It's not that I can't get the camera to work, it's uploading to this new computer. I think they are just incompatible.

Well she's coming around a bit more yesterday and today. When I kissed her on the nose, she kissed back.

Today was another first. I layed down with her wrapped in a flannel baby blanket. I was on my side with her right up on my shoulder and in my arms and we both fell asleep. When I woke up about an hour later she was still there. She woke up too with her usual start. I put her in her tank for the night.

I want to talk about Super Worms. I bought some on the day I got her. I keep them in a vegetable tub with a cover. It's been nearly 5 months and there are only one or two still alive. But the Do turn into something else, beetles. I have found a couple of the beetles in other rooms of the apt. The first one I stepped on only because I didn't realize what it was. They do get out. Since then I have put them back in the tub and they stayed there until they died. I do uncover them and put them on the window sill during the day. It seems a shame to allow them to mature just to kill them, they don't last that long anyway.
She has never eaten one of them, they were just too big. |

Iguanas are strict vegetarians. They may eat an occasional bug by accident, but it should not be a normal part of their diet. The best source of protein for an Iguana that I have found is alfalfa hay or fresh tofu, (use the firm not soft).
Super worms are a larval form of a beetle. they will eventually reach the pupal stage and change into a beetle. If you can keep them captive, oats and other grains are a good food supply and you will soon have a new crop of super worms. Breeding them can be a pain, so I would recommend just not doing it unless you have a reason to, such as having a number of chameleons or other bug eating lizards.

Another new behavior has come about. While in her tank she just stares at me and bobs her head. I think that's good. She doesn't run in a wild panic like she did, well sometimes but not constantly. She still wake in a wild panic too but once in a while I'll grab her before she gets too out of control.
She is the wildest iguana I have ever had. All the others, about 30, have been very easy to handle. I was able to spend a lot more time with the others but she make it nearly impossible to. ![]() ![]() Today is the first time her dewlap has unfurled. Last edited by Wiix; 01-04-2016 at 04:19 PM. |

Here is a video about Super Worms:
She is in the middle of a full body shed. She can't wait for me to peel her. The itching makes her crazy. ![]() ![]() |
