Iguanas are not easy to care for. The iguana has become a very popular pet but few people are aware of the difficulty of caring for them.
Iguanas are very expensive to care for.
They require a very large cage, a varied fresh diet, proper temperatures and UV lighting. Adult iguanas can become very aggressive. An iguana requires at least 2-3 hours of direct UV light a day. If they don t receive this light through direct sunshine they must receive it through artificial UV-B lights. Direct sunshine means direct, not through glass.
