They may love the cool air coming from my air conditioner, but it’s just too dry to leave them in that environment separate from additional moisture
Taking care of these fully grown iguanas has turned out to be much trickier than I had first anticipated. Back when I was a child all I wanted when I grew up were pet lizards. I enjoyed our cats so much, but I was regularly fascinated by the anole lizards that populate my area. Some of them are a dark muddy brown with interesting diamond patterns on their scales while others are almost black, plus even more of them are a pale purple haze color. I enjoyed watching them crawl around my window ledge on the other side of the glass, plus I focused on them intently. Eventually I’d own a pet lizard all to myself, I would say in my thoughts. When day finally came to own my iguana, I was tempted into buying a hour a single after they told myself and others they were all siblings. Now I have a big reptile enclosure that seems insufficient as they both ballooned in size. Iguanas also need a minimal level of humidity in their environment, they cannot absorb enough moisture in non-stop dry air. Occasionally you can get away with simply misting the inside of their enclosures, however I love to use a humidifier plus a temperature/humidity meter to watch the levels throughout the day. I can pinpoint the exact moisture level that is ideal for keeping all my iguanas healthy plus comfortable. They may love the cool air coming from my air conditioner, but it’s just too dry to leave them in that environment separate from additional moisture. I love these iguanas, but they’re a lot of work. If I was ever going to get a pet again, I’d truly just settle on having a dog or a cat.
