How to raise green lizards?

How to raise green-split lizards daily?

Let's talk about the environment first. The original ecological environment of green iguanas is rainforest and jungle, that is, high temperature and high humidity tropical areas, and they are arboreal, so some items should be prepared before raising them. 1. Generally, the total length of the green iguana is 40 cm, and the adult body is between 1 m 5- 1 m 8. So you have to consider whether to buy larvae or adult larvae. It usually takes more than two years to reach adulthood, so boxes are generally wooden boxes with a height of 80 cm, a length of 60 cm and a width of 50-60 cm. There must be a UVB lamp at the top of the box. 5.0 (Green iguanas need UVB radiation from sunlight to synthesize vitamin D3 in their bodies, which helps to absorb calcium. If there is no UVB radiation, it is easy to get a bone metabolic disease called MBD, which will lead to physical deformity and even death. Ceramic heaters (for heating in winter) 3. Dishes and basins 4. Climbing artificial stairs and rest platforms should be built 30 cm below UVB lamps. Then talk about food: green iguanas are vegetarian lizards, completely vegetarian. You can feed it a lot of seasonal green vegetables and fruits, but don't feed it or feed it less: spinach, carrots, cabbage, grapes and apples. The daily management is mainly to keep the box clean and spray more water every day. The little green iguana is nervous and doesn't like people to catch it. Just scare it as little as possible. The green iguana is easy to break its tail when it is threatened and frightened. Although it can grow a piece, it will affect the viewing.

How to raise green iguanas correctly

The green iguana is one of the most popular reptile pets in the United States. The United States imports a large number of green iguanas from iguanas farms in Central and South America every year. Green iguanas can be found in almost every pet store in the United States. In the wild, wild green iguanas mainly inhabit the forest canopy near the stream, so the basin is an essential equipment for raising green iguanas at home. Green iguana is a diurnal arboreal lizard, which is omnivorous. Animal foods such as crickets, breadworms and eggs can be accepted in childhood, but they will turn into plant foods in adulthood and can be fed with leaves and fruits. Green iguanas have tough skin and are not easy to get hurt. However, attention must be paid to keeping the distance between heat preservation lamps and lanterns in the feeding process to avoid frequent scalding accidents. Green iguanas should be fed every day, and the best feeding time is 9:00- 1 1:00, because green iguanas need to bask in the sun in the morning to raise their body temperature before they start eating. But in nature, green iguanas only eat in the afternoon, and there is no harm in preparing food in the morning, so that green iguanas can eat at any time. Food should be cut into small pieces. As for how small it is, it is determined by the size of the pet green iguana. The size of the food part will not cause the food burden of the green iguana. In addition, breeders should fully mix food, because green iguanas are picky eaters. If they don't mix food well, they will choose what they like, which will lead to malnutrition. At the same time, breeders can also grind calcium tablets into powder and mix them with food to ensure that lizards get enough nutrition from food and maintain their growth.

Does anyone know how to raise green lizards? What should I pay attention to? Is it poisonous?

This lizard is an omnivore. It can feed anything (except the fried vegetables we eat) as long as it is willing to eat.

Our lizards have never seen water before, because they feel troublesome, so they (two) have been kept in transparent plastic square boxes and play with them when they have time. I always put them in the school dormitory, hehe!

As long as it has a strong will to survive, how can it survive? Don't worry, it's harmless.

How do you keep lizards at home?

10- 18CM for females and 10-22CM for males. It is the most popular lizard species in the national market.

Inhabit in bushes, weeds or rocks on the mountain. Feeding on spiders, bedbugs and other insects. Feeding breadworms, spiders and bedbugs artificially. 5-9 eggs are laid from June to July every year, and the incubation period is 46-48 days.

Sand and stones should be washed and dried every week to prevent the growth of bacteria. Choose more tree climbers, these are easy to raise, don't choose too big ones with parasites. The rest will be easy. Don't be afraid of winter, people will live well without you. Exercise less when it's cold, and don't give food or bath. Feed and take a warm bath when the temperature is higher than 15 degrees. No more questions. You're gonna be okay.

Feeding methods and skills of green iguanas

1. Correct caged green iguanas belong to large animals, and they need larger breeding grounds. The normal size of an adult green iguana is 5-6 feet (1.5- 1.8 meters). Adult green iguanas should be kept in the minimum size of 4×4×6 feet (1.2×1.2×1.8m) (length× width× height). Green iguanas need tall cages because they are arboreal animals (living in trees) and like to spend most of their time in high places far from the ground. Be sure to put some branches slightly larger than the diameter of these animals for climbing. Branches can be purchased or collected, but the collected branches must be disinfected with diluted bleach (1 part bleach plus 10 part water) and then washed with clear water. Young green iguanas can be kept on smaller farms, but the smallest size is a 55-gallon aquarium. Within 4 months (if the green iguana you bought is 1-3 months old), your green iguana will exceed the size of this breeding ground, and then you can move it to a bigger cage. At present, there is no artificial aquarium large enough to accommodate an adult green iguana on the market, so the only realistic choice is to build or customize a cage. Many companies that advertise in reptile trade magazines can make custom cages of the right size. Suitable padding materials include newspapers printed with bean-based inks, bark chips and artificial turf. Although from an aesthetic point of view, newspaper is the worst cushion material, it is the most used by far. Do not use shavings, corn stalks, sand or broken walnut shells in green iguana farms. The gas emitted by wood shavings (especially cedar) will harm the respiratory system of this animal. But other bedding materials are indigestible, and eating them will cause serious intestinal obstruction. Green iguanas come from the tropics, so they need higher relative humidity to shed their skin. 2. The correct heating spray to the breeding ground once or twice a day can keep the relative humidity at 75% or higher. 3. The correct lighting of green iguanas requires "full spectrum lighting equipment". Full spectrum illumination simulates the wavelength of sunlight in nature. Green iguanas need light in the UVB spectrum (290-3 15 nm) to produce vitamin D3. Green iguanas need this vitamin to absorb calcium in their food. Without full spectrum illumination, green iguanas will be in a state called bone metabolism because of calcium deficiency. Full-spectrum lighting can be provided by special fluorescent bulbs for reptiles (not lamps for plant planting). 4. Pay attention to the food you eat. In the daily management of green iguanas, it seems that there is nothing more misleading than diet. Green iguanas are completely vegetarian from birth and don't need any animal protein at any time in their lives. Previous studies on green iguanas have shown that, in fact, green iguanas will grow rapidly if they are fed a lot of animal protein. However, another fact is that green iguanas fed with a lot of animal protein will not live long, which usually leads to gout or bone metabolism. It is very important to provide green iguanas with a diet consisting of green plants, fruits and vegetables rich in calcium. In order to successfully raise herbivorous reptiles, the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in artificial feed should be 2: 1. The recipes that can provide this demand are as follows: 70-80% dark, broad-leaved and high-calcium green plants, such as kale leaves, mustard leaves, chicory, petals and dandelion leaves. If mulberry and hibiscus leaves are available, they should be provided as often as possible. Don't feed iceberg lettuce, it has no nutritional value. Spinach should also be fed in small amounts, or not at all, because spinach contains oxalic acid, which will combine with calcium in the intestine, making the latter unable to be absorbed and utilized. 20-30% vegetable pieces, such as carrots, bamboo shoots, pumpkins, zucchini, thawed frozen assorted vegetables and prickly cactus fruits. Avoid or eat less: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, lettuce and cauliflower. These vegetables contain iodine-binding substances that can cause thyroid problems. 10-20% of fruits and flowers, such as strawberry, raspberry, mango, papaya, kiwi, melon, apple (seedless), cactus fruits and flowers, hibiscus, nasturtium, dandelion. Green iguanas like bananas, but because the proportion of calcium and phosphorus is not suitable, they can only be eaten as food. Be sure to cut all the food into small pieces for the young to swallow in one gulp. In addition to the correct diet, green iguanas need extra calcium, and calcium powder can be bought in reptile shops. The green iguana salad should be lightly sprinkled with calcium powder, and the larvae should be fed three times a week (daily). ......

Wild Habits: In the wild, green iguanas mainly eat various leaves, buds, flowers and fruits. The main source of water is food, and sometimes water drops on branches and leaves are drunk. In the morning, climb from the habitat to the branches that are easy to bask in the sun, bask in the sun for a few hours, warm up, and then forage everywhere. After eating for a few hours, they continued to climb to the branches to bask in the sun, because they needed enough temperature to digest the food just now. After the sun goes down, climb back to the habitat to sleep. During the whole day's activities, on the one hand, I will be wary of iguanas older than myself, on the other hand, I will scare them when I see iguanas younger than myself. For other large animals, they will consider themselves their natural enemies. In the * * * period, male iguanas will look everywhere for female iguanas to mate, while female iguanas will try to hide.

Second, please consider the following points before deciding to buy breeding:

1. Green iguanas can grow to 1.5-2m in three years. Can you make room for such a big guy?

2. Green iguanas come from tropical rain forests and need enough temperature to grow healthily. Can you provide it with insulation?

3. It needs UVB irradiation, vitamins and calcium supplements, and all kinds of vegetables and equipment in the feeding box, which requires a lot of money.

It takes a lot of time to clean up the feces and food residue for it every day.

Third, the choice of iguanas

You may see green iguanas of different sizes in pet shops. Some of them may be caught in the wild, and some are sold by other breeders. So either it arrived after a long-distance transportation, or it was raised wrong for a while. These factors greatly increase the chances of iguanas getting sick and injured, so it is very important to choose a healthy green iguana. The following points can be considered:

1, overall appearance

Whether the skin is clean, smooth, firm and elastic, and whether there are scratches or bites.

Are there any signs of burns on the abdomen (because it is easy to cause burns with the bottom heater)

Do you have feces or other dirt in your abdomen? Individuals who usually have dirt are weak or sick.

Is there feces or urate in the drainage hole (white material)? If so, it is possible that the individual is infected with parasites.

Did you resist when you fiddled with its limbs? People who are weak and sick will have weak resistance.

Check the whole body for lumps and abnormal protrusions.

Are there dark red or orange spots on the skin?

Is the shape of the hind leg normal, and is there any induration or lump? The induration may be a fracture, and the lump may be a bone disease caused by calcium deficiency.

Are there many wrinkles on the skin? Is it dull?

Observe whether you limp normally when crawling. Are your limbs strong?

Are toes and tails intact, missing or broken?

2. Head and five senses

Do you have hazy eyes, watery eyes and sediment?

Is there mucus in your nose? A runny nose?

Is the mouth pale or dark red? Are there any unusual spots on the palate and tongue?

Are the sides of the chin the same size?

Fourthly, the nutrition of iguanas.

1, diversity

Iguanas are herbivores. Under natural conditions, they only eat leaves and flowers of plants. But unfortunately, in the case of artificial breeding, iguanas simply can't eat the food they eat in nature. So we must provide them with enough and correct food to ensure their healthy growth without getting sick. When providing food, we must pay attention to the diversity of food so that iguanas can get balanced nutrition. If you feed a single food for a long time, iguanas are easy to get sick because of unbalanced nutrition, such as calcium deficiency. Therefore, it is very important to provide correct food during feeding. I will give some information about food below. In herpetology, it is generally believed that young and adult iguanas eat the same food.

How to raise lizards?

I bought a little bread bug, but I haven't seen it to eat. I took it out and hid (eat it at night? )

You can put the breadworm in a cage and it will eat, or you can remove the wings of the little insect.

If you put it in, it will eat, too. No need to feed ~

They only hunt where they feel safe, don't always engage in it ~

Most of them hunt at night ~

When is the sun shining?

During the day, after 3 o'clock, of course, the whole cage is dried.

But there must be water and something that can cover half the cage ~

How long will it take?

Half an hour to an hour, when you get enough sun, you will hide ~ (so find something to cover half a cage)

How to train it (such as holding it in your hand or putting it on your shoulder)?

At least wait for it to feel safe and get used to your existence ~

Sometimes I put it on the table and want to put it back in the cage (plastic is transparent), but it hides as soon as it passes. Do you bite at this time?

It is also a proof of insecurity. It is likely to bite, but most of them will run away ~

I didn't pull its tail or scare it.

Don't worry, even if it loses its tail by pulling it/scaring it, it will grow again ~

PS: Look at its health, you can look at its tail, the bigger the better ~

My stomach is flat, just hungry ~

How much is this green lizard and how to buy it? I especially like keeping one.

You can go to Taobao to consult the seller who specializes in selling animals and see if there is any wood to sell this kind of thing.

How much should green iguanas be fed according to their weight?

Feeding methods of green iguanas:

Food: fresh and tender mulberry leaves, rose petals, coriander leaves, mustard leaves, dandelion leaves, spinach, cabbage, chopped green peas, etc. Generally, young green iguanas are fed twice a day. When the body length exceeds 90 cm, they can be fed 1 time a day.

Temperature: Change the temperature of the environment, because proper temperature change can promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients, enhance immunity and resist infection. The living environment of green iguanas is 30-32 degrees Celsius during the day, and incandescent bulbs can be used to warm the environment. The basic temperature of green iguanas at night should be 24-27 degrees Celsius. Why? Green iguanas like to keep a dark environment when sleeping, which is beneficial to keep the physiological rhythm of green iguanas stable. Therefore, green iguanas should not need to turn on the lights in their living environment at night.

Lighting: The purpose of lighting is to promote the absorption and utilization of calcium and vitamin D3 by green iguanas. When the outdoor temperature is higher than 27 degrees Celsius, green iguanas can get enough light. If the light demand of green iguanas cannot be met, ultraviolet lamps can be installed in the living environment of green iguanas for necessary lighting.

Cleanliness: Green iguanas are huge, resulting in a large living environment. In order to ensure the life movement of green iguana, its living space length should be 2.5 times of its body length. At the same time, we should clean the environment regularly to ensure a clean and comfortable living environment.

Keeping green iguanas should avoid contact with pets, cats and dogs and children. Because lizards are cold-blooded reptiles, no matter how gentle and gentle their usual personality is, there will be a scene of hurting people. In order to ensure the safety of family members and pets, cats and dogs, contact should be avoided in the process of raising green iguanas.

Breeding of green iguanas;

1: food diversity

Green iguanas are herbivores. Under natural conditions, they only eat leaves and flowers of plants. But unfortunately, in the case of artificial breeding, green iguanas can't eat the food they eat in nature at all. Therefore, we must provide them with enough and correct food to ensure their healthy growth and not get sick. Pay attention to the diversity of food when providing food, so that green iguanas can get balanced nutrition. If you feed a single food for a long time, green iguanas are easy to get sick due to nutritional disorders, such as calcium deficiency. Therefore, it is very important to provide correct food during feeding. Here is some information about food. Reptiles generally believe that young green iguanas and adult green iguanas eat the same food.

The following proportions are very effective for raising green iguanas:

30%-70% solid vegetables

30%-70% of leafy vegetables

15% fruit

0- 10% grain

The crux of the matter is that those vegetables are nutritious. In fact, when raising green iguanas, feeding incorrect food is the number one killer. Remember to regularly provide your green iguana with as many kinds of food as possible to ensure their health. It is best to provide 10 different foods. )

2: Menu

The following foods contain goiter, so feed them as little as possible.

Tofu, purple cabbage (cabbage), Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, and of course many other vegetables suitable for green iguanas. But some foods should be avoided, and some harmful foods will be mentioned below. Giving this menu is not a mechanical copy, but an example of what kind of food should be fed. We should make our own menu on the basis of nutrition. Remember the key to providing as many kinds of vegetables as possible. Here are some important information about different kinds of vegetables. This information should be highly valued, because malnutrition is very common in artificial feeding, which is caused by the ignorance of food choices of breeders. On the other hand, if you choose the wrong kind of vegetables, even if the varieties are diverse, it will still cause malnutrition.

3: Calcium and phosphorus

Generally speaking, it is best to provide green iguanas with twice the calcium content and twice the phosphorus content. But generally speaking, the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is acceptable at 1: 1 and 2: 1. Although 2: 1 is the most ideal, even a little more than 2: 1 is harmless. This ratio is very important for the growth and maintenance of bones, as well as the contraction of muscles and the normal operation of other body functions. As long as the supply of calcium and phosphorus ratio is neglected in the short term, it will cause diseases such as bone metabolism diseases. Generally, hypocalcemia is more likely to occur than hypophosphatemia. In other words, in general, the breeders of green iguanas often don't provide enough calcium for their own green iguanas. ......
