Green Iguana for Sale

Green Iguanas (Iguana Iguana) are mainly arboreal and live in close proximity to water. Iguanas are excellent swimmers and are most active during the day. These popular lizards grow fairly large and are territorial so it is best to keep them singly. Iguanas can live 15 to 20 years in captivity.

Feeding a Green Iguana

Iguanas should be fed in the morning so that they have the entire day to bask and heat their bodies to the ideal temperature for proper digestion. A shredded or chopped salad comprised of a variety of the following ingredients should be fed daily:

• 50% green leafy vegetables such as collard, mustard, dandelion, chervil, watercress, chicory, and kale
• 30% vegetables such as green beans, endive, turnip greens, snow peas, sugar snap peas, orange squash, and parsnip
• 10% of a high quality vegetable protein source such as alfalfa (rabbit) pellets or rolled oats
• 10% fruits such as figs, apples, blackberries, kumquats, tangerines, blueberries, oranges, peaches, and pineapple

Vitamin/calcium powder should be sprinkled on their food 3 times a week

Caging Requirements for a Green Iguana

Housing/Habitat: Their natural habitat can be simulated with an aquarium equipped with an under tank heater at one end. The bottom of the aquarium should be covered with reptile turf for easy maintenance, landscaped with well-anchored vines, branches, rocks, and driftwood for basking and climbing. It is also important to provide a large enough hiding place for the iguana to conceal his entire body. Frequently misting the terrarium will help provide the necessary humidity. 

Lighting: Full spectrum fluorescent high UVB bulbs and a basking light are required. Iguanas require 12 hours of full spectrum light daily.

Temperature: night 73-84°F day 75-88°F basking 90-95°F

Water: A large container of clean water should always be available for swimming, soaking, and drinking. The water must be changed frequently as the lizards also use their water for defecation.

Humidity: Misting daily is required to provide water droplets for drinking and the high humidity required.
