reptilejesse it's just if i try to cathch him it runs super fast...any ideas how to grab it....it's just so quick i get scared too to touch it.....reply back if you have any ideas.....!!!!!
i've got my iguana for 3 months now....and it's very hard to tame it....he raises his tail t whip me and if i put my hand in he runs very fast.....sometimes he eats from my hand but its very rare....any tips plz.....!!!!!!help will be usefull.....
i`m the owner of a 1 yr and a-half iguana at first he was like that. But after a bunch of hand feeding, handling, and i`f you are able to give him/her a bath dump some warm water on the head and they should let you pet them....reply back for more information
hey man thanks for your tips i got my iguana on Halloween so he is getting a little better at not running not the best he still runs but hes getting better. but he still wont eat in front of me and its been two months now. i know he eats cause i notice the food gone but ill sit there and watch him for a good hour and still its like he is scared to eat in front of me if any of you could give me tips id be most grateful thank you
i have some tips for you... i just bought and iguana on Sunday and i have had iguanas before but as big as the one i bought on sunday... the first day i had him he was mean as fuck he bit at the pet shop and he's whipped me like fuck idk how many times now... but now im going into the 3rd day having him.. and he is still acting the same but he doesnt bite no more all im saying is its going to take me a while to tame him... and probably your will too
yu eva notice that wild iguanas are usually some what tame as adults, i seen in person an flordia ppl petting an them walkin very close. even vids on here of wild iguanas getting touched
Depends on how long they have been around humans. Most adult wild iguanas i've seen are just cocky and don't care that humans are around, they will do what they want when they want lol.
as far as iguanas sociability, it very well might depend on where it came from. you can imagine iguana farms and these baby ig's having to go through a traumatic experience from the moment they hatch till they wind up in your local petco. i've had mine for 6-7 months and he's still afraid of me at all times...im looking for advice as well.
That and the tiny little cage they keep it in at the store... Just give it time. It took a while for me too... Taming any animal takes a great deal of time. You really only have problems in the early stages if it doesn't eat. If it doesn't eat put food in the cage and let it be. eventually it will eat. Just so other people know.
hey man not sure if you still check these comments but i have had my iguana for 2 and a half weeks now and he is horrified of me i move slow and work with him an hour a day he is almost a year old but what my main concern is i watch all these videos of iguanas run up and eat out of there food dish or what ever. i never see mine eat he seems to have no interest in it if you could help me out id be most grateful and yes his tank is perfect temp and humid with UVB and UVA heat lamp
Just give it time. Its best to leave it alone and give it fresh food until the iguana eats... But your probably past that by now. so just give it time. And make sure it eats. If it doesn't eat, put food in the cage and leave it alone for a while.
dude! this guy like squished his iguana! your not sposed to pick them up like that! g from underneath their chest and slid your fingers under. then lift. dont ever restrain your iguana. let them feel as if they are free to roam.
and where are your videos to prove you have an Iguana? Listen douche bag.... Don't talk shit you cant back up. and no I didn't squeeze. So shut the fuck up dip shit...
my iguana ate from my hand the first day I got him and he doesnt mind me holding him and he crawles all over me whenever I pick him and he has never tried to bite or tail whip me what caused my igg to be so sociable
so i just got a baby iguana about 3 days ago, and ive tried to hold him about everydaY, im thinking i rushed it, now when i put my hand in his cage i get tail whipped what can i do
I'd let the iguana get used to its cage for two weeks in total, so like another week.
If the iguana is nippy watch the mouth and don't get bit.
If it's nippy because it's stressed put it back into the cage. Just keep handling it till its used to you. But it needs to not be stressed with its surroundings in which it lives in. So let it get used to its cage first, go easy on the overall contact for like another week, so if it does get stressed from the handling it wont be stressed in the cage.
I just got an iguana bout a week ago hes been really good and started eating just about 3 days after I got him I am now handling him for bout a half hour a day but I also let him explore a little he isn't very nippy but he will try to bite when he gets stressed out or sumptin any suggestions

My iguana is just a little smaller with longer spines on his (or her back) back, also his dewlap is always extended. But yeah they like to chill on your arm and absorb your body heat, and he's very particular to not poop in his cage.
My iguana only freaks out when I go to get him out of his cage, once he's out he immediately calms down and loves to crawl around (has never ran). He just freaks out when I get him out of tank.
Hey man , thanks for helpin. problem with my iguana is that he/she keeps trying to run away whenever i let him climb on my arm. and i havnt seen him eat
well, if you keep at it the iguana will eventually calm down. But if it isnt eating you should leave it alone for a while. At least till it starts to eat. Just make sure the it has food. For when it finally wants to eat... An iguana can go maby 2 weeks without eating just as long as you dont see bones pokin through. I had to leave the house for tweak to eat when i got him. And some iguanas will never eat with someone watching.
Make sure it has water too, scince they get the water they need from thier food most the time. The iguana may need to drink from water if its not getting any from food.
yo so i got my iguana yesterday and i can pick him up fine and pet him and put him on my sholder..... is this normal
