: How big do spiny tailed iguanas get? Recommended houseing size? thanks

Spiny tailed igs are in the genus Ctenosaura. There are several species though and the size will depend on the species. The species most commonly seen in the pet trade run about 3-4 feet total as adults. I would recommend housing size to be about as large as for adult green igs. Ctenosaura are omnivores. Otherwise, care is very similar to green igs. They are more difficult to tame than greens however.

If you can find it, the August 1997 issue of _Reptiles_ has an excellent article on spinys. Melissa has a brief caresheet at:
