Captive Care of the Giant Green Iguana Captive Care of the Giant Green Iguana The (giant) green iguana is an arboreal (tree living), diurnal (daytime active), lizard that is found in Central and South America. It is by far the most popular of all reptile species currently being kept in captivity. These lizards are herbivorous (plant eating) and require a plant diet that is high in Calcium and low in Phosphorus. With proper care iguanas can live for up to 15 years and grow to a total body length of 6 feet. It is for this reason that the term giant is used in the title. Often times potential iguana owners visit their local pet store to purchase a cute little baby iguana only to find out that when it reaches its full adult size that it has become too much reptile to handle or house. For this reason it is important to be sure that before purchasing a green iguana that you are prepared to care for and house this animal for the rest of its life.
