I am well versed in all aspects of the care and keeping of green iguanas. This includes all husbandry issues pertaining to the Green Iguana. I am not a vet so I cannot answer medical questions, other than ideas for normal supplementation, removing stuck shed, dropped tail and mites and other general health questions | |

I can answer questions about the best types of lighting and heating sources. I also am very knowledgeable of metabolic bone disease, foods of which to comprise a balanced diet, growth rates, personality and decoding of iguana body language. I cannot provide any medical diagnoses, but can instruct you on the best home care in addition to a veterinarian's instructions. I can recommend when to seek professional medical advice. |
