The Salmonella thing basis is this: chickens and iguanas have diferent comensal Salmonella species in their gut and tissues and if one kind ended up in a diferent host it could cause some damage like it does to us. Ive seen toises and lizards coming to the practise I give advice to, with really bad gastroenteritis caused often as it turns out by Salmonella. And they often die, really nasty. However Salmonella is a opurtunistic injection and on thouse herps it deponds on a down in bodys defences, often caused by stress, low temps, overcrowding,etc to invade. Heck probably your iguanas are so happy that they will live to a ripe old age without any kind of trobble. Like I said your situation is diferent, unfornatly for us then the one of the average hobbist. I wish we all could have our iguanas permanently under allmost none stop sun ligth... By the way just made a visit to your web site. Man that blue iguana is...BLUE. Now excusse me, I have to go catch my drool lol
