Yes, vegan diet. Not sure what I am doing different than others except trying to keep them in the north.



First one was "superproducer" female green ig that had been a rescue and fed cottage cheese the beginning of her life (years, but not sure how many years). Laid 82 eggs the first season she was here successfully. Second year laid 105 and then laid her oviduct. She died in spay at the vet presumably from blood loss even tho she was rushed there immediately.



Second one was hybrid cyclura. She was 3 years old and also on vegetarian diet. She was xrayed at dog and cat vet and then taken to herp vet in Mass who did surgery to remove eggs. She died after surgery. Never woke up from anesthesia. On necropsy her organs were "crystalized" for reasons unknown.



They all have vegetarian diets. I have an 18 yr old male green iguana who has been in this house for 16 years. I cant be doing it all wrong.



Thanks,

Carole
