They have different requirements, so please dont try to keep both together!

Male iguanas, when they are in the breeding season, will try to mate with whatever they find in front of them including your BTS!!

Iguanas should not eat animal protein so the BTS food, like boiled eggs, tuna (with water, not oil),chicken, adult dog food (less protein than puppie food), if consumed by the iguana, can cause its death!

BTS love to eat poop (its gross but its true!) so if yout BTS start eating your iguana poop this will probably change your BTS's intestinal flora (English spelling?)and make more difficult for to BTS to digest its own food!



About the floor i think if it has some disadvantages,it has some advantages too. Its true that on the first day the skink will have difficulties to walk on it. But they will learn very fast and after the first day they will move around without problems. The advantages is that they will never crawl on their own poop! The cage's floor is always spotless!The only contact they have with their own feces is when they do their business inside their bowl of water.But of course i change the water as soon as i see it is dirty!

But i dont recommend any wood shavings for a closed or indoors cage.They have fumes that can intoxicate your pet! I use them only beacuse my cages are placed outdoors, in a very, very ventilated area(my balcony).



About my igs, James, i have 6.4 adults and 2 juvies. Some of them are rescues that i found dying (literally) in bad pet shops.

All my adults reached 1, 5 m (around 5 feet) at the age of 3!



The one you saw on my previous message is Godzilla. He is around 7/8 years old.I bought it in Indonesia, in a filthy street pet market. He was nothing but bones when i bought/rescued him. The green one you saw on the photo with the BTS is THOR. He never attacked my BTSs when they shared the same cage.Both BTSs trust him a lot and feel very confident when he is around.He is 3 years old and only his body (snout to vent) is almost 20 inches!



The one you can see below is TREX.He is 3 years old and a little bit more than 1m 5.
