Generally, they exist in abundance in the deserts and rainforest regions. They have a variety of species. The iguanas mostly live on the nature and can adjust easily with their surroundings. Some species are living in deserts while others live in rainforest. Even a few species have their dwelling in sea. It helps them to digest their food and stay healthy. You should monitor the temperature in their cage with a thermometer. There should be a warm place to bask with a temperature around 110 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a spotlight for this purpose. Heat tape, under tank heaters and ceramic lights are some of the other alternatives. The nose abrasions: When iguana is suffering from nose abrasions the reptile tries many times to escape and gets the nose scraped or scratched with enclosures. The nose scrapes are resulted from wires, plastic or glass used for their enclosure of cages. If these abrasions are not treated, there is formation of ulcerian sostrum, infection with bacteria and disfiguring of nose. Water: Generally, iguanas quench their thirst for water by the vegetation consumed from plants and the food they take. In addition, they will take water when inside the tank from wood and leaves inside their tank. Iguanas also take bath and their bodies get the water. The pets will get habituated in the shelter in tank with the water. Baby iguanas also have some crucial requirements to be furnished similar to those for any other pet. They are simple and not much fussy like many other pets for a specific food, but you have to make the things perfect for them to live and grow. Naturally, you will not allow them to get ill and ultimately expire before they become grown up young iguanas. Breeding: Their breeding season comes in spring season, the night before it starts raining late in the month of May. The females dig the tunnels for laying eggs. The tunnel is about one meter in length and can keep 34 eggs. The laying of eggs starts in early in August. The eggs will hatch after six months.
