I know for a fact that they are safe and healthy when treated exactly like green iguanas. Even though they are opportunistically omnivorous, they do perfectly ok as captive vagetarians. And they like slightly higher basking temps. My C. palearis likes to bask at about 110 F., my adult female C. similis likes it at about 100 F., but I let them choose it, I don't force it on them. Any spiney-tailed iguanid would do ok at basking temps of 95 F. and high humidity.

A good source for green iguana care:
