Well here is one pic of my tegu iguana community...but if you want to see more go to the tegu photo gallery.

Just a warning if you have them on particulate ground covering then there is a very large chance they will eat some and get impacted! And what are you feeding them? What about humidity and UVB?

I use a full spectrum of UVA and UVB.Day time temp are around 27-30ºC with basking spots of 38-39ºC. I feed the iguanas with a dish of vegetables and the tegus canned cat food and sometimes eggs.

What type of UVB? How can you guarantee that the igs arent eating the cat food and the eggs? You know it causes kidney failure for them to have animal proteins right? What types of veggies?

Also for your temps they are too low for an iguana.. my igs have atleast a 94 degree basking spot... and nothing less than about 74 at night... which is important for proper food digestion.. what about humidity? Are you prepaired to house each of the iguanas seperatly in atleast a cage 7 foot long 6 foot high and 3 feet wide?

lol..dont worry, im always intrested in them feeding so i dont missed a bit when i feed them. The iggies do get close to the plate of eggs or cat food but once they taste a bit with the tongue they leave it and let the tegus finish it up. As for veggies...: lettuce, tomatoe, apple, grapes(very little occasions), cucumber. They seem to not like carrots, so no...

Go to the link I provided... It shoes what they can be fed and how often the foods are fed.... DARK LEAFY greens are a MUST and should make up 95 percent of their diet.. Collard, mustard turnip and dandelion greens are the best ones.

You may also want to check out www.greenigsociety.org for information on their proper housing, lighting, and set-ups in general.
