: : hi i'm an up and coming owner of an iguana. I've been doing a lot of studying on them (AND I MEAN A LOT) and i've heard a bunch of conflitciting opinions and such jsut wondering if you people could clear some things up for me

: : 1. is it ok to mainly let your iguana free roam around the house with a basking light here and there for him to bask. and some food dishes around.

: : 2. (silly question) can an iguana be trained to like scratch on the door when he wants to pee or something or be trained to go in a litter box.(a guy said he got his tegu to scratch the door, and i got both of my previous rabbits to be litter trained, this only needs to be answered if you think its ok for them to free roam)

: : 3. Just exactly how fast are they, if i let him in the back yard(which is fenced) if he started to run could i catch him. (i have a collared lizard already and i know i couldn't catch him,SPEED DEMON)

: : 4. exactly what is your salad made of about the only things i've heard to put in it that has remained constant is squash and some leafy greens for a dessert the rest have all had a variety of things to put in with the squash

: : 5. i live in northern florida. if i let my iggy out every day to sun himself in my back yard for awhile would he still need a uvb light.

: : 6. i have a calcium adder already that i use for my collared that has calcium and D3 but no phosphurus, would this stuff work since the iggy will get the phos he needs (which i know is not much) from his salad.
