"Many people working with amphibians have seen this phenomenon but have not reported it because they don't believe it, or because the thinking is that vertebrates can't shrink," said Judy Stamps, a professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California at Davis.

House Index Pets Caring For Iguanas Submitted by: Fantasia Contrary to popular belief, iguanas are far from the easy pet they are said to be. When considering iguanas as pets there are many things you should think about. HOUSING: First of all, iguanas require much more than an aquarium in the corner. They are natural climbers and need space to do just that. Aquariums are usually the first choice of any reptile owner (probably because they allow for more visibility of your friend). Should you choose an aquarium, be sure to purchase a screen top rather than the traditional closed top. A better choice would be a "basking cage". You can either purchase or build this house. Any enclosure should be at least 3 feet tall with plenty of branches and rocks for climbing and basking. Any branch or rock you decorate his home with should be free of sharp edges and splinters. You don't want him getting anything stuck in his scales. Although carpet looks nice on your floor, your green friend will be much happier with folded newspaper on his. Carpet holds bacteria and germs and requires frequent cleaning. By saving your old newspapers you will have an endless supply of floor coverings for him, and he will have a much more sanitary home. Using corn cob, pebbles, sand or mulch are also no-no's when it comes to his floors. You may think they are more "natural" coverings for him when in reality they are dangerous materials. Should any of these things become lodged in his mouth or under his tongue you would have a very sick creature to contend with.

Most of the exotic species of Santa Fe were unharmed initially, but scientists have said the spill has had unexpected consequences. The percentage of iguana deaths within a year of the accident proves that even a low-level spill can cause serious damage. Martin Wikelski, an eco-physiologist at Princeton University in New Jersey, told Reuters: "It is quite devastating. At the wrong time it could have totally wiped out this population." Most of the 800,000 gallons of oil that spewed from the tanker was dispersed by strong ocean currents, sparing the world's rarest sea creatures and birds which inhabit the islands west of Ecuador's coast in the Pacific Ocean. But by carefully monitoring the number of iguanas before and after the accident, Wikelski and his colleagues discovered that enough trace oil remained to kill more than half of the iguanas on Santa Fe.

FAMILY IGUANIDAE The iguanas, with 700 species grouped in over 50 genera, are among the lizard families that have the greatest number of forms. Today they are found only on the South American continent and the islands surrounding it, in Madagascar, and the islands of Fiji and Tonga. The green iguana Iguana iguana ), reaching lengths of over seven feet, is the second largest of all lizards, after the monitors. A strongly built powerful lizard, with a broad head and long sharp claws, the green iguanas are found in the whole of the tropical humid regions of Latin America, where adults feed almost entirely on plant material. It is an arboreal lizard preferring to climb in the tropical vegetation along riverbanks in search of succulent leaves soft fruits. An excellent swimmer, the green iguana often drops from the overhanging vegetation into the river below, easily traveling long distances to new feeding areas. It is characterized by its greenish to greenish-brown coloration and a large dorsal crest of soft spines along the back and tail. Similar spines on the front of the dewlap , particularly conspicuous in mature males, are also characteristic of the green iguanids. Solitary in habit, adult males often enguage in ritual fights, most often begun by head "nodding", but often escalating to striking eachother with their heavy tails and biting. Serious injury is uncommon as the weaker is generally quick to retreat. Breeding season is generally late in the year resulting in 20-40 eggs being buried in the sand banks along the rivers. The young emerge in about 90 days and quickly grow on a diet of worms, snails and insects, maturing at an age of

YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS Virgin Islands Caribbean Area or Create your own Manage alerts What is this? The iguanas, once a common sight on the sparsely populated British Caribbean island of Anegada, have fallen victim to a growing population of feral cats, which eat young iguanas after they hatch. Although there were once thousands of the iguanas living in Anegada, a dry, scrubby island of 15 square miles (39 square kilometers), current estimates put the wild population at fewer than 300. The Anegada rock iguana, or Cyclura pinguis, is related to other rock iguanas that live throughout the Caribbean island chain. The World Worldlife Fund lists the iguana as an endangered species. "This is a very special iguana," said Rick Hudson, biologist with the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas. "The Anegada iguana is the most primitive. All the other rock iguanas evolved from this animal. In terms of preserved evolutionary potential, this is the most important one of the whole group."

47. Multiple Iguanas Keeping iguanas together presents a whole new set of issues. One thing that can be said with no hesitation is that male iguanas cannot be kept together! http://www.greenigsociety.org/multipleigs.htm

Keeping iguanas together presents a whole new set of issues. Whether or not this is a good choice depends upon many factors, including the sex, size and personalities of the iguanas in question, and the size of the habitat provided. One thing that can be said with no hesitation is that male iguanas cannot be kept together! In fact, male iguanas should not even be allowed to see one another. Adult males can get extremely aggressive and territorial toward one another, and will fight to the death if allowed access to each other. Males that can see each other but cannot have physical contact often suffer from a great deal of stress. They may devote so much of their time displaying to each other that they forget to eat and bask and participate in normal iguana activity, and as a consequence, their health suffers. What about female-female or male-female pairs? There is no clear-cut answer to this question. Some people have been able to keep pairs or small groups of females or females and one male together successfully. Others have not been able to do so. In the wild, iguanas are solitary animals. They get together only during the breeding season, and then only for short amounts of time. Iguanas do not get lonely for other iguanas, nor do they need an iguana friend. Iguanas do just fine when kept individually. But what about those who wish to keep more than one? As with many aspects of iguana care, the Green Iguana Society encourages owners to learn what they can prior to attempting to keep more than one iguana together. To help you make the decision that is right for you, we are presenting you with two different experiences - one positive, and one negative....

49. Traveling With Iguanas iguanas that are loose in the car can cause problems by wedging themselves under the brake or gas pedal, crawling into the dash board or under a seat where http://www.greenigsociety.org/traveling.htm

There are many reasons why a person might need to travel with their iguana. Two of the most commonly encountered are vet visits and moving to a new home. Some people enjoy taking their iguana with them to friends' homes, or to the park, for instance. Some even take their iguana with them on vacation! Whatever the reason, traveling with your iguana involves more than just plopping it in the back seat and taking off. There are many issues to consider, including the length of the trip, the temperature of the car, your driving safety, and the safety and comfort of the iguana. Traveling Carriers - It is not recommended that you drive with your iguana loose in the car. There are several reasons why this is not a good idea - the main one being safety. Iguanas that are loose in the car can cause problems by wedging themselves under the brake or gas pedal, crawling into the dash board or under a seat where they are unreachable, climbing onto the driver's head, or pooping on the seat of the car, to name a few. All of these things can cause the driver to be distracted. In addition, loose iguanas are likely to slide off seats at sudden stops or sharp corners. Clearly, a solid, secure and comfortable carrier for your iguana is necessary for travel. There are a wide variety of carrier choices, and which one is best for you will depend upon the size of the iguana, the length of the trip, how well the iguana travels, and the car temperature during the trip. Below is a brief discussion of some carrier options.

This valuable reference pulls material from scattered sources into one volume. It provides an excellent review of iguana ecology, behavior, evolution, and genetic diversity."Bill Cooper, Indiana University-Purdue University "In a most graceful manner, this book combines the most current information on iguanas from several typically disparate fields of study. This volume addresses the need for current information by conservation biologists and nature enthusiasts with an interest in iguanas."Robert Powell, Avila University, Kansas City DESCRIPTION (back to top) In what is certain to be the key reference on iguanas for years to come, some of the world's leading experts offer a clear and accessible account of the latest research on the evolution, behavioral ecology, and conservation of these highly visible and increasingly endangered creatures, much loved by professional herpetologists and hobbyists alike. The book begins with an introduction by noted iguana biologist Dr. Gordon Burghardt that examines the state of iguana researchpast, present, and futurewith an emphasis on social behavior. Three major sections follow, each opening with a synthesis by the volume editors, who survey the current status and likely future direction of investigations in the pertinent area. The first section focuses on different aspects of the taxonomic and morphological diversity of iguanas and includes a complete checklist of species. In the second section, contributors address the behavior and ecology of iguanas and provide compelling evidence that both may be far more complex than previously appreciated. The third and final section, highlighting the threats facing iguana populations today, describes the broad array of innovative conservation strategies that will be needed to help ensure their survival.

Galapagos Land Iguanas and Their Protection When Charles Darwin visited Galapagos in 1835, he wrote about the abundance of land iguanas: "I cannot give a more forcible proof of their numbers, than by stating that when we were left at Santiago Island, we could not for some time find a spot free from their burrows on which to pitch our single tent." Conservation Efforts and Successes In 1976, wild dogs wiped out the last remaining colonies of land iguanas from Cerro Dragon to Conway Bay on Santa Cruz. Together, the Charles Darwin Research Station (CDRS) and the Galapagos National Park Service (GNPS) launched an emergency rescue operation for the 60 or so survivors. Shortly, thereafter, it was discovered that the same destructions was happening on Southern Isabela. Intervention was too late for many populations, but at Cartago Bay, Isabela, 30 more iguanas were rescued. To help reestablish Land Iguana populations, the GNPS and the CDRS began work on a program for iguanas, establishing a breeding Center in Santa Cruz, to recover the populations. In 1932-33, 70 iguanas were experimentally transferred from Baltra to North Seymour. This was fortunate, because the population on Baltra became extinct following the establishment of a military base on the island during World War II. In 1980 several pairs of iguanas was transferred from North Seymour to the Breeding Center on Santa Cruz with the purpose of recovering the Baltra population. Twelve years later the repatriation started and continues today. The CDRS and the GNPS carry out regular monitoring of this population.

Land iguanas: How are they after they return home? Due to the danger of introduced species, especially dogs and cats, which have drastically reduced the populations of land iguanas in some areas, in 1976 the GNPS and the CDRS began a program of captive breeding and rearing of land iguanas in the Reptile Rearing Center on Santa Cruz Island. After five years in the Center, iguanas are repatriated to their natural habitat to restore their populations, of which the most affected have been those of Isabela, Santa Cruz, and Baltra islands. To date, 765 iguanas have been repatriated to these three islands. Since February 1999, scholarship student Xavier Salazar (Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador) has been conducting a study on the reproductive success, survival, distribution, and census of the repatriated land iguana (Conolophus subcristatus) populations in order to evaluate the success of the captive breeding and rearing program and thus help to orient future management decisions. In 1999, three monitoring trips were made to Santa Cruz, Isabela, and Baltra islands. In these three land iguana populations, recruitment of native individuals was observed, including juveniles and subadults. In addition, a high survival in the wild was seen among individuals repatriated from the Reptile Rearing Center. Nevertheless, survival of juveniles could be at risk due to predation by cats, as well as by the destruction of burrows by donkeys, specifically at Conway Bay, Santa Cruz Island. The iguanas seem to be dispersed and looking for new areas with an abundance of food, that is, they are expanding their distribution.
