141. Rescue Or Adopt An Iguana Features a message board with details of available iguanas, as well as traveling and shipping information, links, and success stories. http://www.greenigsociety.org/adoptanig.htm

If you are interested in adopting or rescuing any iguana, please make sure you learn as much as possible about the proper care they require. Even experienced iguana owners can learn more and we urge all iguana owners to continue learning more. We strongly urge you to read the information on the following pages before you consider adopting or rescuing any iguana.... The iguanas available for adoption or rescue are listed on our adoption board The Green Iguana Society is not a shelter. All iguanas listed are in the care of either their current owners or a temporary foster parent. All iguanas require an adoption application to be filled out and submitted to us. We will forward your completed application to the owner/caretaker of the iguana you are interested in. Some owners have asked us to screen potential adopters, for which we will forward completed applications along with our comments, thoughts, and suggestions, based on the answers provided in the application. The Green Iguana Society would like to thank you for helping us find homes for these iguanas. NOTE ON SHIPPING IGUANAS: Shipping iguanas has become extremely difficult and the Green Iguana Society highly recommends that people adopt an iguana that is within driving distance.

144. Aggression In Iguanas Physical Aggression in Captive iguanas. It is very important to understand that most iguanas are wild caught and as such, are wild animals. http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/applied-ethology/behaviourproblems/iguana.html

Physical Aggression in Captive Iguanas As iguanas grow in popularity, due mainly to their personality (Iguanality), unusual looks, and low maintenance and spatial requirements, the chances of physical aggression between iguanas and owners becomes more likely. Iguanas are usually shy, passive, solitary creatures, but under the right conditions, they can aggressively defend themselves. Physical aggression in iguanas usually manifests itself in the form of biting or tail wiping (neither of these should be taken lightly as the whip-like tail of an Iguana could seriously injure an eye and their jaws are strong enough to sever a mouse's head from it's body in a single bite). There appears to be two basic reasons for why iguanas can become physically aggressive towards their owners; defensive response to a stressful situation and sexual aggression. Both of these situations can easily be avoided. Aggression due to Stressful Situations (Fear and Discomfort) Sexual Aggression The key to avoiding physical aggression in your iguana is to have a basic understanding of iguanas in general, as well as keen understanding of the "iguanality" of your particular animal. Pay close attention to your iguana and remember to always approach and handle your iguana with care . Further reading that may help you in your understanding of your iguana can be found in a book called, Iguanas: A Guide To Their Biology and Captive Care, by Frye and Townsend. In addition, you may want to read the information provided by Patrick J. Morris, D.V.M. from the San Diego Zoo, Department of Veterinary Services on

146. GALAPAGOS: Iguanas GALAPAGOS iguanas ambience Gentle surf But in order to feed off ocean algae, the iguanas must be able to stay underwater for long periods of time. http://www.pulseplanet.com/archive/Oct99/1988.html

Program #1988 October 1999 GALAPAGOS: Iguanas ambience: Gentle surf We're on St. James Island in the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. It was here, in 1835, that the young Charles Darwin came as a naturalist aboard the ship Beagle and noticed that characteristics of certain animals seem to vary from island to island. It's a discovery that laid the foundation for his ground breaking study of evolution, The Origin of Species. I'm Jim Metzner, and this is the Pulse of the Planet, presented by the American Museum of Natural History. One of the animals that has adapted for life on the Galapagos Islands is the Marine iguana. Scientists speculate that these reptiles descended from land iguanas which floated over on driftwood rafts from South America. Over time, the Galapagos iguanas took to the ocean, developing the ability to swim long distances, and feed off algae from ocean rocks. "When they're swimming, you'll see them fold their arms to the sides, and only use their tail, which is longer than the body itself, and flat, so they could swim with snake movements in the water." Ivonne Torres is a naturalist and guide on the Galapagos Islands.

148. Raise And Eat Your Own Iguanas Raise and Eat Your Own iguanas. Small farmers in Central America may soon be raising green iguanas as they do freerange chickens. http://fadr.msu.ru/rodale/agsieve/txt/vol2/5/art1.html

Raise and Eat Your Own Iguanas Small farmers in Central America may soon be raising green iguanas as they do free-range chickens. Green iguanas, often called "chickens of the trees" have been eaten both as a delicacy and a staple food for at least 7,000 years. These reptiles have a range that extends from Mexico to Brazil. Recent environmental degradation and over hunting have brought the species to near extinction. Six years ago, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama funded Dr. Dagmar Werner, a German herpetologist, to study the high mortality rate of the green iguanas. Out of this research evolved the Green Iguana Management Project which Dr. Werner continues to direct today. Dr. Werner's research promises to provide an alternative enterprise for small farmers while helping save the threatened lizard and some of Central America's tropical forests. Hatchlings are contained and protected from snakes in enclosures of tall sheet metal walls. Wire netting strung over the enclosures protects them from opossums and hawks. Trees and thick branches placed in the enclosures provide shade and perches. On the ground, tiny bamboo compartments for lizards to hide in are raised on stilts and set in trays of water to keep out ants. Hatchling iguanas are about the length and thickness of a person's little finger, but in six months they more than double in length. There appear to be many advantages to raising iguanas in captivity. More than one half of Dr. Werner's iguanas reach sexual maturity by the age of two, a year earlier than in the wild. Nearly 100% survive in captivity, a vast improvement over nature, where 95% fall prey to predators in their first two years. The year-old iguanas weigh at least twice as much as their wild counterparts. They are raised on cheap high-protein supplements, fresh-cut leaves, flowers and fruits.

149. Frequently Asked Questions About Iguanas (aggression, Breeding, Size, Heat Rock, Frequently Asked Questions about iguanas. You are visitor Since April, 7th, 1996. back to the top. Reptile Forums Photo Contest. Iguana Books. iguanas for Dummies. http://www.icomm.ca/dragon/igfaq.htm

Frequently Asked Questions about Iguanas You are visitor: Since April, 7th, 1996 I am just beginning this FAQ, and I will add to it as more and more common questions come up. Here is the FAQ so far: I have a male iguana who is displaying some pretty unusual behaviour. It's just started over the last couple of days. He's swinging his tail a lot. Not unusual at all ... igs do this when they are upset, mad, or in breeding season and starting to act a bit aggressive... I thought that maybe it may have to do with the breeding season. He's about the right age (3 1/2 years old). Yes, he could be in breeding season ... it's the right time of year, many igs are going through it right now. Yes it's normal, and yes if the behaviour worsens and the ig becomes aggressive it could be a potential problem. It might help if you read my Taming an Iguana and aggressiveness during breeding season page- Then you really should go to Melissa Kaplan's Iguana care site and from there visit Her Iguana breeding aggression and how to deal with it page- actually START there.

Saturday a dear friend of mine that lives in Florida lost his 2.5 year old hybrid that he purchased from Chris Domino. He had no warning that the animal was ill, just woke up to find her dead, and unfortunately, he did not have a necropsy performed. Yesterday morning I lost my darling Doonie, the 9 year old Cuban female. She had been acting normally right up until yesterday. She deteriorated so quickly I couldn't even get her to the vet fast enough. I did have a necropsy done and she died from yolk peritonitis. I can't believe how quickly she expired. I'm completely heartbroken and miss her terribly. I'm sorry to bring you such horrible news but sharing helps start the healing for me, especially since I can share with people who will understand. Thanks for listening. Jane Billette Printer-friendly page

I GUANAS ON THE MOVE: The Science of Translocation I have one hand around the back of an iguana s spiny neck and the other just above its tail. I am kneeling to release it on hot white sand. These reptiles bite, so I let go quickly. The iguana doesn t move. Time slows as we stare at each other, the iguana not believing it is free of my grasp and me not quite believing I m about to stimulate it to action, the iguana bolts, scurrying through the sand and into a giant inkberry bush. the binomial name referring to the iguana s ringed tail and rough skin) is the Islands largest native surviving terrestrial vertebrate. It is also, ecologically speaking, one of the most important animals on the Islands. Like the elephants of Africa, these vegetarians play an important role in their environment, dispersing and enhancing the germination of seeds of the native plants they consume. Sadly, like many other island natives, this lizard is in danger of going extinct. s decline is unfortunately a common one. Their existence has been threatened by non-native species. Feral dogs and cats introduced by humans have decimated the original iguana population. Feral livestock have overgrazed native plant communities on which iguanas rely for survival and have trampled their burrows and nests. Now, iguanas are only found on the 5% of their original habitat where feral animals haven

I would like to announce that Steve Woodward of Iguana Answers has taken over as new webmaster. I will still have some input, but the site is in good hands. First update: a new list of Frequently Asked Questions in the Hot Topics section. by Adam Britton Green Iguanas - an Introduction An emerald streak of energy - energy derived from the glowing warmth of the sun - skitters across the leaf litter and ascends to the heavens on moss-covered branches, into the dappled light of the tree canopy. The creature is illusory, its form dispersed within the soft green light reflected from countless leaves. The predator is puzzled. As quickly as it found its next meal, it was gone - incorporated into the tree, vanished and triumphant. The predator moves elsewhere. Today the green iguana, motionless amongst the whispering leaves, basks in the fragility of life. The green iguana Iguana iguana ) is an instantly recognisable lizard from Central and South America which has recently become extremely popular in the pet trade - over 800,000 animals were imported into the US alone during 1995, mainly coming from captive farming operations based in the country of origin. Despite the apparent "mass market" appeal of these animals, however, they are very demanding to care for properly over their lifetime, and the great majority will die within a few short years.

160. Galapagos Marine Iguanas GALAPAGOS MARINE iguanas. Just about When marine iguanas go hungry, they don t just become thinner, they get shorter too. A scientist http://www.gct.org/iguana1.html

GALAPAGOS CONSERVATION TRUST introduction visitor information map of galapagos issues ... charles darwin GALAPAGOS MARINE IGUANAS Just about every rocky shoreline in the Galapagos Islands is home to the marine iguana, the only sea-going lizard in the world. The marine iguana is an extraordinary animal which lives on land but grazes on a variety of seaweed, either on exposed rocks or by diving into the cold seawater. This habit, totally unique in iguanas, provides them with an abundant food source but can make them vulnerable to predation by sharks and other large fish. They are found nearly throughout the whole archipelago, in coastal concentrations of up to 4,500 individuals per mile. The total population has been estimated at between 200,000 and 300,000. Behaviour The marine iguana eats mainly algae, found underwater and in the tidal pools. They have also been known to consume crustaceans and grasshoppers. Its short, blunt nose is adapted for eating algae growing on rocks. Its flattened tail is perfect for swimming. They get rid of the excess salt taken in from the water by a special gland connected to the nostrils. The marine iguana is an excellent example of having adapted to its environment. When marine iguanas go hungry, they don't just become thinner, they get shorter too. A scientist recently found that in times of El Nino-induced famine, the marine iguanas will shrink in length and then will regrow as food becomes plentiful again. This finding, reported in the scientific journal
