Marine Iguanas
Overview of marine iguana habitats, feeding patterns, and behavior.
http://www.geo.cornell.edu/geology/GalapagosWWW/MarineIguanas.html

Extractions: Iguanas seem to prefer rocky shore but may also be found in mangrove swamps and beaches. The males are always more brightly colored than the females, with hues of red and green on their backs. As is the case for many other Galapagos fauna, different races or subspecies may be found on different islands. In the case of the marine iguana, differences between race are most apparent in their coloration, particularly of the males. For example, green colors dominate on the Santiago iguanas whereas red dominate on the Española race. Females are generally dark gray to black. The faces of both sexes often appear light colored. This is not coloration at all, but is an encrustation that comes from their curious habit of sneezing salt. This is part of the unique adaptions that have evolved that allow these descendents of terrestrial ancestors to live in salt water. A gland connected to the notrils removes salt from the body, which is then expelled by "sneezing". Large males assemble "harems" of several females and guard the harem against intrusion by other males. Head bobbing is a threat jesture that warns other males (and sometime humans) to stay clear. Fights occasionally occur between males. These are quite harmless and consist of a contest in which the two males put their heads together and attempt to push their opponent backward. The looser retreats without further fuss. Iguanas, like the other species unique to the Galapagos, have evolved in an environment in which there are few natural predators. Thus they have few defenses against introduced animals, such as rats that prey on the eggs, cats that prey on young, and dogs that prey on even the adults. These feral animals are steadily reducing the iguana population in many localties. In areas such as Academy Bay and Volcan Ecuador, marine iguanas remain abundant (though notably less so than 20 years ago), but all the individuals are mature adults as few young survive the predation by ferel cats. Thus it appears that population is not being replaced and they may well disappear if nothing is done. Fernandina remains free from feral animals and here, along with many smaller islets, one may observe healthy and thriving populations.

Care And Feeding Of Iguanas
A basic care sheet from the Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital in San Diego, CA.
http://drexotic.com/care_iguanas.htm

Extractions: Care and Feeding of Iguanas By Christine Hancock Iguanas are one of the most popular reptiles purchased from pet shops today. This animal can grow anywhere from 4-6 feet in length, reaching a maximum weight of 10-15 pounds. On average, they live 12-15 years in captivity, however they can live up to 20 years if taken care of properly. Iguanas come from a hot and humid environment, therefore, they are more active during daylight hours. They can become territorial and will not hesitate to use their strong and powerful jaws, nails, or tail. Indoor Housing A juvenile iguana can reside in a 30-50 gallon aquarium, however, their rapid growth will cause them to outgrow this enclosure within a few months. Enclosures come in many different sizes, shapes, and styles and are made out of wood, glass, or plexiglass. The substrate should be easy to clean to help you out. Newspaper works well and is most cost efficient, however, artificial grass, indoor-outdoor carpeting, or linoleum are excellent choices as well. Avoid sand, soil, and bark, as these substrates can lead to obstruction or impaction if your pet ingests them. Shallow food and water dishes should be provided, and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected at least twice a week. It is also important to provide your iguana with climbing materials such as branches, pieces of bark, rocks, broad limbs, or drift wood. Water Iguanas need water to survive and should have it readily available. Iguanas obtain most of their water intake through the plant matter they consume, however, some iguanas enjoy drinking out of water dishes, or lapping water off leaves or wood in the cage. Misting your iguana and its environment daily will help keep it hydrated and provide it water droplets to drink. Some iguanas who are provided water dishes may train themselves to eliminate in their water. Their dishes need to be regularly and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent internal bacterial infections.
Metabolic Bone Disease In Captive Iguanas
An article on this condtion by veterinarian Rosanne L. Brown.
http://www.irba.com/mbd.html

Extractions: One of the most common diseases seen in captive iguanas is Metabolic Bone Disease. This disease can be caused by lack of dietary calcium, an imbalance in the calcium to phosphorous ratio, lack of proper UV light or lack of Vitamin D3. Early signs of the disease include weakness, reluctance to move, lack of appetite, and swelling of the limbs and jaw. As the disease progresses there can be muscle twitching, paralysis and death. If any of these symptoms are observed, the iguana should be taken to a veterinarian that specializes in reptile medicine for proper diagnosis and treatment. Even severely affected iguanas can improve with proper treatment, diet and husbandry. In cases where low blood levels of calcium are present, injectable calcium and Vitamin D3 is required as soon as possible. Once levels are normal and the veterinarian has determined it to be safe, a drug called calcitonin can be administered to prevent any further calcium loss from the bones. Force feeding may be required for nutritional support if the iguana is not eating adequately on its own. Soaking the iguana daily in shallow warm water is also helpful to encourage drinking and stimulate defecation. The best way to prevent metabolic bone disease is to provide good nutrition and proper husbandry from the beginning. The following guidelines will aide in maintaining a healthy environment for the captive green iguana.
West Indian Rock Iguanas
AZA Species Survival Plan Profile.
http://www.umich.edu/~esupdate/library/96.07-08/hudson.html

Extractions: The West Indian rock iguanas, Cyclura spp. , are a group of large, ground dwelling, herbivorous lizards that inhabit Caribbean islands throughout the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas. There are eight species with a total of 16 recognized taxa, including subspecies. Rock iguanas inhabit fragile ecosystems and most have suffered greatly over the years because of man's activities and introduced animals. All 16 taxa are currently protected under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES); three are listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the rest are listed as threatened. A more accurate assessment of the state of the iguanas is their classification under the new International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories; IUCN has recently classified all but four taxa as either critical or endangered. Today, West Indian rock iguanas are recognized as the world's most endangered group of lizards, with several species verging on extinction. Zoos have long been concerned with the plight of these impressive dinosaur-like lizards. However, only recently has a coordinated effort been made to protect rock iguanas.

Extractions: Where would you like to go? Caring For Your Green Iguana- I am more than happy to answer your questions through email , but first please read my care guide below, you will probably find the answers you are looking for right here. Introduction Food/Water/Vitamins What you feed your iguana (aside from all other care it receives) will ultimately effect its life span. You could have the best cage, heat it up correctly, and love your iguana to death, but if you don't give it the right combination of foods, it will not live a long life. Calcium and Phosphorus are the key to iguana nutrition. Most vets have now come to the conclusion that iguanas do not need animal protein in their diets. If you own an iguana care book that tells you to give your iguana dog/cat food, THROW IT AWAY! Iguanas require a diet that is high in calcium, low in phosphorus, and contains Vitamin D3. Our main goal is to use the right combinations and amounts of food to give us a diet that has a calcium to phosphorus ratio of approximately 2:1. Always be sure to cut up your iguanas food into very small pieces so they will be able to digest it easily.
Marine And Land Iguanas Of The Galapagos

http://www.galapagosonline.com/Galapagos_Natural_History/Birds_and_Animals/Anima

Extractions: Galapagos Iguanas Iguana is the common name for a large "New World" lizard. "Iguana" a Spanish word of Indian origin also serves as the scientific name for the family. Iguanas are diurnal. They have distinctive eyelids, external eardrums, dewlaps (throat pouches), each limb has 5 toes with sharp claws allowing them to climb. Unlike most lizards, Iguanas are vegetarians. The Galapagos Islands are home to Marine Iguanas Land Iguanas and a Hybrid mix of the whose father's are Marine Iguanas and mother's are Land Iguanas Growing to approximately 3 ft (1 m) in length these sea-going Iguanas exist only in the Galapagos Islands. Living on the black lava shore rocks they have developed into efficient swimmers feeding off shore mostly on marine algae and seaweed. The cold waters of the Galapagos provide both the necessary food for the Marine Iguanas and its most deadly threats. The cold temperatures can immobilize an iguana if it remains in the water too long. Until the arrival of man, Marine Iguanas only threats were that of larger fish and sharks encountered while swimming.

Galapagos Land Iguanas And Their Protection
Includes a description of conservation efforts and successes.
http://www.darwinfoundation.org/terrest/iguana.html

Extractions: 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." 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.

http://www.thewildones.org/Animals/iguana.html

Extractions: The green iguana is a reptile found throughout Central and South America. While it is not generally an endangered animal in some places, like Belize, it is because of hunting. Large females are the favorite individuals to harvest. Unfortunately, these same individuals are critical to the reproductive success of the species. As a food source, the green iguana is also known as the " Bamboo Chicken The Belize Zoo, under the guidance of Tony Gerel , has an " Iguana Farming " project to help reduce the pressures of hunting wild iguana. Physical Appearance: Full-grown green iguanas are usually between four and six feet, although they have been known to grow up to seven feet long. This includes the tail, however, which can make up about half the body length and, in addition to its green color, has black stripes. Green iguanas, not surprisingly, are green in color, but can be found in many different shade ranging from bright green, to a dull, grayish-green. Their skin is rough, with a set of pointy scales along the iguana's back. Green iguanas have long fingers and claws to help them climb and grasp. Geographic Range: The green iguana is found over a large geographic area, from Mexico to southern Brazil and Paraguay, as well as on the Caribbean Islands.
