Visual Security

                        ---------------



A hiding place into which a captive iguana can retreat and be

free from constant visual scrutiny should be provided.  Visual

security can be provided by supplying cardboard rolls (from

toilet paper or paper towels) for small iguanas or cardboard

boxes for large iguanas.  Optimal visual security can be

provided, however, by strategic placement of artificial plants.

Because iguanas like to climb and bask, some of the branches and

artificial plants provided should be arranged to allow this

activity above the floor of the enclosure.  Silk artificial

plants are visually pleasing and easy to clean and maintain, and

they also withstand the use of disinfectants.
