Do you think you are ready to own a pet iguana? Well if you can provide a great home for your pet, then you are in luck. An Iguanas habitat is one of the most important aspects in regards to raising a healthy and thriving iguana. Your iguana's home must have three things.
First, you must provide your iguana with correct lighting. Second, you must give your iguana some "play" time. And lastly you must have a clean home. Read below to get more in depth with these three factors.
Proper lighting and heating plays such a huge role in your iguana's health. You will need to find lights that provide adequate UVA lighting. This is necessary because your iguana's skin will not be healthy without this lighting. Further, place the lighting at the top of your cage or home to get the most coverage possible. You can find these lights at any of your local pet stores.
Your iguana needs "play" time. What this means is that you need to provide your iguana with climbing apparatuses and hiding places. This is how your iguana gets its exercise and how it can hide from the outside world. I recommend using rocks and shrubbery.
You MUST keep your iguana's home clean! Your iguana will get sick if you do not pick up after it. Clean all of its dropping and dispose of old food and water.
If you follow these three key steps, you will see a healthy pet iguana! Remember that you must provide a great cage, so go out and do it!
