looking for care info on desert iguanas

Posted by LauraO on June 09, 2000 at 20:16:58:

I teach high school zoology and we may be getting some desert iguanas from a friend of mine. I have lots of experience in keeping many kind of herps, but I'd like some words of advice from those who have personally kept these iguanas before. In a nutshell, I know them to be desert animals that need a really high-temp hot spot for basking. Also, I know some people that have fed their desert igs a 50/50 mix of veggies and insects, but this friend who may be giving me his igs told me they eat all veggies, much like green iguanas do. Well guys, what do you think?
