Green iguanas can be difficult to handle, but following these steps makes the process easier.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Fresh veggies
  • Reptile light
  • Adequate caging

Step1
Construct adequate housing. Make sure that your iguana has enough room for how large he is.
Step2
Feed it fresh veggies that are particularly enjoyed by this species--plants like green pepper, any kind of greens, carrots, celery, squash and similar foods.
Step3
Clean its cage daily or every 2 days. Remove any waste with a damp cloth.
Step4
Maintain a functioning reptile light at all times. Allow enough room for the iguana to move freely around the light.

Tips & Warnings
