Well....i guess because i have money and can buy 100s of iguanas i don't know what i am doing (didn't say it but implied.) That's OK because that comes from some one who is totally stuck and are not willing to learn...oh well. FYI, all my animals are going great and yes I am learning all the time...even though I have been keeping reptiles for more than 50 years. I know Robert E. and he has visited my facility and I have visited his. He keeps most if not all Cycluras outdoors close to Key West. I know you talked to him but I don't believe he told you that hot spot of 100 to 110 is correct. To me...that is insanely low for keeping Cycluras. He might do fine when healthy but you are not giving him any chance for him to get to a temperature he needs...especially if he gets sick. I have noticed in the past that lizards choose to give themselves "fever" when they are not well. Since you are doing fine, keep doing what you are doing and since you are throwing Robert E. name around here, please ask him to respond here directly. We have two different opinions here...that's great...that is how we learn...from different opinions. I just hate it when the information provided can harm iguanas that I love dearly and in most cases that would be true if hottest spot in the cage is only between 100 to 110.
