Will Having a Grow Room Pet Substitute CO2/Air Circulation System?

Hey everyone!

I'm too lazy to get a CO2 tank and I cannot install a fan for a grow room I am planning to start.

Just a weird idea that came into my head: Would it be possible to get 1 or 2 iguanas/bearded dragon pets to produce some CO2 for the plants? I will have fans running but there's no way I can run circulation tubes into the room.

Thanks!

They would also keep insects under control.

iguanas eat a wide variety of fruits and plants, Your Bearded Dragon is an omnivore, meaning that he needs a balanced diet of meat and vegetable matter. Will they be in a cage?
If not I don't think you plant's will make it.
How will you cool it if you have no tubes? How big is your grow area, how many plants, what kind of set up?
Also there's their waste may cause more problems for your plants, not sure though.

Interesting, thanks for the tips! I think I'll go for the iguanas because I don't want any pets that need to eat meat. Thought I could feed beardies a vegie-only diet, but I guess they need their protein The Iguanas will be in their terrarium with a heat bulb. Won't the fans cool off the area? I think Cannabis plants can take a bit of heat, though I am using florescent bulbs, less heat compared to standard and HPS bulbs.

Gotta watch the temps. Anything over 80 degrees and you will start to notice significant slowing of growth.

This is why I love you people!!! Thanks for the advice and happy growing
