Green Iguana Lizard Information
Author: Lizard Lounge
Housing Normally, adult Iguanas can grow to 5-6 feet and thus
should be housed in a larger cage. Tall cages or optimal for
this type of lizard as they are tree-dwelling and consequently
would prefer to be as high from the ground as possible. It is
very important to sterilize all branches that will be placed in
the enclosure with a mild bleach solution. The relative humidity
level of the enclosure should be kept at approximately 70-75%,
and this can be obtained by misting the enclosure a couple times
daily. Although many people feel that their Iguana could safely
roam around the house, the opposite is generally true. Not only
do you run the risk of your lizard knocking over it's heat lamp
and starting a fire, it is also common for large amounts of
damage to be done to furniture, carpet, wiring, etc.
Heating Reptiles in general are Ectothermic which means that
they do not produce their own body heat. Thus, reptiles must be
given a combination of both warmer and cooler areas in their
enclosure. This will allow them to choose their own temperature.
Proper heating is vital to a lizards survival, as it allows for
a healthy immune system and proper digestion.
Lighting "Full Spectrum Lighting" is vital to a lizards
survival. When selecting a light source ensure that it provides
ample UVB rays. For Iguanas this is particularly necessary. The
most optimal lightin conditions would provide natural sunlight
to the Iguanas. This however is normally not practical as even a
standard window can filter out the beneficial UVB rays.

The culture of silkworms is called sericulture. The various species of silkworms raised today are distinguished by the quality of the silk they produce. Silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberries (genus Morus) and sometimes on the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera).
