For the Love of Iguanas

 

To begin with, it is important to emphasize how amazing reptiles are and how much joy it always provide the animal keepers to work with them. Animal keepers deal with a wide range of exotic animals, such as insects, birds, monkeys, mammals, and reptiles.

Usually for the animal keepers, the day starts early with feeding soft food (vegetables, sprouts) to a variety of birds. Later in the morning, there's a fruit feed, and in the afternoon, there's a mixed seed feed. All nocturnal animals receive nighttime feedings from the keepers.

Food containers must be rearranged for the next day after being cleaned and sanitized. The keepers take care of bedding, enclosure cleaning, nesting-box maintenance, and other comforts needed for breeding species in between jobs.

For iguanas, getting enough sleep and rest is equally essential. The only way to comprehend is to observe them; this will allow one to learn about their preferences and start to gain a firsthand understanding of them. The animal keepers also assist with the medical care of any sick or wounded creature. One can determine an animal's health just by seeing its excrement!

Working with green iguanas is a great pleasure, they are an amazing species. Usually, the day began by giving them regular meals of leafy greens and hibiscus blossoms. A green iguana's diet should primarily consist of leafy vegetables and fewer other vegetables, with the occasional flower or fruit. 

Based on my own experience, I gradually began approaching the iguanas and, with a little luck, I tried to create a bond with them. When I first started working with the iguanas, one of them was really antagonistic, but now the creature has reached the point where it lets me touch and scratch it. I think they find it enjoyable! I discovered that iguanas enjoy having mist sprayed on their heads, so I increased the frequency with which I did it until I gained their trust. They now realize that I'm not trying to hurt him; I'm only trying to convey more love. I think you have to connect with them in order to truly enjoy working with them.
