    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Well I wanted to ask two questions on behalf of my green Iguana "Twinkie"
Okay, here we go...


1.) Every time I get him out, hold him...then I put him back in his cage and wherever I set him down in his cage....he licks it. o_O
What is he doing?


2.) Is Fluorescent lighting alright for Iguana's? I have a purple black light (I put where the strip light supposed to go on his cage) So I put it on his cage, and he like tried to jump on the screen where the light was. I thought I should ask about this first, so I turned it off. He might of didnt like the lighting or something. or it hurt his eyes. *shrugs*
 
As far as question 1.) I think he likes the taste of his cage

2.) Iguana's need UV light. With that said, if you have a UV light bulb and he can see the sun, he will sit in the sunlight. They thrive on sunlight, in helps their metabolism, heals their bodies, and makes them feel good. I try to get my iguanas sunlight everyday, light bulbs will never be able to replace the sun. Black lights are fun, but useless for iguanas. Good luck with him.
 
A lot of lizards lick things, its not because they like the taste, it's because they are testing it, like a puppy or baby putting things in their mouths, same principle. Also, like snakes they do have some scent receptors in their tongues, so they are also smelling it.

Black lights are no good for reptiles, get rid of it!
