In Reply to: Helmeted Iguana? posted by Chameleon996 on December 12, 2002 at 21:37:12:
Helmeted Iguanas are also known as Forest Chameleons or Casque-headed Basilisks. You are in the same boat as us Ctenosaurus keepers...very little info out there about our particular species. From my understanding, Helmeted Iguana husbandry is similar to chameleons. They don't tolerate high temps well, basking around 90 degrees. They are carnivorous, arboreal, and require fairly high humidity levels. If you've had yours for 4 years and it's doing well, it sounds like you've done the research. Congratulations! Here are a few references I was able to locate. Also, Ingo over on the Water Dragon forum may be of some help. Good Luck.
