 Quick question

By this point I’m pretty sure that my iguana Davey is a girl. I was wondering, will she lay eggs even though she doesn’t have a male with her and at what age should I expect this to start happening? Thanks.

 Quick question

I’m pretty sure that she’s over two years old now. I’m not sure how old she is because I didn’t buy her or anyhting my dad just found her in the backyard. Would you be able to determine her age by her length? Including the tail she’s 27 in long.

 Quick question

No...size depends a lot on care, lifestyle, and genetics...so there is no way to know age from that. She may or may not lay eggs (I know some females that never have) but they certainly can lay eggs w/o a male.

 Quick question

yes if your iguana is a female it will lay eggs even by herself so watch for digging and if she becomes egg bound make sure u bring her to the vet .
