Saw it on Kingsnake.
Is this for real?
How good is commercial Iguana food? Anyone with experience with it? Good or bad?

I think it is sold in too small portions and is too expensive.
What do u all think?

No way is this food good for Iguanas.They are never supposed to eat corn or poultry by-product meal. Not to mention other ingredients they don't need. It's best to feed them fresh foods. Companies will tell you anything just to sell their wares. Most of it is just junk, that costs much too much.
Glad you posted about it just in case someone thought it was good for their Iggys.

Ingredients:
Corn, Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Wheat Bran, Dehulled Soybean Meal, Poultry By-Product Meal, Cane Molasses, Vegetable Pomace (carrot, celery, beet, parsley, lettuce, watercress, spinach), Limestone, Soy Oil, Dicalcium Phosphate, Calcium Propionate, Salt, Choline Chloride, dl-Methionine, Wheat Middlings, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C), dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E supplement), Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin A Acetate, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Menadione Dimethylpyrimidinol Bisulfate (source of Vitamin K), Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid, Thiamine Mononitrate, Ferrous Sulfate, Manganese Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodate, Sodium Selenite, Artificial Coloring.

Right on.
As soon as I read 'lettuce' I got suspicious.

What ticks me off is, this website is supposed to be about proper info and husbandry, but they allow ads like these to be here, featuring a prodcut that is not beneficial to the animal(s).
