I don't really want to continue this thread, but you have to kill the stuff like e-coli, giardia, and other bacteria in the water with something right? We have...
UV sterlizers are coming on line in a local city--pretty elegant in the sense that light is killing off the bacteria versus using chemicals to do the job. I...
One problem we've had with UV sterilized spring water that we've ordered from Wards is the growth of algae in the supposedly-sterile water. I'm assuming that...
Hello, We have an iguana we rescued about three years ago. She had been kept in a 20 gallon fish tank for 10 years or so and had, obviously, outgrown it. Her...
My guess is that the infection spread inside the tail up through the muscle and maybe the spinal cord upwards.She will need to have it partially removed and...
They are smarter than people think. They can be taught through behavioral techniques, just like all of us, dogs, horses, cats (I take that back), etc. My old...

Hi, It sounds like he is getting his nails caught on something on the cage. How many nails did he lose yesterday? He could be weak due to anemia if he lost...
Hi, I know the thread on chloramine has been continuing and probably boring some, but now I am paranoid about my water. We have city water. It has 2.83 ppm...
I disagree with this...My female has a plastic coated wire cage and when she thought she was gravid, she pulled out her nails. I believe it is more of a...
Iguana can injure themselves easily--some seem to, some don't. We have used coated, plastic, non-coated--nail may be ripped out--and one reason is that an ig...
Morning everyone! I currently have 7 GreenKids. The 3 big kids (2 females 10+ years old 48" 1 male 6+ years old 44") live in the "sunroom" out back and the 4...
Chloramine is harmful and deadly to reptiles. To block the affects of it,use an ammonia blocker such as AMMO-LOCK. Just put 10 drops in the warm mist tank when...
Part of this disagreement hinges on where and how deep the wound is. After an iguana is spayed, vets recommend 3-6 weeks of no soaks. Misting is ok....

I saved this ig from a guy that found her trying to climb a tree in the wild with fukked up toes and possibly gravid and he was going to turn her loose again...
Michael Thank you for saving this ig, we need more people like you. What did the Vet say about her toes? Did the Vet say she was gravid? If so, you will have...
