Iguanas: Everything About Selection, Care, Nutrition, Diseases, Breeding, and Behavior (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

Summary: This book accompanied my first iguana!
Review: Living in Japan it's not always so easy to get the exact information I need but I was exceptionally lucky with this book. It covers all the aspects of iguana care and I like the way it especially reinforces the following points: 1. The size of enclosure your iguana will need (Dispencing with the usual glass tank I went out and bought a large glass fronted kitched cabinet straight away!). 2. The importance of the calcium/ phosphorous ratio in the diet. 3. The fact that, just like a cat or dog, to tame an iguana you need to pay attention to it everyday. The book doesn't mention, however, that too much cabbage or broccoli may cause thyroid problems and it doesn't contain tables showing the exact calcium/ phosporous tables of vegetables or fruit eg. eggplant 1.15/1, chinese cabbage 2.85/1, but, I can assure you that, once you have that information, in addition to this book, your iguana care library is complete. I've had my iguana for 8 months and he's doing just great!

Summary: Good but basic
Review: There is a decent overview provided by this book, but some of the information (at least in the edition I read) that is definitely outdated. Green Iguanas are NOT insectivorous at any stage of their life. This has been proven by several reputable universities in the last few years. Buy this book in addition to other manuals.
