: I work at a pet store and a guy brought in his iguana that has been severely abused. He kept cutting his tail so he could be squished into a 20 gallon tank. He is about 4 years old and is only about 3 feet long. When he brought him in i was about to punch the guy in the face and then call the cops. I took the iguana home since I have always wanted an iguana and i had a nice brand new 4 foot by 3 foot by 2 foot cage right in front of the window. He is eating really well and is gaining weight already. He has great coloration and is the nicest thing ever! I can't believe it. I have been looking over websites about bathing and letting your iguana swim in your bathtub. I have heard different opinions on the water temp. and salmonela. I would like to hear what the people in this forum do to bath their iguanas and let it swim.

hi brittany thanks for heping that iguana hes gonna be a great pet for you . i trained my iguana to go to the bathroom in the tub its easier and keeps cage cleaner. at first i thought it was nasty but then i got used to it, i fill the bathtub with warm water then put him in it after he does his business i scoop it up in a paper cup flush it down toilet take him out and put him in his cage then clean tub with bleach and rinse with water. bleach kills sallmonella . if you do what i do youll be safe always wash your hands after handling any pets or rep[tiles, also wash hands after touching raw eggs or chicken get the picture you can get sallmonella from anything mike
