Changes

The eggs should be removed and placed in an incubator as soon as possible. The appropriate incubation temperature is 30ºC. The eggs should rest half buried (don't turn them) in moistened vermiculite (one to one and a half parts water to one part vermiculite, by weight) while the other half is exposed to air. The incubator should be opened every three to four days to allow for the exchange of air within. At this time, any infertile, moulding eggs can be removed. The eggs should hatch in approximately 80 days, but this may change (range 59-90 days) due to varying incubation temperatures or humidity. The neonate iguanas should measure 25 cm long and weigh 10-12 g. They begin feeding within a couple of weeks of hatching. Growth is very rapid, ranging from 30-60 cm per year, and sexual maturity is usually reached by the third year.
