New female Cuban Rock Iguana!!!

[TOPIC AUTO-LOCKED DUE TO INACTIVITY]

Here's our new female! We got him from a guy who's been unemployed for a year. His reptiles have been living at a friends pet store for a while. We met at the pet store during a reptile club meeting and he met our female and male. We got a call the next day asking if we'd like to buy her. We've been very short of money but we couldn't pass her up!







This is the link to our other female.

I forgot to post the pics of the females together.







The new (smaller) one finally decided she was going to be dominant and stepped up on the others tail. I should have taken a pic but I wasn't sure what was going to happen next.

[DaveDragon]

[DaveDragon]

They don't climb much. But then they live in tanks at the moment.

They're very similar. Cuban grow much slower than Greens. If you get a Cuban you won't have a 5 foot monster in 2 years, it could take 10-15 years for a Cuban to get that big. But the Cubans get much thicker than Greens.

o cool.... yeah, i think if i decide to ever get another ig, it prolly wont be a green one.... i wana try something new lol.... i still cant get over their colors...their soooo beautiful... lol the only color on godzilla that i think is almost as pretty as the cuban rock igs is the neon blue he has lol....

We also have a Cayman Blue/Cuban hybrid, who will be 1 year old next month. He's a total spaz, bounces off the walls when I walk by his tank. He's starting to lighten up and show the patterns on his back. I need to take some pics of him.

are iguanas like beardies when it comes to a life in solitude or can they be housed together?

Their very terratorily (sorry for my spelling) they are very solitude... why?

[DaveDragon]

They can be housed together if you have a lot of square footage for them, otherwise they will get territorial. Even if they get along, that could change at any time, especially during breeding season. Ours will always live separately.
