Wow, I'm seeing red! What a beautiful red iggy you have! What's the temperament like on that bad-boy?

Glad your lil gu is back up, I know I missed my gal like crazy while she was hibernating.

Rango my friend is actually a male green iguana. He gets this bright orange when he gets some good florida sun. He's also the best lizard ive had. He eats from your hand.. sleeps on your lap.. follows you throughout the house.. he even climbs the stairs and sleeps in my bed lol. He has no cage. He has the whole backyard with a coconut tree to himself lol.. I hope with the work im putting into bans, he'll turn out just as good.

Thanks

Oh my, he's a very manly man with all that testosterone to be that red then. We used to have one of the red-morph green iggys who was also a free-roamer. But, he always had a bit of an attitude and would tail-whip the crap out of anyone who was a stranger to him.

Nice group! Such a happy time when they wake up

 

[Steven.]

I was wondering guys.. when bans eats 2 pinkies.. he still looks hungry.. should I feed him 3 or will that be over feeding him?..

Maybe move up to the next size. It will contain more minerals and he will be satisfied. I've got a little guy that just woke up about that size eating hoppers.

 

[Steven.]

I wanted to but I bought 100 pinkies at the reptile show because I was too afraid that the next size up might be too big...

[laurarfl]

I know what you mean. Feed three and make sure to dust them.

 

[laurarfl]

Or feed two and offer something else as well

 

[treysik]

At what age/size do you start on pinkies? I'm worried about problems eating.

 

[laurarfl]

It really goes by size more than age. I started give my little ones pinkies at maybe a couple of weeks-month old.

Wondering what the outside world is like..lol

Anyone know of a good place to get a powersun?.. I've had bans powersun for almost 3 years now and I figured id buy a new one since I gotta get one for my bearded dragon that soon to come.. Every where I see its like 80 bucks

[laurarfl]

Awesome. Thank you guys.. today was the first day I feed him raw egg. I mixed it up with ground Turkey. He loved it!!!.. and one more thing. I don't know about you guys but I have had amazing results with the shirt trick.. I pretty much remove all hides and put my shirt in the enclosure. After a week you can notice a difference.. today I came in my room to check on him and this is where I found him..Lol
