Hello, My son just recieved an Iguana for his birthday. We have had it for 14 days. He has been asking for a snake, lizard some type of reptile for awhile. We made several trips to the pet store and talked to the employees. He finally decided he wanted an Iguana. Now the Iguana is here. I am now having concerns......I brought this on myself because I allowed my decision to be influenced by the salesperson at the shop. I am a little upset, because I feel like I was not completely informed.

We are feeding the recommended food from the store and things like green beans, peas, carrots and corn(a frozen veggie mix), yes we thaw it out and cut it up into small pieces.

I buy it distilled water for his dish and for misting. We mist a few times a day.

The tank is 3x2x2. The Iguana fits in my hand, but with his tail he reaches to the bend of my arm. He has greenery and things to climb on.

We have it out a lot and let it climb around. We even have a potted tree near a window to climb on.

We don't know if it is male or female and they never offered to tell us at the store, but I didn't ask either.

Well this post is getting long. What I need to know is what to do with our little green friend. He is a lot of fun and we are happy to have him. We just want to care for him properly. Any help is greatly appreciated. Genivive told me this was a great place to get friendly advice.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
