Be EXTREMELY careful with the D3 supplimentation. From everything I've read & everyone that I've talked to that has any knowledge, D3 supplimentation must be done in a very exacting manner as it can quickly come to "toxic" levels as iguanas manufacture D3 naturally. If not administered in minute doses, D3 levels COULD actually end up killing an ig. Much like many other areas of herp culture, not nearly enough is known about the physiology of these animals.....

Personally, unless there is a specific need to ramp up an ig's system, I prefer to lat the ig produce it's own D3 by way of UVB.....
