Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a male Cuban Rock Iguana and I want to get him 2 females.Can I house them all in the same cage?His cage is 12x12x7 with 2 shelves 3/4 of the way around it and 2 large cubby holes at the top.There are lots of hiding places and a visual barrier down the center that separates the hot side from the cool side.The floor is heated.

I am building an outdoor cage next month and Im going to make it so The iguanas can go inside or outside whenever they want.The outside section will be about the same size as the inside section unless Im told here that it needs to be bigger.

I am in northern CA.Sacramento Area.

Sorry the info is so mixed up,I was just trying to give as much info as I can to help with reply's.

Yes you can. In the wild males of the genus Cyclura will naturally have a harem of females throughout the year whether Rhinoceros or in your case cuban. Make sure in your enclosure design that the females will have access to platforms or massive hideboxes in the breeding season as the male will continually attempt to breed the females during the breeding season. Also make sure there is enough space in the enclusure where each animal may have their own space.

Hi - Ditto what reptiles123 commented. I once inheirited someone elses unsuccessful breeding 1.2 adult cubans. As a cornuta breeder, I observed that this male nubila was brutally mean to the females, and appear to have slightly larger teeth than cornuta for the same sized iguana. Major emphasis would be to make sure each ig has his own space, and consider removing the male once successful breeding has occurred as he will then become a stressful hinderance to successful egg laying. Good Luck

Some do fine together others not. I had a trio and the females constantly fought and during egg laying time it got pretty brutal and had to sell one. Good luck
