A couple ?s

I have had Turbo for a week or two now and I'm curious on how long or how many times a day I should hold him for and if I should let him stroll around, while I keep an eye on him. Secondly, if I do keep him out for an hour or two is it bad for him since he's not getting his special light and heat. I do keep it plenty warm in the house so if I do take him out he won't get too cold. Thank you and any information would be awesome . I am always listening to suggestions. ;D

Personally I take my ig out two times a day for an hour to two hours. But it does depend the ig's personality and how big it is. I am unaware of how big your ig is, but mine is a little under three feet and a little over 18 months old. Special lighting as in UVB, I would not worry to much about as long as your ig spends a good chunk of his/her time under the basking bub and UVB you should be fine. Also as keeping your ig out can make him/her cold. I warm a blanket or towel in the dryer for about 10 mins depending and wrap him/her in it to get warmed up again. Sorry this was so long! Hope it helped!

I don't really have a definitive answer for this one because it really depends on your schedule and your little guy's temperament. I wouldn't worry about him being away from his light for a couple hours, slifer's right, he will be ok so long as he is a typical iguana and spends all day soaking up the warmth/UVB of the basking spot.

Turbo is a year and a half I think he is right around 2 feet. My goal is to take him out 2 or 3 times a day for about an hour or 2. I just had him out for an hour just a few mins ago, but now I have to go to work. He loves laying on his vines and soaking up the UVB. Tomorrow is my day off so I will take some pictures of him and post them
