Iguanas, originating from Central and South America, come in a variety of fascinating species, each with distinct colors, sizes, and needs. Some of the most popular pet types include the Green Iguana, known for its vibrant color, and the Desert Iguana, which is smaller and more heat-tolerant. These reptiles are appreciated for their unique appearance and long lifespans, often living up to 20 years with proper care.
Each iguana type has specific care requirements and temperaments. For example, the Red Iguana is similar to the Green Iguana but has striking red hues, while the Cuban Rock Iguana is larger and tends to be more docile. However, most iguanas share traits like needing ample space, heat, and humidity control to thrive.
Adopting an iguana requires commitment due to their large enclosure needs and specific dietary requirements. Iguanas can be calm pets when properly socialized but may become aggressive if they feel threatened. Understanding each species' needs ensures a healthier, happier life for these unique reptiles.
