so late I'm so sorry 😂

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Honey Lavender haha it’s fine

[@kattiewilson5044]

Great video but spinach really shouldn't be fed to a baby green Iguana, if you feed him vegies feed him/ her fresh spring mix never anything slimy(can be toxic) or iceberg lettuce

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Spring mix isnt amazing either. I mentioned this in the video! Always use fresh mustard or collard greens!!! Thanks :)

[@StyxNyx1]

Not fresh spring mix either, that contains spinach and chard...which also is not good for them. Fresh greens should be mustard, turnip, collard & dandelion as their staple greens. Here's a PDF printable food chart that I use for my ig. myavho.com/storage/app/media/Herbivorous_Reptile_Food_Chart.pdf

[@browlinathebeardeddragon6888]

I’m a Bearded dragon owner Lmaoo and I’m watching a iguana video 😂😂🤣 but I would never recommended to buy pets at pet stores it’s better to buy pets like Bearded dragons or iguanas or etc. up pet stores word or specialized in them Just in my opinion 😊

[@silencer113williams7]

How much did pay for him

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

60 I believe!

[@jakiediaz4773]

I paid 35

[@skylarjaxx2399]

Oh wow I paid $100 too much huh?

[@joeknutz9362]

Lmao 100 gallon tank is wayyyyyyyy too small itll basically be a dog kennel for him

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

For a baby iguana his size, it would have lasted him about another 6 months. Plus, i wouldnt even reccomend getting an aquarium for them. Build an outdoor eclosure with heating. Again. For the last time. This is a TAMING VIDEO. Not a setup

[@anthonyserra4283]

This is one of the better videos

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

He just passed away today, but thank you so much

[@scottlincoln9900]

Antonio Garcia what do you mean? Also this is very outdated. Making a new one soon!

[@antoniogarcia6525]

Golden Empire Productions I just got notofacation WTF?

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Antonio Garcia that's really weird

[@kamrenstyles2954]

Pls do not listen to this kid he has only had it for a few days and dosent even know that the tail is one of the worst place to touch your iguana and the tank is clearly too small he'll outgrow that in a month and he is force feeding he like its a dog pls do your research before getting a pet like this

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Kamren, I’m sorry you feel that way. However, this is a very good way to train and it’s helped several. Is everything okay? Do we need to talk? Let me help you.

[@spych0367]

It's like g ok d doesnt want me tame my iguana I can't watch this video and all the other videos I watch say leave it alone

Sorry my video wasn’t of help to you. I appreciate you for stopping by. Have any questions let me know. Sorry this video wasn’t good :/

[@mwoods4608]

Spinach is not recommended for daily feeding. Please read the green iguana Society web site & the iguana den for a healthy diet.

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Thank you, but im aware. Collard greens or mustard greens are the best staple for greens. I believe i mentioned this in the video. If i didnt, then i mentioned it on a different iguana video and left a comment saying that Spinach is not the best. Thank you for commenting though! I get you were trying to help!

[@StyxNyx1]

@@GoldenEmpireProductions Here's the website www.greenigsociety.org/ Definitely read up on iguanas, the site has all sorts of great info! Here's another fantastic site that you will find very helpful. Enjoy! :) anapsid.org/

[@StyxNyx1]

@@GoldenEmpireProductions Also, here PDF of a great iguana food chart. I keep a printed copy of this chart on my refrigerator and one in my purse for when I go grocery shopping, it really comes in handy! myavho.com/storage/app/media/Herbivorous_Reptile_Food_Chart.pdf

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

StyxNyx1 I am aware of all of the information linked! I said in the video collards or mustards are the best staple. They can have other veggies and fruits though! Just not as a staple. Thanks!

[@Wickedreptiles]

That iguana looks very dehydrated! And spinach is bad because it binds calcium which is what they need the most of.. kale is also a no no best are collards mustard and turnip greens

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Please watch recent videos. I got him healthy and back to normal. This is just a training tutorial right after i got him!

[@Wickedreptiles]

Golden Empire Productions bro I’m sorry that he died but he died from improper care rather it be before you got him or while you were trying to figure it out who knows.. his color did look better but the weight was still very under what it should be my iguana is 5 months old and is now almost as big as a year old iguana and is dog tame already all I have to do is open his cage and he crawls up my arm I haven’t done a recent video but I’m going to tomorrow. The greens needs chopped up more because they can choke and man I’m telling you spinach is one of the worst thing you can feed to a iguana especially a juvenile adults can handle it but babies need all the calcium they can get.. what type of light was that I don’t think you were achieving the correct temps and proper thermal gradient.

[@Wickedreptiles]

I’m not trying to hate on you eathier but I just like helping people have more of a chance at a healthy pet iguana that lives to be 15-20

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

@@Wickedreptiles my iguana died from escaping my room and then fighting my dog. Please stop. My iguana before passing, was actually normal weight. Which was something he had never been before. You know absolutely nothing about this situaution, so please stop talking. If you need proof, go to @rangos_refuge on instagram. Thanks. I get that youre trying to help, but i raised that iguana from skin and bones, to a full on healthy green iguana. I take pride in that. So, in my opinion, you are hating.

[@jaymack200nm]

Dude!!! Vacuum that floor 🤮

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Definitely needed one!

[@mwoods4608]

He needs something high to climb on. They live in trees. 100 gallons is not big enough. Needs to be 6 feet tall at least!! They need several temperatures through out the day. 100-95 basking. 95-85 to cool down. Shade, water access, a humidifier. Please don't believe this video!!

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Yes becky! This video is not a cage setup. This video is a TRAINING method. Please dont falsely accuse me on not knowing things. Thanks.

That’s a terrible enclosure bud

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

Why yes it is, however this was not an enclosure set up. Within a day of this video I had moved him into a 40 gallon long and then after a couple months into a 100 gal. So please, don’t comment if you don’t know the full story!

[@ianragan9817]

All the enclosures are shit bud

[@williamvigneault1888]

Ian Ragan I think the husbandry was part of the reason he passed a few months ago however people live and learn. At least he seemed to love it and care about it just not have the means to take care of it. A lot of people get them without the means or care for them whatsoever and just want one cause they look cool and don’t realize it has to be a full time hobby at the least for you, expense and time wise for them to live a long healthy life. I’m sure after this was uploaded he realized his adult iguana was going to need a cage almost half the size of his room.

[@GoldenEmpireProductions]

William Vigneault ^^^ I like this response a lot. Yes!!! I had a 150 gallon at the max. I was in the works of building an outdoor 6x6 foot enclosure when he died. Sadly not from husbandry, but rather from him (somehow) escaped from under my door and got into a fight with my pit bull. I loved that lil guy!

[@williamvigneault1888]

Golden Empire Productions if you don’t have anything in that 150 gal you should send it my way! 😬 lol So sad to hear about what happened to him. Such a freak accident. Super sorry to hear.
