Iguana Cage Heat: A Temperature Spectrum for Your Iguana Cage - Part 3 of 3
Middle Temperature
The middle temperature area of your iguana cage is where your pet will spend the majority of the day. This is where you should place your pet’s food and water dishes, although your iguana will probably head to the basking area soon after eating in order to digest comfortably. Your middle temperature area should be lit with at least one UVB fluorescent bulb, possibly in addition to incandescent household bulbs if needed to make the temperature of the zone between eighty six and ninety degrees. With the middle temperature area, as with the other zones in the iguana cage, you can control the temperature by changing the proximity of the light bulbs to the the iguana cage; the closer they are, the warmer the area will be. Your iguana will probably spend at least twelve hours per day in the middle temperature zone of the iguana cage, so most of the climbing equipment and other recreational items you have for your iguana should be in this area. The cool spot and basking spot should take up a relatively small area of space compared to the middle temperature zone.
