Green iguanas are some of the most striking and impressive lizards available to reptile enthusiasts. Reaching lengths of nearly 7 feet and clad in incredibly beautiful colors, iguanas immediately draw the attention of everyone in their presence. This size makes them inappropriate pets for many, but those with the resources and dedication necessary to care for these amazing animals will surely find them to be rewarding pets. As when caring for any animal as a pet, keepers must learn as much as possible about the biology, behavior and ecology of green iguanas, in order to provide them the highest quality of life possible. Begin inside, by learning about these interesting lizards, their place in the world and how to provide them with an artificial habitat that meets their needs.
