JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 I'm late to this party, as usual. I thought at first it was a Side-Blotched Lizard, pretty close, and sorry but no way in God's Green Earth was it an iguana of any type. I used to keep (short term) quite a few local herps when I lived out west, and in several places these little guys were very common. Like most lizards, they like a warm basking spot, they need a water dish, and you might get by feeding him baby crickets, or other small insects. Sunlight, or full spectrum fluorescent light is very beneficial, but don't leave a glass aquarium in direct sunlight, you will have a baked lizard in no time.

mnorton 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 http://www.rossparkzoo.com/spiny-tailed-iguana.htm If you plan on keeping it, this might be useful and it needs a lot of room, when i had mine i had to get rid of it when it hit 3 feet long and they eat ALOT. Also make sure they have UV and UVB light or they will die of calcium deficiancy. Are you keeping it? pretty cool looking lizard... BrianBrown75 the website you posted is my local zoo now gonna have to go see if they still have one there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
