Iguanas

Iguanas are a omnivores lizard that live in tropical areas and most of them live in Mexico,central america,the carribean, and southern Brazil. Iguanas are pretty big they can reach a size of about five to six feet and that's including their tail. Most iguanas weigh about eleven pound and that's on average, some can be bigger or smaller depending on their diets. These lizards are active during the day and mucnch on flowers  and fruits that they can find laying around. They also tend to live near water so they don't have to go far for a drink. Iguanas are so tough that they can survive a fall from about forty feet in the air and still survive which is pretty amazing. If threatened the iguana will jump from the branch that it is on and land in water or on solid ground. They are excellent swimmers so that's also another reason that they tend to live towards water as an escape route from predators. They have strong jaws with razor-sharp teeth and sharp tails, which make up half their body length and can be used as whips to drive off predators. They can also detach their tails if caught and will grow another without permanent damage. The green iguana is arguably the most common reptile in the pet trade today. Green iguanas are readily available and almost one million are imported into the United States annually as babies. If kept properly, green iguanas live to be 15 to 20 years old. If you are to have an iguana as a pet you will need at the least a twenty gallon tank to keep it in as babies but as they get bigger they will need a much bigger cage. Most people build them in closures outside and keep them their as adults because they are so big. Iguanas need lots of heat and as babies one heating bulb will suffice but as adults they will need a
Lot more to keep them nice and warm.
