Everything Evolves...

In nature, iguanas have evolved for thousands of years. One example is that the marine and land iguanas on the Galapagos Islands supposedly evolved from green iguanas on the mainland of South America.

And now in the book world, a startling tipping point has created a hyper jump in evolution for the Green Iguana - and it's electronic.

Not the lizard, but the book - GREEN IGUANA: THE ULTIMATE OWNER'S MANUAL by James W. Hatfield III is now an E-book.

Yes an E-book !!! This hyper jump means no more paperback books will be printed now or ever again, and there are none in the publisher's warehouse. Welcome to evolution — book style.

The Green Iguana—The Ultimate Owner's Manual E-book can be purchased in all its glory from Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, or BookShout.

You might ask, why an E-books? The quick answer is you can't stop evolution. A better answer is to get more of these books into the hands of iguana owners so they will know how to care for their pets in captivity. The NEW E-book is $9.99. As a reference for cost, the first paperback book version cost $32.50. Then about four years later, with the second edition of the printed book, the price was reduced to $22.95.

The E-book's price is so low, less than $10.00, so that everyone who has an iguana can own the book that many call the "bible of iguana pet care books".

Nothing has been cut out of this E-book. It is the same book as the print version but with some updated information. If you have the paperback version of the book, you might consider also getting the E-Book so you can easily read it on your computer or tablet.

Iguanas' Wellbeing comes FIRST
We'd love to sell you a book, but we would like to start by giving you some free advice.
  • Iguanas come from exotic tropical lands, and as such they require very specific housing, food, light, and other care requirements to thrive in captivity. Without these absolute requirements, they can die a slow and painful death.
  • Some people call green iguanas 'giant green iguanas' because they get huge. As an example, the author's iguana (pictured on the book cover) at 4 years old was 5'5" (nose to tip of tail) and weighed 13 pounds. Take size into consideration when deciding on whether to get an iguana or not. Also, they can live to 12-15 years when cared for properly.
  • Sexually mature male iguanas can be grumpy, rambunctious, mean, or aggressive during breeding season. Sexually mature female iguanas can lay eggs even without the presence of a male, and the females need specialized care while gravid and to lay their eggs successfully.
  • Iguanas are pets for adults and older children. Young children should NOT have an iguana for a pet (as explained in detail in the book).

If you haven't heard about our book before, below is what's in the book.

A number of iguana pet books have been written in recent years, but still only one addresses the complete needs of these big green lizards: Green Iguana - The Ultimate Owner's Manual by James W. Hatfield III. This comprehensive yet highly readable book is just what its name says: the ULTIMATE book on green iguanas.

In 650+ pages of clear, lively, compelling, and accurate text, the author presents the most current, scientific, and useful information available about iguanas. The book's nine chapters and ten appendixes cover everything from birth to death of an iguana.

Green Iguana - The Ultimate Owner's Manual also features:
  • 24 pages of color photos
  • 16 black-and-white photos, including exclusive iguana skeleton photos
  • 9 iguana medical photos from a world-renowned veterinarian
  • more than 30 detailed scientific illustrations, drawings, charts, diagrams, and tables
  • several hundred quotations from iguana owners, veterinarians, scientific researchers, and others, spread throughout the book to emphasize important points

Keeping it the ULTIMATE
Every effort has been made to keep this iguana book the ULTIMATE. As an example, for nearly every reprinting the author added new research or information of significance on green iguanas. In the third reprinting, 8 additional pages of color photographs were added, and the book's price remained the same.

Second Edition has:
  • updated text
  • important medical black-and-white photos from internationally known veterinarian Scott Stahl
  • and to make sure more iguana owners had access to the ULTIMATE iguana book, the price was reduced from $32.50 to $22.95; that's almost $10. No other pet care book on any animal offers this level of commitment to its readers.

So if you are thinking about getting an iguana as a pet, please start by being informed. Our book is a great first step.
