iguana help

[byron1987]

hello every 1 i have brought a green iguana . i have a reptile room with all my bearded dragons 6* and geckos 4* would it be best to house my iggy in my reptile room or would he come on better in my lounge were he can get used to the goings on in my house and noises/smells

i was thinking i have a big bullmastive so i keep the door closed at all times with a toilet lock on it .. do u think the will the iggy c me opening nd closing the door as im coming 4 him as to speak to eat / handle him and b more scared than being in my lounge and will him being able to smell my other reptiles make him harder to "tame" as to speak i have read alot up on my iguana he was NOT! A INPULSE BUY and i have found no information on this situation b4 people start

thanks if u can help

hey i keep my iggy in my livingroom and i have 2 dogs and there is ALOT going in in our house lol if he i coming out his viv i put the dogs in another room and they can still see each other (got glass doors) but once he is in his big viv (huge bloody thing) it will be uptairs cause of space etc my dogs don't seem to bother with freddy anymore they just ignore him now lol at first they were a bit what i this you've brought..is it a toy? lol but now there totally fine

as for feeding charts i think melissa kaplin's site has a good chart on it and tesco is one of the best for getting the stuff from (asda don't seem to stock alot of it lol) i use spring greens, pak choi, wee bit of spinach, chinese leaf, romaine lettuce, butternut squash, tomatoes, cucumber, raspberrys, strawberrys eyc but he LOVES grated butternut he goe daft for the stuff!

I'd always advise keeping them in 'busier' parts of the house too. They are very intelligent and need stimulation. It will also help them to fear things less, in turn aiding the taming processes
