In Reply to: I know you have seen this question many times before, but pl posted by ease oblige me! It is about Rhino Iguanas on March 19, 2002 at 23:19:55:

You will not be sorry for choosing a Rhino. :) I would forget your preferences while the baby is little and stick with a paper or carpet type substrate. Like green igs, Rhinos like to lick everything. Once your Rhino is a year old or better you can use a sand or dirt type substrate. An Active UVHeat bulb would be a good choice....positioned so the basking spot is about 95 degrees. A CHE could be used for heat at night. Humidity usually isn't a problem, normal household humidity is comfortable for these guys with occasional baths and sprayings. A 75 gallon tank would be fine for raising a young one to about a year old.

You might want to cruise the Cyclura/Ctenosaur forum for more info. Also visit www.Cyclura.com for wonderful pictures and information.

Here are pictures of my newest little one, Loofah, hatched November 1st, '01. She is growing like crazy and at 4.5 months is almost as large as my older female, Bubbles, was at 1 year of age. I think she's gonna be a monster!!! LOL

Loofah, November '01 3 weeks

Loofah, March '02 4.5 mos
