Most snakes are very easy to feed. You can get various frozen rodents in the pet stores as well as big living insects. Some people argue its unhuman to feed living food to snakes.

You can also get frozen snake food from different mail order companies. Keep the frozen food hygienically in the freezer. Before feeding the dead animals you have to warm them up. It can be dangerous for the snakes if you feed them frozen cold food. You can put the cold snake food in little plastic bags and put them in hot water, this way they will thaw very fast. Then feed the snake food to the snake when it is still worm.

Some people also feed living rodents. If you prefer this way of feeding just take care the snake doesn’t get hurt by their food.

Snakes don’t chew their food, they swallow their prey whole. The digestion works best if the food is still worm.

Iguanas are herbivores, so they normally eat plants in there natural environment. Don’t try to feed them human things, they maybe like it, but it is not good for them. Most of their food should be greens. Most vegetables should only be feed in small amounts.

Most iguanas bought  in pet shops are juveniles. They grow very fast and need good food for the growth of bone and tissue. Quality iguana food for juveniles should contain high quality proteins as well as calcium and other nutrients. Adult iguanas require other types of food.  Their food should contain more fiber and less proteines, as they have stopped growing.

Sometimes it is not so easy to distinguish an juvenile iguana from an adult one. In such circumstances try to measure the length from snout to vent to get the approximate age of the iguana.  Try to balance the iguana food based on their age.

If the iguana is feed correctly, it shouldn’t need any additional vitamins, but if you like you can add some vitamines for reptiles from time to time to make sure they get all the nutrients they need.
