Basic Iguana Care

[@PBbasstracker]

If the iguana bites you, don't react!!! I have 6 iguanas and they are all wild caught, they don't bite me anymore. If they know them biting you does nothing then they stop biting. Promise

[@antoniogallardo7847]

How do you maintain 6, please tell me your secret

[@ReyesBrothers]

Nick Stites hi what do you put on the ground of the iguana cage ?

[@flotechno3920]

Nick Stites do the bites hurt?

[@lorenahurtadoval4237]

@FLO Techno yes when I searched online it says some peoples fingers got ripped off by the iguana

Before video: IGUANAS ARE COOL!! I WANT ONE!!! After video: never mind...

[@madellynpineda5020]

the dragon master lmao true, me being a cat person never had considered having one, but my dad is moving so I'm over here trying to learn about them bcz he can't take his baby iguana with him. Cats are easier to handle 😅😅

@@madellynpineda5020 they are ALOT like cats. What happened to your dad's iggy?

[@Mosactus]

The best thing to do about housing is potty train your iguana so it can be out in the house mostly cageless. They will often choose their spot to poop (mostly around a pool of water) and stick to it. So you can then replace it when they use it like a litter box. The best thing to do is be super consistent with your rewards with them. Mine also gets outside time to play in the sunshine though so she's spoiled. This video has good advice for food.

[@deserehoward8555]

I have a small koi pond and I would like to raise my now 3 month old green iguana to be a free range pet in my home. What are the chances that I will be able to take her outdoors in my fenced in yard and let her play in the koi pond?

does the gender manner when it comes to attitude and taming? :o because i really want one.

[@Kami-sz9xf]

Martin Rowlands Reptiles yeah your profile pic is also a iguana

[@amonkeybird]

@@teasipping8696 females are easy for attitude, but the worry is more when they are either carrying eggs, egg bound.. not eating; wanting to sleep a good bit because of breeding season. Males can get very sassy.

[@rahulpb9249]

Hi I am about to get a baby green iguana. I would like to know some things about it. Is it OK to be in home enclosures? Does it has any or will it be affected by any diseases that I should be aware of? What if its bites is that a bad thing for a human? Does it spread any diseases?

[@amonkeybird]

no.. bites will not infect you with a disease. Thats fear propaganda.

[@id104335409]

There is no way I can wave my hand like that around mine. He is going to scratch the hell out of me.

[@matthewdavies2057]

There is nothing more fun than taking your friendly adult 6 foot long iguana out on a warm day wearing his chihuahua harness and leash to scare the bejesus out of the neighborhood kids and random tourists on the beach. Man do they freak out. The iguana seems to enjoy the show too.

[@Iguana5k]

Luckyly I live on the countryside and can pick fresh food plants outside, because they eat alot when they are fully grown and that canned food is quite expensive. My big male would eat me poor xD

[@christianz344]

Could you guys maybe do a taming video, Everytime I see a baby one (in the pet store) they're just very jumpy or nippy always trying to run away. Not sure if it's because they're wild caught or if it's just because they're young. So if I get one from a breeder would there be a better chance it's more calmed down?

[@jules9096]

Hey..I got a really cute nice and little iguana yesterday for an early 10th birthday present and I love him ask the Petco assistant to see if it’s a male or female. Because females are WAY MORE NICE:)

[@yungpedialyte998]

It can depend because about 7 months ago I got to one for me one for my stepmom and a wanted the more energetic one but now he’s lazy and hers is a douche

[@lilkam4072]

Getting a green iguana very soon, really hope this helps

[@forlornqueen]

Lol I almost lost it when I erroneously thought you said to feed shredded cheese but then I realized you were talking about grating veggies. I'm so glad you emphasized their care needs without vilifying them. I grew up with iguanas and love them but waiting until we buy land and build our dream home someday before getting them again. I think if you don't live in a suitable climate for an outdoor enclosure which includes me atm then they should really have free rome of a room with a basking area for each one and not be kept in cages unless you have like a full hight walk in closet sized custom enclosure but at that piont why not let them have a room

[@michaelmarzette1863]

My buddy ❤ cause you taken him home. Your buddy (my buddy) that's what you would say my buddy 😉 😀 😄

[@demon1822]

Really well done video! I had an iguana for 15 years, and he got BIG! Great pet if you spend time with them, but too many people buy them for the kidlets and don't realize how to properly care for them. I had mine way before the internet, so I read several books. It also helped to have a vet who knew exotics and was willing to make house calls. Giving an iguana a shot is no picnic.

[@peridottheiguanna7050]

Thanks! This really helped a lot. I usually give my iguana kale and stawberrys everyday, I added a free carrots and a tiny slice of bannana

[@mhiggs8001]

Thank you so much! This has been very helpful!!

[@cherishedvalor]

Your iguana seems chill. I hope mine will Be like that when he’s bigger. I’m going to try so hard to make him comfortable and happy.

[@chrishodge3610]

U R AWSOME... THANK U SO MUCH...

[@elizabethchada894]

honestly, she's probably scared. once she gets used to you she'll probably eat more... if you mist her more, she'll be willing to eat more. my iguana won't eat if he's thirsty or dry, and he refuses to eat if he doesn't get enough heat or UVB.

[@russianlizard5551]

If it’s still alive put it in an affordable plastic container twice it’s size if it’s young, if it’s old give it to someone who can take care of it but that’s also a good thing for a baby/ juvenile, they eat mostly greens, bananas, peppers and grapes would be a good diet

Wow!! That was alot of information!! I live in south Florida they thrive here in the wild so l get to enjoy them without having to do all that today one was stuck in the plastic coated chain link fence 3/4 of the way threw - back hips & legs just would not go threw so it took 2 of us & we had to get her out backwards - it worked but she went right back into the chain link again 3 times!! She insisted on coming into my yard - actually l think she was looking for the place with room underneath where ducks come in & go out but she was not quite to that spot maybea,4 feet from it? - we left her alone thinking she would realize she has to back out not go forward - & she almost had it - so this 4th time before she realized she was free of the fence again l tossed her into the grass away from the fence & finally!! She went up in the tree - they walk by us in the yard like they could care less & munch on the greenery - l swear they recognize us & know we are not going to bother them - lve gotten some GREAT pictures!! I think this way is the absolute best - & they adore 🌺 hibiscus flowers!! If a flower blooms guaranteed it'll be gone before the day is out l LOVE them where they are - even though their not native their everywhere!!

I had one when i was about 12. I was given a large cage for her. Had her around 5 years mostly ed her thawed frozen vegitables, romaine with some other vegiies and ruits at times. She liked me and was fine with others so long as she could see me, if i let the room she would no longer want to be held by whoever had her. She really hated when i had to visit my father in another state and was gone or a ew weeks at a time. She died after 5 years but though i read a few books i never added vitamins into her diet/ She really liked eating ants as well, never cought her eating any other insects. She use to be able to run around on our screen in porch in Florida.

I have a UV light in the front and in the back I have my basking he lamp which is shining directly on the tree that I put up for him and I have my night light for night time, and I also have a log for him to cool under. I put a variety of vegetables in his bowl every day.

I think that could be the reason why many people own Bearded Dragons nowadays than Iguanas lol. Back then people didn't know how big Iguanas got and didn't know how to care for them and they usually died within a year or 2. Bearded Dragons don't get as big maybe around 2 feet are very hardy compared to other Reptiles and are great for Beginners to the Reptile world. Oh yea also can't forget Bearded Dragons are way more tame than Iguanas and sometimes do enjoy being handled. :)
