Now, its time to think about the heating and lighting within your iguana’s habitat. Even if you purchase a pre made habitat, you’ll still need to find ways to keep him warm enough and to keep him getting the necessary light he needs.
Heating
The heating in your iguana’s habitat is quite important to the well being of your iguana. There are many considerations to think about here, though. The good news is that this chapter will tell you all you need to know about the heat sources and needs of your iguana.
Why They Need Heat
The first consideration that you have is just why the iguana needs heat and what that level is. We’ve already mentioned that providing heat to your iguana is required to maintain its health.
Within your habitat, you’ll need to provide a location that can provide basking heat to your iguana. Generally, this area should be able to get to the middle 90’s in temperature. (All temperatures in this e-book are listed in Fahrenheit.) The rest of the air within the habitat should be maintained no less than 75 degrees, but better if it is closer to 80. The final need is to offer a range of temperatures within the habitat to allow him to move around as he feels comfortable.
Now, to accomplish this, there are several things you should and shouldn’t do.
First, purchase several attachment thermometers. Place these in various area of the habitat so that they can be easily read by you from outside the enclosure.
