I took a rescued iguana that was caught in the in field of the daytona speedway in dec 2016. He's a beast now! stays inside in the winter and has an 8x8 outdoor enclosure for most of the year. I got lucky with his personality. What a sweet boy he is! Cherries are his favorite treat.
While we do feel that invasive animals can throw off the balance of ecosystems and should be controlled, we really don’t enjoy seeing the animals shot in that way.

They are very intelligent animals. With a little work you can have an incredibly friendly large lizard. Without any work and they will mess you up haha.
Iguanas is probably one of the worst pets you can get. They are incredibly hard to take care of and require a lot of money. They can also be very aggressive. Even if they seem calm they can change spontaneously.
It really just depends. They can be incredible pets but we definitely have seen males flip the switch over time and become very territorial when in their enclosure. But we agree they are for experienced keepers.
We handle them quite a bit as a part of our traveling show so they're just super calm and unaggressive. I tell people that they either think they're human or we're lizards! 😊
Janette Ruiz haha that’s awesome that you took them for walks! Great for exercise and sun exposure. We support you in getting another iguana 😁. They are incredible animals.
Spiny can be super cool as well. They still take time to calm down and can be very flighty and will bite if grabbed. But with patience they can be very chill.
Im a beginner and bought my buddy Sal, Hes a Axanthic Iguana and hes the most amazing pet. He does have his moments where i am always nervous but we both share a room and like the same temps so he just free roams in my room. Working on handling rn but other than that hes chill and lets me love him and i think if you are a beginner and have time they're perfect but as you guys said not if you dont have the time or money.
We have a rescue green iguana. We are her third home. I spend a lot more time with her than my wife does. She was acting feisty the other day and I told my wife to watch out......needless to say,our iguana tried to bite my wife in the face 😂 My wife now listens to me 🤣 Looks like you have some awesome lizards there! Cheers
That’s really cool that you’ve taken in the iguana to give it a good home. Iguanas are known to take to certain people and only like them or sometimes they prefer one sex (m/f) over another. Thanks commenting!
Ha, I don't know, once in a while we end up with a Ford Escort lizard but the majority of the iguanas we've raised have been super sweet. They are definitely a lot of work!! Thank you for commenting.
Must be the gummies!😀 We handle them a lot in our traveling show so they're really used to human interaction. They'll sit on the table all day which truly makes them "lounge" lizards!

@@NatureInYourFace I hope that by you guys reposting you link to here from where you were saving snakes on the road recently, brings a lot of people back to this older one! Gorgeous, So highly detailed beauty, intelligent and so very passive and tame! I had a few, never got bit. Got whipped once. STING! "Youch..." Must have been my fault. Don't make them mad. They need food. Like today? lol .. ZIGGY used to freak people out just as still as a toy in the window. "I SAW IT MOVE! OMG ! IT MOVED! DID YOU SEE THAT? It was a very busy street. Tourist area deluxe. Many pretty girls strolling by every minute in the Summer. Toronto. Ziggy was pretty BIG! 'Calm City Boss watching over. It was most Awesome when we had a pair, Male and Female. They were HIGHLY aware of each other and very comical. Smart Darlings! Harness them on a leash for the Park and see them RUN! Long legs, Snake tail going like Mad! Come on Human, you sick slouch! Keep up!
I always thought if you put 2 malw iguanas close to each other they fight and are super aggressive but these 3 are beautiful boys nice and calm and no heat bobbing up amd down thats the cutest
If you keep them in an enclosure together they will try and establish dominance as well as territory, this is when they will fight. The fact that we handle these iguanas everyday and use them in our educational shows makes them much more calm, even towards each other but we would not be able to keep them together in the same enclosure. Thanks for your question!
TheDude They are fabulous, but unfortunately they are invasive in Florida. It sucks because the iguanas did nothing wrong, but they need to be exterminated for the sake of the local ecosystems.
Water Bottle yeah I know. I used to have a green iguana. His name was Jack . And oh boy he was a great , kind animal ! He would sleep on my chest at night and roam around and get back to his cage . I have german shepard now but reptiles are my favourite animals. Maybe thats why I got frustrated at people hunting them. Nonetheless great video and iguanas!
Merry Christmas chiller theater and Thanks for commenting. Iguanas are indeed "stunning" particularly the ones that are dog tame like ours. Hope you have a Happy New Year as well! Dave & Jeremy
When I was visiting Mexico out of the city in the country I saw a big one just strolling along like nothing. First time I've ever seen one it was beautiful.
Yeah they're great. We do educational reptile shows and we've been using iguanas for 30 years in our shows. Thanks for commenting and keep on lovin those Iggy's.
Yeah, our iguanas are very tame and the blue is beautiful for sure. She's grown quite a bit since we made that video and she laid 50 eggs Easter weekend! Coincidence? I think not! 😄 Thanks for commenting!
Yes adults get to hold the animals as well. Our shows are for all ages!! We don’t believe you should ever outgrow a love for animals and nature. The lizards are kept separate in their own enclosures, but at shows they tolerate each other haha. We do shows in the Chicagoland area.
I came home from work today and there was a cage and a baby iguana. I went to the reptile store and asked another of questions. While I was asking these questions they didn't seam to sure on their answers now I wasn't mad that he got it but I'm going to be the one taking care of her. Right now she is sitting in my cleaving sleeping while I'm watching videos. I love the little thing already. I'm terrified she won't make cause I don't know a lot about them but I want to know. Please help.
It’s important that they are kept warm with a heat lamp and a separate uvb bulb to mimic the sun. It should be fed leafy greens like spring mix, turnip greens, collards, etc. You can add shredded carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, peas and other fruits and veggies. You can google iguana care sheets and tank setups also. Hope this helps some.
Oh boy… so I’ve probably made a stupid mistake but we have a small pet shop in my little town and I saw the little guy emaciated in a small tank with a single florescent heat lamp laid on top of the cage top… I bought him, got some greens and fruits for him. Gotta get a ceramic heating lamp and hopefully find a mist machine to help him stay moist. I’ll also have to find a bigger enclosure. This is going to be one hell of a trip and I hope I can keep up with him to help him grow to be happy and healthy… if you have any tips please PLEASE give me some, money isn’t a problem and I can find/make space for a larger enclosure. Thank you for the video and the great info.
If emaciated I would definitely give it a soak in warm water and feed it well with leafy greens like dandelion, collards, spring mix, boo Choy, endive. Make sure to add calcium powder with D3 if no UV bulb was used, but don’t over do it with the D3 as that can make it worse. You can do reptile calcium without d3 and get a UV bulb on it asap to prevent metabolic bone disease
@@NatureInYourFace thank you very much for the reply! I haven’t seen any symptoms pertaining to MBD and I’m getting a vet visit set up (hopefully soon!). I have been feeding the little guy all of the above but he refuses to soak in any capacity and I don’t want to force him to do so for fear of stressing him out, I got him a UV bulb as soon as he got home and I have been using calcium supplementation without D3. He is fairly active and I’ve kept his enclosure within recommended parameters. Edit: I do have a mister running to keep the humidity around 70-80%
@@NatureInYourFace The way they are so still, conserving physical energy I guess for long periods must mean they must be thinking about all they are taking in visually and planning their next move. 'I wanna get the Fuk outta here' Then Vanish without even a hostage note. Promise...."warning?" I WILL BE BACK" After weeks of worry, they do come back very surprisingly and entirely unexpected. 'The World sucks". Feed me Human! I'm Home now.
This is so true. So many people saw Ziggy in the window, they caught him and brought him "HOME'" Later like a month outside in an Urban surrounding.. I wonder what creatures he ate meanwhile or is it that he just kept High on Grass. It was starting to get cold out. He was outside on the sidewalk when they brought him in. "How did he get out"?
The logo is the “don’t tread on me” symbol. It’s a timber rattlesnake that Benjamin Franklin used to describe America. The shirt is from a band called MOFRO. Check em out.
Iguanas are cool but definitely not for beginners they're excitability and a ton of work. I think bearded dragons are the best also leopard geckos they're very gentle
We 💯 % agree with that. We’ve had tame males get nasty down the road and a full grown male can do some real damage. Beardeds and leopards are great lizards all around.
Clint's Reptiles did an episode about iguanas and said how they were one of the worst reptiles to have because of aggression, which I thought was pretty short-sighted. As you said, it depends on the individual iguana and it also requires a lot of socialization.
I'd agree that iguanas don't necessarily make great starter pets, particularly if you don't have time to socialize them but to generalize and say that they make the "worst" pets is simply untrue. We've raised them from hatchlings as well as taken in adults that we've rescued and the majority of them are super sweet. I'm surprised he said that about iguanas. They definitely all have different personalities. Maybe he had a bad experience with one leading him to believe that they're all similar. Thanks for commenting and watching our video!
I'm allergic to fur and feathers so my iguana has been trained to be my service animal. He is a rescue that was miss handled as a baby. He is in toilet training right now but prefers to go out side. Winter weather will make that hard soon so the toilet it will be
That’s really cool that the iguana can help you out like that. We are always telling people at our shows that a big advantage of reptiles is that they are hypoallergenic!
3:44 Seen in the wild? Does seeing them in the sea fig trees in South Beach Miami count as "In the wild"? Because I saw a 5-footer on Thanksgiving last month.
I'm thinking about getting an iguana and I know they can be tamed you handling a lot but my only concern is how males can become aggressive during Bree season.My question is if I get a baby iguana and it happens to be a male when it grows and gets to mature age do yall have any tips on how to prevent it from getting aggressive during breeding season?
@@allenmelton3367 Thanks for your question. Of all the lizards you can keep in captivity, iguanas are the most varied when it comes to individual personality. Some are dog tame from the get go and never show aggression or defensive behavior, others can be practically unhandleable and some fall somewhere in between. This can happen at any time and not necessarily coinciding with breeding. It's a hormonal increase during the breeding season so there's not much you can do other than avoid picking up the iguana when this occurs. The best advice we can give is to start out with a young iguana and handle it whenever possible. They can be territorial and become cage aggressive, especially towards strangers. Generally speaking, most iguanas will tame down fairly quickly with the proper care and handling. You're going to want to trim the nails regularly and be careful of the tail, it's basically a reptilian saw blade! You might want to have a professional "sex" the iguana before purchasing it and maybe buy a female rather than a male, as the males are more likely to display defensive and territorial behavior. Hope this helps.
Does the orange iguana start off with those colors or do they get them during breeding season cause I've seen some with partial orange then others that are just all orange
I have a 5 month old aqua blue iguana. I think it’s male I’m not sure. I’m trying to train it to be less territorial and friendlier. What advice would you give me ? I just hope that’s not his personality 😭😫
It’s natural for younger iguanas to be skidding and territorial. Patience and persistence is the best approach. You can try feeding from tongs and feeding outside of enclosure so you can pet him while he eats or just be close by. If you need to don’t feel silly to wear a protective glove to offer food by hand or to gently remove from enclosure. Once they figure out biting doesn’t deter you and that you’re not a threat or scared of them they will usually calm down. If you can sit with him in a room and allow it to explore and come to you on its own that can help as well. Just experiment with positive reinforcement and good experiences with you. Hope that helps.
I have around a 9 month old green iguana and he is starting puberty and just very aggressive when first trying to handle him. Seconds after he is out of his enclosure and sitting on my lap he is as calm as can be. And this is a daily thing. How often does it take for a iguana to feel as if it’s starting to become a routine
Same here, mine is just sitting in my arm chilling but he was running and tailwhiping me when I was gonna get him out, I used to have another one when I was little, but he was calm , I'm not sure why , but they are pretty smart , it could be a personality trait
This is typical of lizards to be territorial of their enclosures. Unfortunately sometimes they will stay this way no matter how many times you interact with them. You can try changing things up in the enclosure or feeding outside of the enclosure to stop any food excitement/aggression. You could also try opening one side when removing the lizard and using the other when feeding if that’s an option. Just have patients, they are smart animals and will learn.
our iguana is considered a cat in our rental agreement for where we live. my baby Morris (named after Jim Morrison, the Lizard King) will be turning 18 years old in May.
@@NatureInYourFace yes! he free roams a lot and will hang out with our actual cats. I catch them many times sitting in the window watching birds and such.
It's great that he's so active. Be glad he's running around all day instead of whipping and biting you, that's when it becomes "terrible!" Thanks for watching and commenting!
Jennifer Taulbee- It's actually called a sub-tympanic shield. Scientists believe it may serve to confuse birds of prey and other predators into thinking it is their real eye. Another theory is that it may break up the shape of the head and help camouflage the lizard. I personally think it might be there to spark people's curiosity, forcing them to go to our channel and make comments and ask questions, causing our channel to grow and become the greatest nature channel known to all mankind.
I have blue iguana,if my iguana mate with green iguana,what color baby iguana will be? If i need blue or albino baby iguana only,can you please tel me in which combination they should be mate?
If you mate with a green iguana you’ll mostly get all green iguanas that are het for blue. You’re better off using another blue iguana to produce more blue babies. If some how the green iguana came from a blue iguana, then you might have a chance of getting some blue and some green.
I've been bitten 3 times on my fingers and a full grown male grabbed ahold of my nose during breeding season so I agree dont want to get bit by one and all my bites were bloody but mild compared to what I have heard they can do
Yikes! Bitten on the nose doesn’t sound fun. I’ve had one jump aggressively and hit me in the face with its mouth closed luckily. Their teeth are no joke.
@@NatureInYourFace he was somewhat an aggressive iguana(alpha male) most of the time he was fine but there was times he like to chase me around. Left jeans on the ground at all times for him. he only bite me once.
a couple years ago i had a green and blue iguana i was like 8 and it didnt live long the blue one did die realy qiuckly but the green one lived a little longer
Iguanas are known to die young, even under "optimal" care. It happens to the best, well intended keepers and no one knows why. The fact is, there's a lot to learn about iguanas in captivity, including their diet, lighting, temp and humidity, etc. We've come a long way but there are still many questions surrounding the "correct" way to keep them. The fact is, no one can completely replicate their wild habitat while owning one in captivity. The proof is seeing one in the wild with its huge dorsal crest, enormous jowls and brilliant orange coloration. Thanks for commenting.
No, it is not tender and is covered with a clear scale that feels like the rest of the head. The sensory organ is found underneath that protective cover.
They're a bit more work compared to your beardies and geckos simply because of their size and the required, arboreal set up. They can also be moody so you have to work with them. The worse thing is raising an iguana to full size but not being able to handle it because it's too aggressive. Now you've got Godzilla in your house and you have to clean his poop every day!!!
Look for a reputable breeder or a local reptile specific store that sells babies that are used to people and being held. Make sure it has a nice fat tail and looks active and not skinny and sleeps all the time.
Go get one....they're super cool. We've had them as well. Pick it up as often as possible because if you get bit by a large rhino iguana you're in trouble.
Do you think the one with the under shot jaw had a calcium d3 deficiency. Either way informative video and great to see green iguanas behaving themselves. Very honest about them too, I like that well done guys
That is what we are thinking. It has had an X-ray and there’s no sign of injury, just didn’t grow to the size it should. Fortunately it doesn’t affect it and it eats like a pig haha.
Are those all the same species? I really would like to get one like the middle one in the video. I really want a green iguana, but an orange colored one. But can I own one in Canada? If so, what am I paying for an orange iguana?
Yes they are all green iguanas. Makes especially get the nice orange colors, but you could find a breeder who produces high orange ones as well. As far as owning one in Canada we really don’t know as we live in the U.S. The orange would cost the same as the green typically but the blue one is more.
Iguana bites can be bad and definitely can get infected if not properly cleaned. Their teeth are serrated and they have powerful jaws. Best to start off with a baby so you can raise it up to be sweet. They are not poisonous.
Just rescued one from the flea market Sunday. Poor fellow very emaciated. I've been feeding it puree with vitamins and reptical. By syringe. As well as fresh veggies sprinkled with the vitamins and reptical. We have him in a 40 gallon tank while we het him healthy. He's still very docile but he finally pooped today and is moving round bit. We also have a larger cage for him. And we are planning on building a 8ftX4ftX6ft tall enclosure. He is presently about 2ft long. He will see his vet (herpetologist) Thursday. Any helpful Ideas to encourage him to eat more? He takes about 3 syringe fulls of food and 1.5 -2 syringeful of water per feeding (2× a day). The syringe is 3ml.
Good job on saving it! They are very color motivated when it comes to food, so if you add any red or yellow fruit or veggies to the salad that might help it eat. Also try getting it outside in the sun. Ours love to go outside and bask and the unfiltered sun can’t be beat. I would also try warm soakings in water for hydration and pooping. Hope this helps.
You're doing great from everything I've read. Once he begins to eat on his own I would go on-line and order a bag of Mizzuri herbivore diet. Sprinkle a liberal amount on top of the veggies you feed him and that will get him to put on weight quickly. Although he's emaciated you should be able to get him healthy pretty quick. Again, great job and keep us informed on his progress!
He gets a good tub soaking after his morning feedings. And when it's sunny we put him in his larger cage on the porch. I'm in South Carolina so we're in no short abundance of natural uvb. Plus I make sure to spritz him and his "salads" quite frequently. He seems ro enjoy the spritzing. He closes his eyes and raises up. This is the second iguana I've owned so still novice with them. Have some experience with other legged reptiles. But they were omnivorous. Kept my other guy around for 10 years. Hopefully we get this guy up and about. Hopefully he'll get a clean bill of health from the vet. I've not seen parasites in his poo. And haven't seen any mites when drying him off and looking close. So I'm hoping he's just undernourished but otherwise healthy. Thank you so much for the encouragement and the supplement suggestion. I'll go online and order it with his other supplements to keep on hand. Again thank you so much☺
Thanks for your question......female iguanas do not get nearly as big as the males and average between 4 and 5 feet in length. Males can reach 6 feet in length, particularly in the wild, where they can eat a proper diet, soak up the UV from the sun and are not restricted to a small enclosure which can stunt growth. The red coloration does not factor in to size and is nothing more than a color morph. Hope this helps and thanks again for asking!
It really depends on the age of your iguana and how much of it broke. If it’s very young then yes it will fully grow back but will look different from its original. If it’s an adult or even older sub adult it probably will grow a little but will always end in a nub and not a point and never grow full length. Sorry that happened. 😔
@@TimidLimit where so you live? Look up the NARBC its a reptile breeder expo that travels the country in the US. You can go there and pick one out. Or see if you have a reptile specific pet store near you. Definitely not Petco or Petsmart.
@@mr.cartoonist1188 It's really just a color they have sometimes. Green, yellow, blue, orange, red, Iguanas come in a bunch of different colors and they tend to brighten or darken as they age. Green Iguana (or Iguana Iguana) is the species name.
You can use an over the counter anti-fungal cream and put a small amount on and around the affected areas. Clean the area real good first. Make sure you change the water and don't let any food sit in the food dish. Bacteria in bad food or dirty water can cause a nasty infection. There's something called Vetericyn that you can buy at most pet stores which is supposed to work well.
Whats up.. just Bought a male and a female green iguana off underground reptiles trying to tame them they are skittish at times they are yearlings i can hold them and pet them all over they just become scared when im trying to get them out thier enclosure my female dropped her tail 🤦🏽and at times they just runaway after sitting with me for awhile any advice?
Yo. It’s very possible they were farm raised and therefore might take longer to adapt to their enclosures. Give them time to settle in but let them see you from the enclosure. Try offering food from tongs, especially red and orange foods as that will be more appealing. If they are young the tail will fully grow back. Try just petting with hand or other while they eat. Sometimes forcing them to be handled can do the opposite and they associate it with a negative thing. Food is always a good way to show you are friend not foe.
Hi Rylee Gabriel - Thanks, I miss seeing you and hopefully soon we'll be back to doing shows! In the meantime keep watching our videos until you stop missing me! 😃
Lol just keeping it real. They are incredible animals and ours go to educational shows where kids love on them and hold them. But it takes time and patience to get them there. It’s worth it but we don’t want to sell it as easy or a good beginner pet. 😊
My uncle a had a orange one just like the one in the middle it was a bit bigger than yours that iguana had a whole room too himself but only went in to bask and eat most of the time it was just a Dino dog he is no longer with us R.I.P. Rico
Thanks for sharing. They really are great animals and can make amazing pets. People don’t realize how intelligent iguanas and other reptiles are, that’s why we make videos and do live shows to educate the public.
Is the iguana shedding? Sounds strange and without a pic it's hard for us to know if it's an injury, disease or something completely normal. If there's no swelling or growths I wouldn't worry but without a photo I can't even really picture what you mean. You can always email us a photo. natureinyourface19@gmail.com
Thanks, glad you liked the video. Not sure what you're trying to say but green iguanas are definitely not native to south Florida. As far as anoles....the only native species in Florida is the green anole (Anolis carolinensis) the others are mainly from off shore islands and they have taken over the Glades.
@@DJCole34 I would agree that it is unfortunate that the iguanas have to be killed, it's no fault of their own that they ended up as invasive species. Having said that, the alternative is to allow them to continue to breed and decimate the populations of native plant and animal species, ultimately destroying the Everglades. The meat and skins are being harvested and not wasted so I don't see why you see this as something negative. There is no other place on Earth like the everglades and feeling sorry for the invasive iguanas is not a reason to risk losing it forever!
I want to know when iguanas were first reported In the Everglades.. and how much of the Everglades had been surveyed and what species cataloged before that time... because I think if a human can manage to swim from Cuba to Florida, so could a giant semi aquatic lizard species.. I seriously don’t believe the invasive species narrative.. sure plenty of people have parroted that I just take it with a grain of salt. Especially when I’m seeing a herbivorous species being slaughtered for the hell of it.. seriously twisted solutions .. even if the narrative is true, killing them is not the solution. There’s a side of youtube I can’t even stomach to watch... it’s fun and games.. not a practical solution.
Are you speaking to us or the iguana? If you’re gonna eat me at least cover me in Sweet Baby Rays first while I’m still alive. That way I can lick some off and die happy.
No, normal green iguanas have orange and brown pigment which can make them look similar to the red phase color morph. They do look somewhat similar so I can see why you might confuse it for one. Thanks for commenting.

Ziggy was pretty BIG! 'Calm City Boss watching over.
It was most Awesome when we had a pair, Male and Female. They were HIGHLY aware of each other and very comical. Smart Darlings!
Harness them on a leash for the Park and see them RUN! Long legs, Snake tail going like Mad! Come on Human, you sick slouch! Keep up!
@@davidmacphee3549 haha good stuff. They truly are incredible animals. One of the coolest lizards around. Thanks for the great comments and stories.
@@NatureInYourFace Thanks Guys!
I always thought if you put 2 malw iguanas close to each other they fight and are super aggressive but these 3 are beautiful boys nice and calm and no heat bobbing up amd down thats the cutest
If you keep them in an enclosure together they will try and establish dominance as well as territory, this is when they will fight. The fact that we handle these iguanas everyday and use them in our educational shows makes them much more calm, even towards each other but we would not be able to keep them together in the same enclosure. Thanks for your question!
@@NatureInYourFace thanks for the answer there all beautiful especially the sleepy one 😴. He's my favourite

Very cool! My brother had 2 pet iguanas. Just roamed all over the livingroom. They looked scary but were pretty nice.
Gabs R Sounds like the opposite of women, they look pretty but are scary lol.
@@NatureInYourFace 😂🤣😂🤣
I love this kind of animals. Wow. It's so cute.
They are great animals 😃
People hunt down these magnificent creatures . They’re fabulous leave em alone
TheDude They are fabulous, but unfortunately they are invasive in Florida. It sucks because the iguanas did nothing wrong, but they need to be exterminated for the sake of the local ecosystems.
Water Bottle The dude is just watching our videos while sippn on a White Russian.
Water Bottle yeah I know. I used to have a green iguana. His name was Jack . And oh boy he was a great , kind animal ! He would sleep on my chest at night and roam around and get back to his cage . I have german shepard now but reptiles are my favourite animals. Maybe thats why I got frustrated at people hunting them. Nonetheless great video and iguanas!
In there natural habitat with the right balance, however here in Florida they cause a lot of damage in my garden so I have keep them in check.
Very tasty, too
I feel like iguanas have the personality of cats
They definitely are cat like once tamed down. Hypoallergenic cats
stunning creatures
Merry Christmas chiller theater and Thanks for commenting. Iguanas are indeed "stunning" particularly the ones that are dog tame like ours. Hope you have a Happy New Year as well! Dave & Jeremy
When I was visiting Mexico out of the city in the country I saw a big one just strolling along like nothing. First time I've ever seen one it was beautiful.

Beautiful creatures . Always a lizard fan .
Thanks @Courtney Renfro! We agree lizards are super cool animals.
Are the lizards in the video friendly ?
They’re super friendly. We use them in our in person educational shows. Kids hold them.
Do adults hold them too ? I would love to see one in person . Also do they ever fight ?
Yes adults get to hold the animals as well. Our shows are for all ages!! We don’t believe you should ever outgrow a love for animals and nature. The lizards are kept separate in their own enclosures, but at shows they tolerate each other haha. We do shows in the Chicagoland area.
I came home from work today and there was a cage and a baby iguana. I went to the reptile store and asked another of questions. While I was asking these questions they didn't seam to sure on their answers now I wasn't mad that he got it but I'm going to be the one taking care of her. Right now she is sitting in my cleaving sleeping while I'm watching videos. I love the little thing already. I'm terrified she won't make cause I don't know a lot about them but I want to know. Please help.
It’s important that they are kept warm with a heat lamp and a separate uvb bulb to mimic the sun. It should be fed leafy greens like spring mix, turnip greens, collards, etc. You can add shredded carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, peas and other fruits and veggies. You can google iguana care sheets and tank setups also. Hope this helps some.
Goji was living now as a marine iguana
If I were to get one I’d definitely call him Godzilla....for obvious reasons
So it’ll breathe fire, destroy cities and fight King Kong?
@@NatureInYourFace he will be a force of nature trying to bring peace and balance to the earth
And become friends w Kong
❤️
Oh boy… so I’ve probably made a stupid mistake but we have a small pet shop in my little town and I saw the little guy emaciated in a small tank with a single florescent heat lamp laid on top of the cage top… I bought him, got some greens and fruits for him. Gotta get a ceramic heating lamp and hopefully find a mist machine to help him stay moist. I’ll also have to find a bigger enclosure. This is going to be one hell of a trip and I hope I can keep up with him to help him grow to be happy and healthy… if you have any tips please PLEASE give me some, money isn’t a problem and I can find/make space for a larger enclosure. Thank you for the video and the great info.
If emaciated I would definitely give it a soak in warm water and feed it well with leafy greens like dandelion, collards, spring mix, boo Choy, endive. Make sure to add calcium powder with D3 if no UV bulb was used, but don’t over do it with the D3 as that can make it worse. You can do reptile calcium without d3 and get a UV bulb on it asap to prevent metabolic bone disease
@@NatureInYourFace thank you very much for the reply! I haven’t seen any symptoms pertaining to MBD and I’m getting a vet visit set up (hopefully soon!). I have been feeding the little guy all of the above but he refuses to soak in any capacity and I don’t want to force him to do so for fear of stressing him out, I got him a UV bulb as soon as he got home and I have been using calcium supplementation without D3. He is fairly active and I’ve kept his enclosure within recommended parameters.
Edit: I do have a mister running to keep the humidity around 70-80%
Sounds like it’s got a good chance to make a full recovery. 🤞 Good work
I love them!
Yep, what's not to love!
@@NatureInYourFace Could you get away with calling them "Pet Dinosaurs"?
How true would that be in Science?

The way they are so still, conserving physical energy I guess for long periods must mean they must be thinking about all they are taking in visually and planning their next move.

After weeks of worry, they do come back very surprisingly and entirely unexpected.

This is so true. So many people saw Ziggy in the window, they caught him and brought him "HOME'" Later like a month outside in an Urban surrounding..
I wonder what creatures he ate meanwhile or is it that he just kept High on Grass. It was starting to get cold out. He was outside on the sidewalk when they brought him in. "How did he get out"?
Will do,😊If you need help at any time let me know and I’ll be there 😉 stay safe!!!

Iguanas are cool but definitely not for beginners they're excitability and a ton of work. I think bearded dragons are the best also leopard geckos they're very gentle
We 💯 % agree with that. We’ve had tame males get nasty down the road and a full grown male can do some real damage. Beardeds and leopards are great lizards all around.
Clint's Reptiles did an episode about iguanas and said how they were one of the worst reptiles to have because of aggression, which I thought was pretty short-sighted. As you said, it depends on the individual iguana and it also requires a lot of socialization.
I'd agree that iguanas don't necessarily make great starter pets, particularly if you don't have time to socialize them but to generalize and say that they make the "worst" pets is simply untrue. We've raised them from hatchlings as well as taken in adults that we've rescued and the majority of them are super sweet. I'm surprised he said that about iguanas. They definitely all have different personalities. Maybe he had a bad experience with one leading him to believe that they're all similar. Thanks for commenting and watching our video!
I'm allergic to fur and feathers so my iguana has been trained to be my service animal. He is a rescue that was miss handled as a baby. He is in toilet training right now but prefers to go out side. Winter weather will make that hard soon so the toilet it will be
That’s really cool that the iguana can help you out like that. We are always telling people at our shows that a big advantage of reptiles is that they are hypoallergenic!

Seen in the wild?
Does seeing them in the sea fig trees in South Beach Miami count as "In the wild"? Because I saw a 5-footer on Thanksgiving last month.
Technically yes, even though they're invasive, they are wild animals.
@@NatureInYourFace
Thanks.
I'm thinking about getting an iguana and I know they can be tamed you handling a lot but my only concern is how males can become aggressive during Bree season.My question is if I get a baby iguana and it happens to be a male when it grows and gets to mature age do yall have any tips on how to prevent it from getting aggressive during breeding season?
@@allenmelton3367 Thanks for your question. Of all the lizards you can keep in captivity, iguanas are the most varied when it comes to individual personality. Some are dog tame from the get go and never show aggression or defensive behavior, others can be practically unhandleable and some fall somewhere in between. This can happen at any time and not necessarily coinciding with breeding. It's a hormonal increase during the breeding season so there's not much you can do other than avoid picking up the iguana when this occurs. The best advice we can give is to start out with a young iguana and handle it whenever possible. They can be territorial and become cage aggressive, especially towards strangers. Generally speaking, most iguanas will tame down fairly quickly with the proper care and handling. You're going to want to trim the nails regularly and be careful of the tail, it's basically a reptilian saw blade! You might want to have a professional "sex" the iguana before purchasing it and maybe buy a female rather than a male, as the males are more likely to display defensive and territorial behavior. Hope this helps.
Ok thank you sir!
That is the most stillest iguana I’ve ever seen
Stillest and chillest bro 😎
So they do make good pets if they are cared for properly?
💯 percent!! They are incredible animals and can make very rewarding pets.
Well I’m doing A LOT of research on them and it looks like that they can make great companions
Do you have any pet reptiles?
Good eating too
With hot sauce
Does the orange iguana start off with those colors or do they get them during breeding season cause I've seen some with partial orange then others that are just all orange
This male always has the orange. Sometimes they are even more intense than this.
Great video!
Rich Stumbaugh Thank you! 🙏🏼
I like the green one
I have a 5 month old aqua blue iguana. I think it’s male I’m not sure. I’m trying to train it to be less territorial and friendlier. What advice would you give me ? I just hope that’s not his personality 😭😫
It’s natural for younger iguanas to be skidding and territorial. Patience and persistence is the best approach. You can try feeding from tongs and feeding outside of enclosure so you can pet him while he eats or just be close by. If you need to don’t feel silly to wear a protective glove to offer food by hand or to gently remove from enclosure. Once they figure out biting doesn’t deter you and that you’re not a threat or scared of them they will usually calm down. If you can sit with him in a room and allow it to explore and come to you on its own that can help as well. Just experiment with positive reinforcement and good experiences with you. Hope that helps.
Nice ty
Thanks for watching
my iguana is trained its true they can come out and come back inside the house . he is also potty trained… they’re very smart
Iguanas are wonderful animals if given the proper amount of time to work with them. 😃
Dave loox like Michael off GTA V :D
They definitely have similar mouths lol
I have around a 9 month old green iguana and he is starting puberty and just very aggressive when first trying to handle him. Seconds after he is out of his enclosure and sitting on my lap he is as calm as can be. And this is a daily thing. How often does it take for a iguana to feel as if it’s starting to become a routine
Same here, mine is just sitting in my arm chilling but he was running and tailwhiping me when I was gonna get him out, I used to have another one when I was little, but he was calm , I'm not sure why , but they are pretty smart , it could be a personality trait
This is typical of lizards to be territorial of their enclosures. Unfortunately sometimes they will stay this way no matter how many times you interact with them. You can try changing things up in the enclosure or feeding outside of the enclosure to stop any food excitement/aggression. You could also try opening one side when removing the lizard and using the other when feeding if that’s an option. Just have patients, they are smart animals and will learn.
our iguana is considered a cat in our rental agreement for where we live. my baby Morris (named after Jim Morrison, the Lizard King) will be turning 18 years old in May.
18 years?!! Wow that’s great. They’re just hypoallergenic cats lol
@@NatureInYourFace yes! he free roams a lot and will hang out with our actual cats. I catch them many times sitting in the window watching birds and such.

Haha Mr. Pickles! That’s a cool name. Yea they can be crazy.

What purpose do the eyespots on the side of the face serve?
Jennifer Taulbee- It's actually called a sub-tympanic shield. Scientists believe it may serve to confuse birds of prey and other predators into thinking it is their real eye. Another theory is that it may break up the shape of the head and help camouflage the lizard. I personally think it might be there to spark people's curiosity, forcing them to go to our channel and make comments and ask questions, causing our channel to grow and become the greatest nature channel known to all mankind.
Essentially all reptiles have individual personalities, including burms in my experience
For sure. Reptiles are intelligent animals. Unfortunately not everyone appreciates them as such.
I have blue iguana,if my iguana mate with green iguana,what color baby iguana will be?
If i need blue or albino baby iguana only,can you please tel me in which combination they should be mate?
If you mate with a green iguana you’ll mostly get all green iguanas that are het for blue. You’re better off using another blue iguana to produce more blue babies. If some how the green iguana came from a blue iguana, then you might have a chance of getting some blue and some green.
I've been bitten 3 times on my fingers and a full grown male grabbed ahold of my nose during breeding season so I agree dont want to get bit by one and all my bites were bloody but mild compared to what I have heard they can do
Yikes! Bitten on the nose doesn’t sound fun. I’ve had one jump aggressively and hit me in the face with its mouth closed luckily. Their teeth are no joke.
I had a male iguana bite me on the leg he liked blue jeans as a mating thing he was weird.
@@thoughtsofglought You sure this is an iguana story and not something that happened with a Tinder date? 😂
@@NatureInYourFace he was somewhat an aggressive iguana(alpha male) most of the time he was fine but there was times he like to chase me around. Left jeans on the ground at all times for him. he only bite me once.
Yea they definitely can have crazy mood swings. Good thinking on the jeans.
a couple years ago i had a green and blue iguana i was like 8 and it didnt live long the blue one did die realy qiuckly but the green one lived a little longer
Iguanas are known to die young, even under "optimal" care. It happens to the best, well intended keepers and no one knows why. The fact is, there's a lot to learn about iguanas in captivity, including their diet, lighting, temp and humidity, etc. We've come a long way but there are still many questions surrounding the "correct" way to keep them. The fact is, no one can completely replicate their wild habitat while owning one in captivity. The proof is seeing one in the wild with its huge dorsal crest, enormous jowls and brilliant orange coloration. Thanks for commenting.
Make more iguana videos
Cristian Serrano Yes sir! What iguana species do you like?
Mexican spiny tailed iguana
Cristian Serrano I have a Ctenosaura pectinata so we might just do that.
Awesome bro 👌👍
The...Eye on top that gauges light...is it tender like the eyeball ..i mean is it an accidental spot for me to be petting ...if this makes sense
No, it is not tender and is covered with a clear scale that feels like the rest of the head. The sensory organ is found underneath that protective cover.
Please reply which iguana is middle one red color
It’s just a male green iguana. They can be very reddish orange.
The blue iguana didn't mover for like 12 minutes

Wait so only males turn that bright orange/green color
Males get more of the bright orange color. So females can have orange but not as impressive as the males.
My favorite lizard?🦎
They are awesome! That’s why we use them in our educational shows.
GODZILLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m looking into getting one
I’ve had a tortoise before so I’m not new to the reptile world but idk where to start with these guys
They're a bit more work compared to your beardies and geckos simply because of their size and the required, arboreal set up. They can also be moody so you have to work with them. The worse thing is raising an iguana to full size but not being able to handle it because it's too aggressive. Now you've got Godzilla in your house and you have to clean his poop every day!!!
Look for a reputable breeder or a local reptile specific store that sells babies that are used to people and being held. Make sure it has a nice fat tail and looks active and not skinny and sleeps all the time.
@@NatureInYourFace ok thanks
Feels like a lot of work so I may not get one unfortunately

I want a rhinoceros iguana
Go get one....they're super cool. We've had them as well. Pick it up as often as possible because if you get bit by a large rhino iguana you're in trouble.
Do you think the one with the under shot jaw had a calcium d3 deficiency. Either way informative video and great to see green iguanas behaving themselves. Very honest about them too, I like that well done guys
That is what we are thinking. It has had an X-ray and there’s no sign of injury, just didn’t grow to the size it should. Fortunately it doesn’t affect it and it eats like a pig haha.
Thanks for the comment!
At least now it's in the right hands😉
Yea it did or does have the metabolic bone disease
It does not have MBD now or any other ailments. As for the previous care we cannot attest for.
Bitey bois ♥️
Are those all the same species? I really would like to get one like the middle one in the video. I really want a green iguana, but an orange colored one. But can I own one in Canada? If so, what am I paying for an orange iguana?
Yes they are all green iguanas. Makes especially get the nice orange colors, but you could find a breeder who produces high orange ones as well. As far as owning one in Canada we really don’t know as we live in the U.S. The orange would cost the same as the green typically but the blue one is more.
@@NatureInYourFace ok thx for the info.
@@NatureInYourFace ive got another question. Are they poisonous? Will a wound get dangerously infected if they bit a person?
Iguana bites can be bad and definitely can get infected if not properly cleaned. Their teeth are serrated and they have powerful jaws. Best to start off with a baby so you can raise it up to be sweet. They are not poisonous.
@@NatureInYourFace thx once again.
Just rescued one from the flea market Sunday. Poor fellow very emaciated. I've been feeding it puree with vitamins and reptical. By syringe. As well as fresh veggies sprinkled with the vitamins and reptical. We have him in a 40 gallon tank while we het him healthy. He's still very docile but he finally pooped today and is moving round bit. We also have a larger cage for him. And we are planning on building a 8ftX4ftX6ft tall enclosure. He is presently about 2ft long. He will see his vet (herpetologist) Thursday. Any helpful Ideas to encourage him to eat more? He takes about 3 syringe fulls of food and 1.5 -2 syringeful of water per feeding (2× a day). The syringe is 3ml.
Good job on saving it! They are very color motivated when it comes to food, so if you add any red or yellow fruit or veggies to the salad that might help it eat. Also try getting it outside in the sun. Ours love to go outside and bask and the unfiltered sun can’t be beat. I would also try warm soakings in water for hydration and pooping. Hope this helps.
Ours love Mazuri herbivore diet if you can find that in your area. Mazuri is a zoo grade food pellet that will help it gain weight.
You're doing great from everything I've read. Once he begins to eat on his own I would go on-line and order a bag of Mizzuri herbivore diet. Sprinkle a liberal amount on top of the veggies you feed him and that will get him to put on weight quickly. Although he's emaciated you should be able to get him healthy pretty quick. Again, great job and keep us informed on his progress!
He gets a good tub soaking after his morning feedings. And when it's sunny we put him in his larger cage on the porch. I'm in South Carolina so we're in no short abundance of natural uvb. Plus I make sure to spritz him and his "salads" quite frequently. He seems ro enjoy the spritzing. He closes his eyes and raises up. This is the second iguana I've owned so still novice with them. Have some experience with other legged reptiles. But they were omnivorous. Kept my other guy around for 10 years. Hopefully we get this guy up and about. Hopefully he'll get a clean bill of health from the vet. I've not seen parasites in his poo. And haven't seen any mites when drying him off and looking close. So I'm hoping he's just undernourished but otherwise healthy. Thank you so much for the encouragement and the supplement suggestion. I'll go online and order it with his other supplements to keep on hand. Again thank you so much☺
I am getting a green iguana soon
That’s cool! Make sure to work with it while it’s young.
Thank you
i'm curious, how big female red iguana can get ?
Thanks for your question......female iguanas do not get nearly as big as the males and average between 4 and 5 feet in length. Males can reach 6 feet in length, particularly in the wild, where they can eat a proper diet, soak up the UV from the sun and are not restricted to a small enclosure which can stunt growth. The red coloration does not factor in to size and is nothing more than a color morph. Hope this helps and thanks again for asking!
@@NatureInYourFace oow i see now, thank you so much, another knowledge about iguana
@@dallepho4873 You're welcome. Do you have a red iguana or are you maybe thinking of buying one?
My Iguana tail fell off while it grow back 😭
It really depends on the age of your iguana and how much of it broke. If it’s very young then yes it will fully grow back but will look different from its original. If it’s an adult or even older sub adult it probably will grow a little but will always end in a nub and not a point and never grow full length. Sorry that happened. 😔
Should I get a blue ax or a normal green iguana
That’s really up to you. But if you get a blue it’s best to see the adults because a lot of blue iguanas will lose their color as they age.
Oh ok
What is the best place to get a iguana a green iguana
@@TimidLimit where so you live? Look up the NARBC its a reptile breeder expo that travels the country in the US. You can go there and pick one out. Or see if you have a reptile specific pet store near you. Definitely not Petco or Petsmart.
I thought red iguanas were a morph like the blues. So all males will naturally get that red tint?
Water Bottle Correct, red iguanas are the same species but are much more red all over than the orange that the green iguanas tend to be. 🤓
Is male green iguana turn orange when full grown, please reply sir... I want one orange iguana
@@mr.cartoonist1188 It's really just a color they have sometimes. Green, yellow, blue, orange, red, Iguanas come in a bunch of different colors and they tend to brighten or darken as they age. Green Iguana (or Iguana Iguana) is the species name.

How do I get rid of mouth rot
You can use an over the counter anti-fungal cream and put a small amount on and around the affected areas. Clean the area real good first. Make sure you change the water and don't let any food sit in the food dish. Bacteria in bad food or dirty water can cause a nasty infection. There's something called Vetericyn that you can buy at most pet stores which is supposed to work well.

Whats up.. just Bought a male and a female green iguana off underground reptiles trying to tame them they are skittish at times they are yearlings i can hold them and pet them all over they just become scared when im trying to get them out thier enclosure my female dropped her tail 🤦🏽and at times they just runaway after sitting with me for awhile any advice?
Yo. It’s very possible they were farm raised and therefore might take longer to adapt to their enclosures. Give them time to settle in but let them see you from the enclosure. Try offering food from tongs, especially red and orange foods as that will be more appealing. If they are young the tail will fully grow back. Try just petting with hand or other while they eat. Sometimes forcing them to be handled can do the opposite and they associate it with a negative thing. Food is always a good way to show you are friend not foe.

Hey if you get this I need help my iguanas scales are sticking out around his joints
Is the iguana shedding? Sounds strange and without a pic it's hard for us to know if it's an injury, disease or something completely normal. If there's no swelling or growths I wouldn't worry but without a photo I can't even really picture what you mean. You can always email us a photo. natureinyourface19@gmail.com
There are anoles here and there..but they expect me to believe the iguanas are invasive.. me you’re invasive lol. Good video though.
Thanks, glad you liked the video. Not sure what you're trying to say but green iguanas are definitely not native to south Florida. As far as anoles....the only native species in Florida is the green anole (Anolis carolinensis) the others are mainly from off shore islands and they have taken over the Glades.
Nature In Your Face I just don’t agree with killing iguanas man. Terrible thing they do there
@@DJCole34 I would agree that it is unfortunate that the iguanas have to be killed, it's no fault of their own that they ended up as invasive species. Having said that, the alternative is to allow them to continue to breed and decimate the populations of native plant and animal species, ultimately destroying the Everglades. The meat and skins are being harvested and not wasted so I don't see why you see this as something negative. There is no other place on Earth like the everglades and feeling sorry for the invasive iguanas is not a reason to risk losing it forever!
Nature In Your Face they could just capture and release the iguanas in the islands they come from but instead they make it sport.
I want to know when iguanas were first reported In the Everglades.. and how much of the Everglades had been surveyed and what species cataloged before that time... because I think if a human can manage to swim from Cuba to Florida, so could a giant semi aquatic lizard species.. I seriously don’t believe the invasive species narrative.. sure plenty of people have parroted that I just take it with a grain of salt. Especially when I’m seeing a herbivorous species being slaughtered for the hell of it.. seriously twisted solutions .. even if the narrative is true, killing them is not the solution. There’s a side of youtube I can’t even stomach to watch... it’s fun and games.. not a practical solution.
