1)How old is your Ig?
2)How large of an enclosure do you have to house your Ig (dementions)
3)Do you house multiple animals together
4)Do you breed your Igs? Are they put together only during breeding?

Any housing pics would be appreciated

LEEWAY CORUCIA RESEARCH CENTER (LCRC)

One successful enclosure measures 20' x 5' Being a Saxicolous species, two rock caves are present. Many branches exist in the upper portion with Green Iguanas present for that niche level. The Cyclura occupying the lower levels. On more than one Cyclura, It depends on the individual. You may only be able to run with one, in other scenarios, several.

Sincerely,
Brian

I'm probably not the ideal person to answer this since I raise all of my Cyclura to be house pets. I freeroam my Cyclura when they reach 2 years of age. Usually they are confined to a room with house roaming time when I am at home. Bubbles, my 5 year old female, was a freeroamer. Last fall she decided she liked spending time in the converted basement where most of the rescue Iguanas are, specifically in a 5Wx5Dx7H cage. There is a basking shelf 4 feet off the ground where she spends most of her time with Scrub, a 4 year old male. They do come out and roam during the daytime. I am boping that they will breed and Scrub has tried on many occasions...Bubs just isn't very receptive yet. Loofah, the 2 year old male, lives in my bedroom. Azul and MiMi live in the back lizard room. My new hatchling lives in a cage, of course.
