Nuria from Desert Habitats explains how to care for green iguanas in captivity, covering temperature, humidity, and common health problems caused by poor conditions.
Hello, we are a desert habitats. My name is Nuria and we are here to introduce you to the green iguana. The common iguana are also called the iguana. Iguana, this animal is found throughout South America. It can even be found in Brazil. They are very peculiar animals due to the way they live, where they are and a bit of everything. Okay. They need to have a temperature between 25, 26 and 28 degrees to be healthy. Their humidity level is between 60 and 70%. What you have to take into account with these animals is the humidity. Because if they do not have the right humidity, more bone formations can occur both in the jaw and in the legs. And in all of them. We have a case of a well known client. Well, a well known client to whom we delivered the terrarium. And when we saw how the iguana was, her entire jaw was deformed by humidity. She was advised to change the terrarium and put it in its exact conditions. A tropical terrarium with a waterfall. With above all the correct temperature and the correct humidity. She started to be given plenty of vitamins and we saw the animal a short time ago and the animal is in perfect condition. This one for example is familiar to me and well, it is a super domesticated animal. The difference between taxa is based on their little horns. Let's see if you can show me the little horns they have here on their snouts. Thank you for watching these videos. I hope they have been helpful when it comes to keeping exotic animals in captivity.
