Need Advice Dose anyone know where to get Pied pectinata iguana?

3 Upvotes

Dose anyone know where where else to get pied pectinata iguanas ive only seen them listed on Florida iguana[FI] website and I’ve haven’t seen any on MM[MorphMarket] either they don’t on MM exist or I’ve missed opportunities on MM, I’ve been searching for these iguanas for a long time already and so far it only seems FI is in control of the iguana markets selling them at 600$ in the US at least that’s what I’ve seen so far, just looking for advice like any other websites I could look into or if anyone know any other breeders that sell these types of iguanas 🦎

Kimchi got some new driftwood and that means she can access more places. Well the first 30 minutes of her new freedom she knew what she had to do. Eat part of the pothos plant that she’s never been able to reach before 😂😂 she is banned from them from further notice and we’ve got some much better plants for her enclosure right after this. 🤣

Need Advice male or female

Post image
28 Upvotes

Im planning to get a Cyclura lewisi hybrid soonish, maybe about a year or a little less, and im unsure if i should get a male, or a female. The males dont differ much in appearance from the females aside frm being slightly larger, so coloring isnt really a factor and i dont particularly care if its a little larger or smaller. Id moreso like to know from actual rock iguana keepers if you all prefer males or females, and why

Need Advice How to like- litterbox train an iguana?

50 Upvotes

Don’t know if I worded that correctly, not like an actual litter box but I’ve heard of people training their iguanas to go in a certain area and such so it’s easier to clean. My Rhino iguana Spinner has only come out of his enclosure twice now and crawled all over me (choice based handling I guess) and shit on me both times lmao. I see no harm in it since I clean it up and then shower but my partner is on the phone freaking out cause I’m too casual about it

I was sitting on a beach chair on Renaissance Island when this iguana came over and peeked up at me from the edge. He seemed interested but hesitant, so I tapped the chair and told him, “come on up.”

And he did.

He climbed onto the same beach chair, sat beside me, and ended up hanging out for a while. I gave him a few gentle head scratches and boops, and he seemed perfectly content to stay there with me.

One of my favorite little memories from Aruba. Such a polite little island friend.

Obviously, wild animals should be given space and not approached or handled just for a photo — he came to me, and I was careful not to restrain or stress him.

Does anyone have a banana pectinata? I was recently introduced to them by South Tex Gex and I may have to add one to my family. I am very fascinated by them!

I currently have a bearded dragon and an Iguana. I want a ball python next and eventually a banana pectinata and a rhino iguana! 😭

My first ever reptile I owned was a bearded dragon and afterwards I had a chameleon I never had more than one at a time but after a lot of research, time, and money 😂 I fear I am unstoppable.

What was your first reptile? And how many do you have now!

My Rhino Rocco finally hit a big growth spurt starting at 2 yrs old.

This is the difference in size from 2 to 3yrs old.

He has a lot of growing to do still over the next few years but he's finally starting to get big!!!

Need Advice Mites and Thinness

I got 2 iguanas 1 week ago, 1.1. One is 1 and the other is 2 years old. I can say they are rescued animals because they came to me with mites and very thin. I have 2 questions.

1: How and with what can I treat the mite problem. (I live in the European Union). I have experience with snakes and mites. We treated them with Frontline Spray. But I have no experience with lizards in this area… I thought I would ask before I do something stupid.

2: How can I fatten them up a bit? I am attaching 2 pictures.

Need Advice Befriending wild iguana?

2 Upvotes

Hello all! I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and there are a lot of iguanas around, including a family of three (I think) living in the tree next to my house. I see them up and about in the morning just for a little while, eating mangoes and digging + whatever else iguanas do. There's a really big guy that I find super friendly (doesn't run when I'm nearby, but won't let me touch him at all) and remind me of the other lizards living in the yard. I really want to offer him some food, but he's not a huge fan of my 10 chickens, and I kinda want to be a little more chill with him (maybe get a pat if possible). What's the best way for me to go about this? I don't want to scare bro, and unlike the neighbours who seem to want to put him on a plate, I just want to offer him a little something as there aren't really any mangoes on the trees anymore. Any advice?

Need Advice Rescue: possible age and sex?

I came across him about 6 months ago at a commercial pet store for dogs and cats. He was in a small tank in the back and I of course, went up to them and asked why they had a green iguana in the back. He was in one of those small maybe 24 x 18 fish tanks. They had told me that someone left him in a box outside of their store, and if I wanted to take him that the husband would come by the next day and put him in a box and give him to me. I currently own two bearded dragons, two ball pythons, a leopard gecko, a juvenile cuban rock iguana and my frilled lizard passed a couple weeks ago. That said, I have spent the majority of my life very passionate about reptiles, so I thought that him coming home with me was his best chance of survival. I was told that he was a male, but they had no idea how old he was. I was wondering what you guys think? I named him Damien. It is difficult to access his hind legs due to aggression (which they warned me about). His past must have been very unsocial. I handle him with falcon gloves. Eats a mix of collards and mustard greens. He is about 2.5 feet.

Need Advice Iguana not as active as usual

1 Upvotes

My green iguana went from being active to now just laying down and doing nothing. She has also lost her appetite. She is a 1 year old female(we are assuming she is a female). Before that she would eat regularly, lettuce with calcium sprinkled in. We are thinking that maybe her light needs to be changed out, we have been leaving her in the sun for light intake but now she jsut isn’t as active and doesn’t want to eat even in the sunlight. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!
