Hi everyone! I'm so excited to have finally found a good desert iguana resource, I'm reading all the posts and they've been so informative.

I have a few questions--I got a desert iguana last october and I love him to bits. I would like to get a buddy for my iguana and house them together. Is this possible? I've seen posts describing up to three housed together, but do they have to be introduced by a certain age, or does sex matter? My iguana is around a year old and I *think* it is a male. Would I be able to safely introduce one new iguana of either gender? If not, is there a reptile of similar temperment with similar needs that would do well with him?

Secondly, I'm just looking for some feeding suggestions. My guy lives primarily off dandylion greens (and the flowers during the summer) and baby bok choy, with occasionally a bit of romaine or peas. Is this okay? I've tried offering collard and mustard greens but he refuses them, he also doesn't like shredded carrot. I want to find other flowers I can offer him that are easily obtainable--is there a complete list somewhere of safe flowers? He likes yellow, but are daffodils or daisys safe?

Thanks so much, I look forward to your answers!
