Expert Profile: Yexalen

Expertise:  I will answer any questions that you may have about feeding, lighting, heating, maintaining a proper setup, construction of enclosures, bathing, dealing with agression, general care and keeping of the (common)Green Iguana. I can not answer questions about other species of Iguana although I can and will try my hardest and give you the best information I can after researching and going over my findings. I am not a certified veterinarian and so I can not answer medical questions that require treatment. I am here to supply you the information you need about the animal you care for so the more information I have the better I can help with your question(s).

Experience in the area
I have researched these particular lizards for several years however not having enough area in my home to own one, I have been around many and have read enough information from books and various reliable web sites to understand the personal side of keeping one of these magnificent reptiles. I have answered several questions before on other question and answer sites and am currently working on my reptile focused web site where a portion will be dedicated to the care of Iguanas

Education/Credentials
I have been researching reptiles in general for over eight years and Iguanas in particular for 2 years. I have not enough room in my home to own one of these lizards but I have cared for a few that had belong to close friends and have had "hand to hand" experience with these reptiles.
