Here is a picture of my Iguana that I just adopted.The guy I got him from took good care of him he had to get rid of him cause he was going to college.He is about 3` with his tail.

Beautiful ig. He looks very well taken care of. Is he about 2 years old? Good luck with him.

The guy I got him from said he isnt more then 2 years old.He rescued them from some bushes in front of his work.He is kinda skinny cause he had him with a female and she ate most of the food.He is also alittle skittesh when I go to pick him up but I think he just needs to get use to his new house.He is in a cage that I got from the guy that is 5`l x 2`w x 2`h but I am going to be building him a new cage soon.

Yeah that cage is kinda small for him. I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old. I'm building the 2 year old a new cage also. If you scroll down there are pics. of my igs. Yours looks a lot like my 2 year old Sam. Here is one of Sam.

Yeah he looks alot like mine.He is alittle fatter then mine but he is eating good now.What size cage are you going to build?I am thinking about making one that is 6`h x 4`d x 8`l but Im not sure yet im still looking at other cages to get ideas.

That sounds like a good enough size. I'm going to go with a cage about that same size. He'll probably need a bigger cage when he is full grown. They say about 8'LX8'HX6'D. Sam is just now starting to put weight back on. We left our 2 igs with the pet store for 9 days over Christmas and when I picked them up they both had lost weight. My little one ED(Ella)is fat as a cow now, but Sam has taken longer to gain weight back. Yours will put on weight after he has time to settle in. I hand feed mine a lot. I like giving them treats like butternut squash. They love squash. Good luck with your ig.

Nice lookin' ig. Congrats.
