Iguana Lizard Care

Healthy iguana lizards should be luminescent green and have a filled-out appearance with plump legs and tail. They should resist being picked up and should run lifting their whole body off the ground. They should have a bowel movement once daily. There should be no lack of appetite, head tilts, sores, or swollen limbs. See a veterinarian trained in exotic medicine for any abnormalities. Iguanas usually do not do well with and accept other lizards in the same cage. They should have a place to hide within the cage. You may use plants, pots or boxes for this.
