Product Description

Product Description

Big, green, scaly, and surprisingly cuddly, a well–adjusted iguana is like a cross between large, friendly dog and an independent cat. On the other hand, a poorly trained iguana can be a living nightmare. With his muscular, three–to–four–foot–long tail and 116–120 razor–sharp teeth, a nasty iguana can be a genuine danger to life, limb and property.  Iguanas require a constant 90–degree Fahrenheit environment and lots of room to range around in.

Iguanas For Dummies lets you take a long, well–informed look before leaping into the exotic world of iguanas. Written by one of the most respected experts on the care and feeding of iguanas, this fun, entertaining book fills you in on everything you need to know to successfully adopt, nurture, live with and love an iguana. You’ll discover how to:

  • Decide if an iguana is right for you
  • Feed and house your iguana properly
  • Keep your iguana healthy
  • Bond with your scaly friend
  • Integrate your green amigo into your life
  • Socialize and train your mini–dinosaur

Ideal for first–time and veteran iguana owners alike, Iguanas For Dummies is a gold mine of advice, guidance and tested–in–the–trenches tips on:

  • Iguanas 101: history, anatomy, physiology and different species
  • What you should know and what to look for when shopping for an iguana
  • Housing your iguana—includes tips on buying or building an enclosure and how to create a safe environment for a free–roaming iguana
  • How to feed your iguana and how often
  • Health issues, concerns and treatments
  • Breeding iguanas for fun and profit

Whether you’re thinking about getting an iguana, or you already have a whole herd of big green herbivores, this fun, friendly guide will answer all your questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iguanas for Dummies, 12 Aug 2003
This book is an absolute godsend. It has become my bible. It answered all the questions i had with a great deal of humour. The cartoons at the start of each chapter were hilarious.
It is easy to read & understand. More important it has so much more information that was lacking in other books i had looked at. I even take to the vets with me !
Melissa has captured the whole of an iguanas personality. It really made me laugh at points. I thought i was the only person in the world with a bad tempered iguana. Its good to know i'm not alone.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty good book but very patchy, 8 Nov 2000
By cazzdevil1@aol.com (kent,united kingdom) - See all my reviews
i have just recently purchased this book and found it with a great index great as a reference book or read cover to cover. BUT i found it very very patchy especially in some of the breeding bits ESPECIALLY on the eggs,eggs and more eggs section.there was a sentance on the actual egg laying which was very dissapointing no help to tell you if what the iguana would look like when laying eggs if something was wrong etc. i have just recently lost an iguana and had no idea the egg laying went wrong i referred to this book for help and found none but to wait. NOT VERY GOOD advice. but overall i must admit the book is good.
