EnRICHing the iguana/keeper relationship through accurate care information and compassionate re-homing.


THINGS THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU AT THE PET STORE


 

Congratulations! You just acquired your first Green Iguana. Maybe you bought a hatchling at a pet store. Or even better yet, you adopted an iguana from a rescue. But you're not sure if it's a male or female.  Or you’re not sure how to care for it properly. You need quality information that will give you the tools to make your iguana thrive.  That is the purpose of Resource for Iguana Care and Adoption.

 

 Iguanas are not for everyone and they require specialized care. But if you are willing to commit to it’s proper husbandry, are willing to house a lizard that can grow to six feet long, and weigh up to 15 pounds, and are willing to give it the veterinary care that any other captive pet deserves, you will engage with an animal that is intelligent, fascinating, sometimes aloof, sometimes affectionate, always a challenge. And your life will never be the same. Welcome to the wonderful, wild, wacky world of the Great Green Iguana.


Iguanas need daily handling to keep them tame.
