: Hi all! I was just in my local petsmart buying dog food yesterday and came across this magazine('99
: annual). It has some great articles about all kinds of reptiles and amphibians( Geckos, Ig.s, Monitors,
: Turtles, Chameleons, etc.). They label them as "good
: choices for beginners". All the articles talk about
: everything that you would need to know - tank setups,
: lighting,food,behavior, cleaning, ease in breeding,
: etc. I found it to be very enlightening for me-
: someone that's beginning to check out reptiles and try to figure out which one if any I would like as well as be able to properly care for. There are 2 articles in particular that I thought people might be interested
: in: WHY IGUANAS? written by a woman that has cared for igs for 28 years and FEED YOUR IGUANA THE RIGHT WAY written by a DVM & DABVP. Both were very informative.

: Happy reading,
: Teresa

Hi Teresa,

hows it goin. One thing about Igs being good
beginner pets is THEY ARE NO WAY AN EASY
PET TO HAVE! FIRST YOU HAVE TO FEED THEM ALL THE
RIGHT FOODS, WAKE UP AN HOUR EARLIER THAN USUAL
TO BATH THEM, LET THEM MAKE POOP, GIVE THEM ALOT
OF ATTENTION AND EXERSISE, TAME THEM, WHEN TAME
LET THEM ROAM IN YOUR/THEIR ROOM, YOU NEED PROPER
HEATIN LIGHTING AND OF COURSE SIZE IN THIER CAGE
ALOT OF CLIMBING STICKS PROPER CAGE FLOORING AND
OF COURSE LOTS OF SUN OUTSIDE and last but not
least !!!ABSOLUTLEY NO HARNESESS READY MADE
STORE BOUGHT FOOD NO 10 GALLON AQUERIUM AND NO
LETTUCE!!!!!!
