What Makes ReptiChip The Best Rhino Iguana Bedding

History/Facts

Rhino Iguanas (Cyclura cornuta) are remarkable reptiles native to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which includes the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. These iguanas are named for the horn-like structures on their snouts, resembling the horns of a rhinoceros. They are among the largest species of rock iguanas, with males reaching lengths of up to 4.5 feet and weighing over 20 pounds. Rhino Iguanas exhibit a range of colors, including shades of gray, green, and brown, often with a bluish tint, which helps them blend into the rocky, arid environments they inhabit. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on a diet of leaves, flowers, fruits, and occasionally small insects.

One fascinating aspect of Rhino Iguanas is their social and territorial behavior. Males are highly territorial and engage in displays of dominance, such as head bobbing, push-ups, and tail whipping to ward off rivals and attract females. During the breeding season, males become more aggressive as they compete for mates. Females lay their eggs in burrows dug into sandy or soft soil, and after an incubation period of about 85 days, the hatchlings emerge. Rhino Iguanas play a crucial role in their ecosystem by dispersing seeds through their droppings, which helps maintain the vegetation of their habitat. Their impressive size, unique appearance, and interesting behaviors make Rhino Iguanas a subject of fascination for herpetologists and reptile enthusiasts alike.
