Turn on the shower & all 3 of you jump in.
Two hours ago you said no guys liked you because you weighed 270 lbs.
So you found a boyfriend in that short of a time?! Good job.
Bored childish liar.

All iguana's can swim and mine loves to go in the tub, even though she is now over 4 ft. They swim just like a gator! If you have a young one lukewarm, not hot or cold and add gradually until it can float a little, and then watch em' go. I would only leave in for 5 to 10 minutes to start.

Luke warm and water should only go up to its belly.
Your iguana should stay in there for about 20 minutes.

i had the same question a long time ago. your answer is only 5 minutes. why? u say. a fully grown one should only be in the tub for no more than 30 minutes. this bath tub technic is good for potty training you iggies to go in water. sounds weird but mines will go as soon as he knows he is in water. the way to potty train is to get your iggie every coule of hours starting when he wakes up and put him the water until he goes but don't exceed 30 minute or he could drown. they find it more comfortable to go in the water. the fisrt couple of time it might not work but practice make perfect. and once your iggies has been around for a couple of months share your hole room with i do just child proof it and potty train him first!!!!!!!!!!!!

All iguana's can swim and mine likes to bypass in the tub, despite if she is now over 4 ft. They swim comparable to a gator! in case you have gotten a young one lukewarm, now no longer sizzling or chilly and upload oftentimes till it may flow purely somewhat, and then watch em' bypass. i ought to simplest bypass away in for 5 to 10 minutes to start.

Water temp...barely warm...not hot...not cold...remember igs are cold blooded and their body temp is what ever is ambient. Depth...up to mid body...usually they will stand up on their tip-e-toes when you put them in the water. You will probably have to hold them in unless you are using the tub. Time...in natural environment usually they only get into water to escape a predator or to get from one place to another...so not to long...5ish minutes or so should do nicely...but you be the judge...watch your animal for signs of discomfort. Good luck!

Your aguana does not need periodic baths. If he has poop on him or something. spray him down with barely warm water, and swab him with a cotton swab or cotton ball. If you leave a dish of water in his cage, he may dive in himself. They are usuakky good swimmers, bu I don't know about a baby one. I'd stick with shallow, tepid water if you insist. This may be stressful. If you're worried about parisites, then contact a vet.

Up to his belly , slightly warm & put something in the middle of the tub for him to get up on if he wants. (about 15 min)

LOOCK WARM, DEEP ENOUGH TO SWIM BUT NOT DROWNED. AND FOR 15 MINUTES OR MORE IF HE SO CHOOSES.
