Reptile & Amphibian Forums

well teh store that i work for has a pet deparment.. and tehy are getting better and i ahve been helping out with the pet deparment lately. mostly with the iguanas.. and they have gotten a few bad shipments in lately.. i mean real bad out of the three only one has made it and he is improving real good he actually has weight on him right now..

but my question is. for those of you who have or have had multiple iguanas how do they get along? is there any chance that if i took this one home that he would get along with my igg when he gets bigger? the igg i have right now is the sweetest thing.. nothing bothers him cats dogs he dont care.. my brother has a stuffed ig and we put it next to him and he just goes over to it and chills out..

my store told me i could have him if i want him because i helped him get to where he is now. and i would hate for him to go to someone and get miss treated..

need advice real quick..

one of my igs also does not mind the dog and cat. but put a nasty wound on dracos neck. and tries to attack her and all my other rptiles as soon as he sees them. it does not mean that you should not get the new ig. but you should be careful and dont leave them alone together. and you definently want to have them in different cages. i had two igs in the same cage for along time then out of nowhere el attacked draco in the middle of the night.

when you were considering adopting another Iguana. What were your reasons for deciding against it then? You made a well thought out decision then...have things changed drastically now so that you have the time and space for another lizard?

back in june it was basically my parents that made me go against it...

Im not just going to jump into getting this one.. i was talking to my parents and grandparents last night about it and they dont mind if i get another one.. but i just have to find a place for the cage... so if i free roam the one i have now in my room than i could set the other one up in the closet that is in there.. but my mom said she doesnt know about that because she doesnt want him to get out of my room..

i was thinking about free roaming my big one in my room.. and making shelves that he can go on and bask and get uvb.. but i think he would be happier as a free roamer because he always was a free roamer... and he hates being in his cage..

but what are the biggest problems with free roaming and igg? he is already paper trained.. so thats one thing down..
