Heat rocks:
Heat rocks are very dangerous to use with your iguana because iguanas can not feel heat with there skin. This makes it very easy for your iguana to burn its self without knowing. By using a heat rock you can not adjust or control the amount of heat your iguana’s skin comes in contact with, and that is a scary thought if you stop and think about it. Instead of using a heat rock go to the pharmacy and buy a three speed control heating pad. Use the heating as a treat every once and a while on the lowest control and make sure you monitor your iguanas belly. When you look at your iguanas belly you want to be looking to see if the iguana’s skin is darkening. If so remove the iguana and allow him to cool off. Then the next time you use the heating pad place a bath towel over it to cut down on the heat. If you choose, a heating pad is not necessary for an iguanas care so not using one at all will be fine. However remember a heating rock is not good for your green friend.
