Green Iguana Viv...

[SamP]

I am interested in getting a Green Iguana and was wondering what sized viv it would need when fully grown? If anyone could tell me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

first of all you need to do alot of reserch and no how big and powerfull they get. they need lots of room to run and bask etc.

you cant just choose to own a iggy just like that it is hard work and not cheap. there also not very easy to care for.

im not having ago its just there are so many rescues alredy from people thinking its easy to own and then realising how big and powerfull they are

its not just a walk in the park.

i think you should do alot and then more reseach about them like they dont eat crikets mealworms etc.
and they dont eat cabbage

I checked how big they can get. I gathered when they have reached their full length they could be 40-80".

I'm not even sure if I will get one, but if I am seriously considering getting one I will do a lot more research.

WELL done m8 he is absalutely correct and if you decide you definately want one pease try to rescue one from your rescue center they are wonderful just be sure you are confident enough to care for them properly

hi mate you need as uch room as possible preferably a room but here is a chart
( taken form MK's ICFS sheet)

So, how wide and tall should your iguana's enclosure be? By the end of the iguana's first
year (that is, 12 months of age), the iguana will have outgrown commercially available enclosures.
That means you have less than 12 months to design and build your own (or have built) an adultsized
enclosure. That enclosure will be at least 6 feet (1.83 m) tall, and the depth at least 3 feet
(0.92 m) deep (front to back). The width (side to side) needs to be at least 1.5-2 times the
iguana's projected overall length over the life of that enclosure.
For those having trouble doing the math, that's an enclosure at least 9 feet (2.75 m) for an iguana
6 feet (1.83 m) long. Most small bedrooms are 9 feet across their width or length, so keep this in
mind if you have been thinking that you can easily stash a green iguana in that empty living room

corner or on top of your child's desk.
