Iggys have that personality, somewhat like a dog. It would be hard for me to get rid of my herps, but I could never get rid of my cat, and Im sure your IG is much more rewarding than my horrible cat.

right now I have my igg, a waterdragon, RES, adult boa constrictor imperator, golden gecko, a oscar (fish), and emperor scorpian, and a Tarantula... seriously downscaled from the summer when I had a Tegu, 6 Bearded Dragons, another igg, 2 ball pythons, a corn and a watersnake on top of that

Glad to hear you've downscaled. I'd like to know more about how you care for your ig: Diet, Housing, Lighting, UVB. I'd also like to know where you learned to care for your ig: what books, websites, etc. you use a resources.

hmm probeing for info eh... well this is my 2nd igg. i used to have a large female rhino. when I was liveing with my parents... but they made me sell it when I told them I needed a room to make a viv lol. i feed him a diet of a whole whack of mixed veggies. i give him honeydew melon and cantalop as a treat every few weeks or so... i use the "iguana salad" recipe from Trishas site. i have him in a 100g repterium right now. hes still small with a iguanalight 5.0 or whatever its called 48" tube. i use exotera 150W infrared light for heat and a undertank heater... very similiar setup to my WD exept for the decor. i have a large piece of sterilized driftwood that is perfect for climbing and creats natural perches!. ive never baught a book because I find that I can get better info from the net. i also use my friend who owns and runs a rescue that mainly deals with iggs right now... i mainly use trishas and melissas webpages for info. i have a large watertube thats 10g I think with about 3" of water in it. anything else?

Yep, probing for info.

Your info sounds good, just a few questions. Is the focus of your diet greens? How are the temps in the enclosure?
