National Iguana Awareness Day is celebrated every year on September 8.
The day is observed as the perfect chance to learn more about the good keeping of your pet iguana.
You can learn tips on how to keep your iguana friendly and healthy, and even master a few grooming tricks to make it look dashing.
Iguanas make for great pets for those who are cramped for space or don’t want to spend a lot of time looking after a pet.
These cold-blooded reptiles can be amazing and affectionate pets for many decades if they are given proper care and attention.
Iguanas are fascinating creatures, they are cold-blooded reptiles with an amazing active tail, but annoy them a little bit and you might end up with an awful bite.
Iguanas are native to South and Central America.
Iguanas didn’t always exist in America, it is believed that they came to the country on cargo boats.
Over the years the iguana population rapidly multiplied and they are now commonly seen in the Florida Keys as squirrels in the Midwestern U.S.
Even though they have existed in America for a long time now, these cold-blooded colorful reptiles are not safeguarded from hunting or pet collection.
Many Florida residents have taken these iguanas to their homes and turned them into pets.
While the iguana owners may be well-intentioned, not all new owners of these baby iguanas realize that a tiny iguana will one day develop scales and grow to a length of six feet.
Iguanas need special care since they have very specific dietary needs. It is easy to love an iguana and even introduce young children to it, but taking care of these cold-blooded colored reptiles is no easy feat.
