:But I think maybe I can't provide anymore enclosure for another iguana, bcoz I have some big reptiles in my reptile room that I have 3 adult Boa constrictor constrictor . 2 matamatas and many different kinds of spiders .
Matamatas - cool. ;)
Because it can be very difficult to find another home - a good home - for an iguana, I think it would be best to not risk getting another one, hatchling, juvenile or adult, as you may not be able to house them in a much larger enclosure as you cannot safely house two igs in an enclosure large enough for one...and a dog crate really isn't big enough for a single adult iguana, let alone two. (She may be spending most of her time in there because boa constrictors are natural predators of green iguanas and your iguana recognizes them, whether or not they have made any moves like they were interested in eating her.) The iguana cage is the biggest cage in my room , I think it's
Chris, I think just having her, but making sure she gets as much activity as she wants (free-roaming time in your home, outside of the reptile room), handling, a place set up for her where she can spend time basking and watching the happenings going on outside a window, etc., will be healthy for her and much safer, in the long run, than risking her or another ig. Iguanas don't need to actually fight or bite to cause another iguana stress severe enough to weaken it to the point of death if they aren't completely separated. So, unless you can set them up in the properly sized enclosures with all the equipment they need, in separate rooms, please don't get another one...
