      @@sussirojas2073 I use megaray 160 watt lamps placed about 18 inches or a little more from basking spot. I do have to be careful for when they get bigger, their spines get closer to the light and can burn the spines. in that case, I'll hang the light from a hook from the ceiling so I can bring the light up.

      Lenore Osorio sometimes they’re like a cat. Sometimes like you, sometimes not. But also could be many other things. Maybe breeding season. Or it felt threatened. Maybe it’s in pain. So many reasons why it bit you. I love iguanas and would anything for them. But I normally don’t let them get to close to my face. Just Incase. They are still a wild animal. Also I’ve had them not like me after a couple of yrs 🤷🏼‍♂️

    My eguana had a great appetite when I first got her (3 weeks ago) but now all she eats is the romaine lettuce today I got some asparagus and she took a bite, she is going through her first peal and she is really skittish but I still took her out last night. Every time I take her out she takes a big poop but I was under the impression that they don't pee but it sure seems like that then she takes a big poop every time!!! Can you please tell me what you think???

    • @crazyscalesiguanas1838
      @crazyscalesiguanas1838  2 года назад +2

      Iguanas don’t have bladders, like birds. It is a good sign to see a lot of liquid in there poop. As far as the appetite, some iguanas do eat less during a shed but some don’t. See if she’ll eat collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale. See if she starts eating after she sheds. You can help her shed by daily baths. Thank you for watching and hopefully that helps.

    So would you need to feed a female iguana extra when she was eggs and what nutrients would you need to give her. How would you dispose or get rid of the eggs

    • @crazyscalesiguanas1838
      @crazyscalesiguanas1838  3 года назад

      I don’t know what you feed yours, but just keep giving her as much as she can eat. As she becomes more gravid, she will start to eat less. But leave enough for her to pick at through out the day. The eggs are eggs. You can toss them in the trash. You can feed them to an animal that likes eggs. Some people eat them. I know, gross right? And sometimes the female will reabsorb them. Hope that helps.

I'm getting ready to put it in a bigger home so when you see white in there pee and poop does this mean they are a male?

    • @crazyscalesiguanas1838
      @crazyscalesiguanas1838  2 года назад

      Iguanas don’t have bladders . When they use the bathroom you should see 3 parts. The white stuff, the clear stuff and then the mostly solid brown stuff. If you don’t see a lot of clear stuff this could mean the iguana is dehydrated, also if you notice the poop looking like rabbit or goat poop that could also mean it’s dehydrated. If you don’t see a good amount white stuff this could mean that its not getting enough minerals and nutrients in its diet. As far as the behavior of the animal, it would be impossible for me to help. To many variables as to why she acts the way she does. If you follow me on Instagram, you can send me pics and short videos. You can show me how you pick her up and I can see her in closure . Stuff like that. @Crazyscales69 . I’m looking forward to helping you 👍🏻

      Sussi Guadarrama sorry, I do not. But I don’t have any iguanas for sale either. I’m 4 yrs in on a 6 yr project. And just 1-2 yrs on other 6 yr projects. It’s possible some project can be just 4 yrs. Unfortunately trying to sell norms or reds or even normal blues doesn’t really pay anything because of shipping cost. I sell at local shows or to people I come across here in Louisiana. But I keep most of the last 2 yrs because I’m working with 50% hets. So until they breed I won’t know who has what genes and even then I may have to rotate males to different female groups. But thank you so much for your support, you’re awesome.
