Lighting, equipment and safety guide for your storage area
Each iguana cage needs a bathing area to be the perfect habitat for a healthy, relaxed iguana. Your iguana needs a place to warm up comfortably in the light and heat and soak up the heat. Access to warm bathing places is crucial to your iguana's ability to digest food and is an important part of maintaining the healthy and strong health of your bones, liver and kidneys. In nature, your iguana just went to a rock or branch in the sun and spent some time there. To ensure that your pet receives enough sunlight on a daily basis, you may have an open iguana cage that includes a sunny area, or you can arrange for your pet to visit a safe, controlled outdoor place in the sun for at least half an hour a day . However, if the outer cell or outdoor visiting schedule is impractical, there is another option. With a little planning and a few simple supplies, you can create a special bathing area within a covered iguanas cage. Read on to find out what light bulb you need, where to place it, and what kind of your iguana you will need to feel happy and stay healthy in your bathing area.
Lamp selection
For the swimming area in the iguana cage, you will not need special light bulbs. A simple household light will do an excellent job, as long as the placement is done correctly. At least 60 watts of lamps can provide the temperature you are looking for, and you may need up to 100 watts. Any light bulb within this range can be an ideal lamp to provide a warm and light space for the iguanus cage; the key is to find the placement of the lamp that creates the ideal temperature; You are aiming for an area that heats between ninety-two and ninety-six degrees Fahrenheit.
Lamp placement
In order for your iguana to get enough heat in the bathing area, while remaining safe, you will want your UVB lamp to be located between eight and twelve centimeters from the place in the iguana cage where your pet is sitting. The higher the power of the light bulb, the further you want to hang it from the bathing stain. Closer, and you risk making your iguana uncomfortable with intense heat. Further, and the heat will not be strong enough to help the iguana's digestion. To make sure that you have the correct placement of the bulb, leave the thermometer in a bathing place in the iguana cage, resting on the shelf or branch where your iguana sits. Use the thermometer as a guide when you tune the lamp closer or further as necessary until you achieve the desired result.
Shelves for storage
To make your iguana feel at home in the bathing area, you need to provide a shelf or branch for your iguana to rest while enjoying the warmth. This rowing shelf should be at least twice as wide as your pet. Hanging a rowing shelf or a bathing branch in an iguana cage is one of the kindest things you can do for your pet, but it's not always easy to do it right.
Security in the balconies
When you set up a swim zone in an iguana cage, make sure that you take these necessary steps to protect your pet. When you hang a light bulb, make sure that your pet cannot have direct contact with the light bulb; if your iguana accidentally hits a light bulb or out of curiosity, it can cause a sick burn. To make sure your bathing area does not overheat your pet, use a thermometer once a day for the first two weeks after you set up or move the bathing area, and make sure that the place where your iguanas are set up for bathing in a cage inside the desired temperature range. In addition to monitoring the temperature, note if your iguana shows any signs of suffering in the heat. The iguana's natural reaction to overheating is to choke and leave its mouth wide open for no apparent reason. If you see this behavior in your iguana cage, try adjusting your bathing area.
