: : : 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.

: Dark

you do not use harnesess because they can cause broken
limbs, cause loss of their spikes it can really
cut your iguanas life short as for the ready made
food some iguanas are allergic to it and their is
alot of chemicals it really isn't worth arguing over
