Iguana Cage Heat: A Temperature Spectrum for Your Iguana Cage - Part 1 of 3
An iguana cage that mimics the natural habitat of an iguana as fully as possible is an iguana cage that will make your pet as happy as it can be in captivity. Just as the wild offers both shade and sun, coolness and warmth, your iguana cage can have a variety of temperate zones. In order to provide your iguana with an environment that feels natural, and offers all of the health benefits of nature, you’ll want to plan to have a spectrum of temperatures in your iguana cage. To create an ideal temperature climate for your pet, you’ll need three distinct temperature zones: a cool area, a middle temperature area, and a basking area. Iguanas do not have the ability to internally regulate their own body temperature, but can affect their temperature by placing themselves in hot or cold areas. If your pet needs to heat up or cool down, you can provide them with the ability to do so by maintaining an iguana cage that has both a warm spot and a cool spot for them to visit, as well as a middle temperature zone where they can relax when they’re comfortable. Read on to learn the ideal temperate range for each of these places in your iguana cage, and the function in your iguana’s day that each will serve.
