Martin...hy-de-ho Nice to see youre SUPER interested in providing the BEST care for your lil monkey. May I suggest one...make it three fantastic sites to enhance your information base.

www.anapsid. org=Melissa Kaplan
www.baskingspot.com= Jen Swofford
www.iguanaden.com=Kevin Egan

Please pay special attention to dietary needs of captive bred Iguanas...Quick glance of the diet yer givin him is very high in oxalic acid & goitrogenic. Any beans you give yer iguana..should be fed separately & NOT a part of the salad because of phytic acid...which acts EXACTLY like oxalic acid. I know I'm nuts! just a few thoughts is all!
btw re: constipated ig? ....reconstitued prunes /alfala or timothy hay like rotorr rooter...tons more fiber & CALCIUM!
Happy herping so glad youre here!
