| Humidity: |
Green Iguanas require a humidity level that is
between 50% and 60%. |
| |
|
| Lighting: |
A 5% UVB light will provide the required light
source for a Green Iguana. |
| |
|
| Physical Design: |
Green Iguanas like to climb and since they are
large animals they will need relatively large branches
or even logs in which they can climb and lay on. |
| |
|
| Size: |
Green Iguanas can grow very large which means
that you will either need a very large enclosure
for them or you will need to dedicate an entire
room for them. Giving them plenty of space is vital
to keeping them healthy and happy. |
| |
|
| Substrate: |
Since Green Iguanas are so large they can ingest
most materials commonly used as a substrate, this
includes large bark chips. Reptile carpet or newsprint
will work best for Green Iguanas. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
Green Iguanas will need a basking area that is
between 90 and 95 degrees F. A cooler area in the
habitat will also be needed that is about 80 degrees
F. This temperature span will allow the lizard to
go to an area that it feels comfortable in. |
