I have a green iguana who's growth was stunted. will he keep growing?

Question

he's about 4 years old and about two feet long.

Answer 1

Have you tryed a bigger enclosure .That should work

Answer 2

It is 100% false that a reptile cant outgrow its caging.

Your iguana probably wont grow much anymore. As long as he is healthy i suppose he will be ok.

You much also keep in mind that he needs UVB lighting, the right temperature in his enclosure, and the proper foods and vitamin/cacium supplements.

Answer 3

Yes, he can and will continue to grow if all of his needs are met, but he will not grow quickly like a young iguana.  Iguanas continue to grow their entire lives but do slow down once they reach maturity.

Answer 4

With proper care he may grow a little, but he'll never be the size he was meant to be.  Hopefully you are now providing him with everything he needs to be healthy.  This includes large cage, proper heating, UVB lighting and humidity needs, a really good balanced diet with supplements, access to a tub to swim/soak as needed.

Answer 5

If given the proper sized enclosure, heat, UVB exposure, diet, humidity, and a lot of tlc, then yes, he will be able to grow.
