  • Of course it hates you if you stress it out like that! Learn how to properly approach a baby. You need to desensitize it, not traumatize it.

  • dude wtf he doesn't want you.. just stay away from her and slowly get close to her. Please watch some "how to tame iguana" videos. She doesn't need that kind of stress.

  • Gt ine toso epi8etiko re, to cage tou ine poli oreo, vasilia/vasilisa ton/tin exis lol

  • no it will in 1 or 2 years it will bo over 3 ft long my iguana was 2 and was only about 2ft long. feed him apples,lettus. he might eat tomatos

  • is the situation with your iguana better now?

  • wait tills hes realy big so you can be the criky dude facing a nasty iguana monster and take a video of you trying to grab it so it wont wack you or bite you

  • hell nah niggah dat shit hates yu

  • You need to feed your iggy more, he looks really skinny! Besides that, that kinda behavior is normal, don't worry. They grow out of it, but you need to give it alot of attention OUTSIDE it's cage. You need to learn him to trust you fully. My iggy tailwhipped me and has bitten me a few times in the beginning when I tried to pick it up, but she got used to me after a few weeks of intensive physical contact. After that, she was the sweetest iggy a person could have.

  • @Opelkoenjas

    so did u just grab ur iggy

    or did u like have to go through that whole trust cycle where u stare at it for 4 months

    lmao

    i just want to hold my iggy ='(

  • when it waz little u should have handled it at least 3 hours a day

  • What happened to your Iguana? I dont see anymore videos ? did he tame down?

  • its normal omg -.-

  • lol i'm gonna record mine.though they are not agressive like yours.

  • @liquidsnake123

    is that yours aldo

  • @obaidkarki

    nope

  • Hope that its not a male XD I have a two year old male iguana and I have never been able to tame him down. I had to put him and his cage outside lol

  • hahhaha your iguana have a psychologic problem o.O''

    haha is joke,you need more time with she

  • they are alwayz mean at that age

  • he does not hate you he is afraid of your hand,hand feed him and hold your hand inside so he does not feel afraid and he will stop or he is just agressive then the taming is more hard

  • Get the camera off his face, they don't really like it. Give it some time to get used to its environment. Handle him couple of times a day even if it's trying to run away from you. They are very smart lizards and they will learn what you teach them. If you teach them that you want to hold him but he resists and you give up, then he will learn to always run away and for you to give up and back away. I have an iguana, and that's how I tamed her. Good luck.

  • pet him

  • HEy kimonap YOu must pet your iguana every day but you must touch him realy realy Slowly if you are quick touch him he will be scared and agresive =) so a Slowly touch ok?

  • i held my iguana every day as a baby. She now jumps into bed with me every morning and at night jumps on my lap on the couch

  • Patience my friend...first by, og build a bigger cage, she/he has no place to hide, and if she/he is scared of you, she is being watched the whole timi didnt touch my iguana before it was completely settled in its new habitat, and it was not a baby when i got it about 1½ years, and totally untamed. and she became with patience the cutest "puppy-like" iguana, who would run out of her cage and go to me, A green iguana is a wonderfull animal. i hope your iggy turns its hate to love.

  • i just got mine bout 2-3 weeks ago and he was super super scared of me and the first 5 days all i did was stand by his cage so he wouldnt feel like he was being threatend then i would reach my hand in there to do things also just taking out his dish and cleaning you know....... then after bout a week and a half i picked him up and held him for about 1hour 30 mins.... it is recommended to do it that long for baby iguanas to get used to u

  • @dirtbikemanly2 thank you for the tip too~

    i just bought it yesterday, and when its out of the box, it was jumping runing away and i got panic! and i pull her/his tail so that he wont go away, then i cried cause i feel bad about it. . .

    it took 2 or 3 weeks? . . .

  • mh, I think hes frightened of you because you get into his territory and he feels like pushed in the edge. Than the second, i think its not good for him in that small glassterrarium ( no synthetic plants) because he is stessed when he sees his reflection. And he grows very fast, you really should think of it! And the last one, be very carefull if you take him outside...but let him walk alone at first and then treat him very slowly...then he would trust you better okay?

  • try holding him really early morning, let him wake up to being on your hand.. or late at night..  they are slow.. and cold and don't mind being held as much then. Good luck!!

  • um just grab him or her and hold it no matter what it dose and pet its stomach thats how i got mine to not be like that anymore.

  • you should def get rid of the heat rock..thats a no no for igs

  • Yeah just grab it mines 8 months old to hes very calm cause i aproched him look @ my vids ull see my 2 year old and eight month old and my 12 year old and 10 year old =) hope i helped u

  • don't worry your iguana is a baby and it needs to get used to you and trust you mine is 8 months old and he trusts me a lot.try givving it a warm bath and talk to him/her and take it out for at least 20 minutes sometimes you need to catch it but soon it wont run

  • thats what my iguana does i cant figure out why. ive tryed to tame him. didnt work. so i dont know what to do :(

  • my iggy kind of does the same thing but you probably didnt hold it when you got it you need to show it whos boss

  • mine have never attack me in any way, the most he do is to run away but is because he?she likes his cage.Even though ur iguana is attacking u u should try to pick it up, so it will get used to it.

  • afou o an8rwpos einai mlks!!(translation he is malaks!!)

  • You should not do something like that - iguanas are very intelligent, and that means each one is original. Some are calm, some are introvert and do not like close contact. Your iguana is showing very strong defensive signs - you can not provoke him when he is in this position, opening his mouth, hissing and beating you with his tail. You can either go away, or grab him very fast (but carefully, of course) and let him go, when he is calm again.

  • no problem all baby green iguanas are crazy =P sorry for my english im argentino....

  • Cool, nice vid. :)

  • new baby iguanas need a hidebox to relax in and time to get used to being there, they think u will eat them so let it bite or whip u & dont react & they will think they cant hurt u & stop then try hand feeding being real calm hold them everyday for 30 to 60 min. let them have time in a warm bath & you can try, once they will let u pick them up to put under your shirt & take a nap on u they will think ur a safe warm place to be. watch my feeding baby ig video, lighting videos

  • get rid of the heat rock they burn iguanas and order only megaray uvb lights from reptileuv,com all others are not safe to use and can hurt ur iguana even. read more at greeniguanasociety,org for more on food and general care, find a reptile vet cause they come with worms too also get rid of the substraite that stuff kils iguanas everyday! use reptile carpet or newspaper his belly looks big but not healthy so there might be some in there already that could make ur ig sick u must have a megaray

  • i know your trying to do right but most pet stores only want to sell you something i buy only lights and suppliments from reptileuv they do reptile rescue and work with many rescue groups to help and only sell safe stuff to make ur reptiles healthy also read at anapsid,org uvguide,uk & the groups babyiguana advancediguanacare & uvb_meter_owners all on yahoo

  • mine i had it for like 2months and he open his mouth tries to bit me all the time plus the tail hitting,how can i tame this motherfucker LOL?

  • ok from the video, first get rid of the heat rock & use a 75 watt light for a basking spot make sure the temp is not more then 98 in that spot and get a shoe box or a plastic box and cut a hole in the end so he can hide in it, he is very scared if you, don't put the camera at him use the zoom not many igs like cameras, move slow & quietly at him let him bite you & DO NOT react let him whip you & DO NOT react u Must stop this reaction of his before he gets big enuff to put you in the hospital

  • offer him a fav piece of fruit & dont move go slow & let him come to u, when u can pick him up give him a warm bath in the sink you need to prove to him ur not going to hurt or eat him! also in the bathroom where he cant hide under much let him sit on ur shoulder for a while & learn its safe to be near ur face but watch out if u look at him he might whip ur face so let him explore u then if u can put him under ur shirt to nap on you for 20 to 30 min to show him ur a warm safe place to be

  • this all takes time so be very paient with him it took me a year to gain Bintys trust some will come around in a week but each is different, also he could be feeling bad to they lash out at u to try & tell u they are hurting so take a fecal simple in a moist paper towel in a ziploc to a reptile vet to check for worms & parasites its like $40 if he has them & u dont treat him for it they will kill him, also get rid of the substraite, use newspaper or reptile carpet mist him a couple times a day 2

  • gotta remember he is a baby but also a wild animal so you must show him how to react & not iguanas need to be very socialized or they will stay wild animals & be untouchable then u wont want him & no one else will either but if u put in the time and effort u can have a great pet also dont look him in the eye until he knows he can trust you, thats a threat or challenge to him/her talk in a normal calm voice to him & make sure to feed only fresh foods everyday get a list @ greeniguanasociety,org

  • if u slowly do all of this & also order the stuff from reptileuv,com he should come around & be good for you cause you are meeting his needs & he will feel good & be comfortable. iguanas are the most expensive, complex reptile to keep they have so many needs that have to be met or else they act out like a 2yo kid and throw a fit until u do and after a while if u dont they will give up trying to like u but if u do make them happy they will show you too

  • thanks for the info im starting to spend more time with him to see if he calms down and be tame

  • great! but dont worry if it takes a long time cause like i said it took a year for binty to trust me after we rescued him from the people who won him as a carnival prize he was only 1 of 6 that lived out of 200 they gave away before we got it stopped so he didn't trust people at all as he watched the other 4 that were also won by the same people slowly die one by one cause they were all to scared to eat & had worms Binty was the only one strong enuff to survive till i got him & had him wormed

  • thanks for the tip, he still hates me lol but i think time will calm him down like u said i guess i gotta be patience

  • thats great! so glad your giving him time & really trying so many people just give up insted of trying to figure out the problem & make them happy if you can get him to calm down & enjoy being with you he will bond with you so much then you'll have a great iguana i would say though if he doesn't come around after about a year it might be hes not a good match with u so then u might want to see if u can find someone he does like to live with & get a different 1, like people igs dont like everyone

  • well i bought him at the pet shop and he was in company wit ither igs u think dat mite be a lil prob? he probally lonely,im thinking of buying him a new cage and buy 1 or 2more iguanas to c if dat makes him happy lol but he stills hates me lol but he does it cuz he scared of me and want to run and hide around the apt lol

  • well they do like to be around other babies in the wild but i'm not so sure thats it cause he should be bonding to you as sorta of another iguana its hard to tell if theres something bothering him or he doesn't feel good or could just be a personality thing and u and him dont match its hard to say and if u get another one he might be jealous of another iguana in his terrtory then you could end up with 2 that are mad, i would keep trying with him

  • but if you could find another maybe someone would trade you and see if yours likes being with someone else and another might like u more, u can try a pet store or a reptile rescue try seeing if they could help you find someone he likes that would give him a good home so he doesn't just end up in a bad way & maybe a different one would like u better it would be great if you both could be happy even if that meant parting ways...

  • its like woody and gizmo they both like being here btu i'm not their fav person even if i keep trying with them but if i didn't do rescue me and binty would be very happy and he would be enuff for me but woodys not going anywhere & i wont let Gizmo goto just anyone she has to really like them & their home and be very happy or else she will stay here with us & i'll keep trying to do good things for her cause they only have 1 life so they deserve it to be as good as possible :)

  • i take him piut him in my arm resting on my jacket he stays chilling but everytime i try to pick him up he tails atack me and open his mouth to bite me lol he does it all the time everyday at first i got pissed cuz i had other iguanas in the past and they were cool hes the 1st mean one i w as thinking of getting rid of him but hes cute i love igs and i find it cute and funny

  • lol yea some are just touchy i guess, keep trying and showing him its ok to be picked up and touched . you have to in a nice way let him know you will pick him up when you need to

  • illdo dat but he still hates me lol ,i even do like the greeting bob at him and he just stares at me like im a idiot lol

  • haha prolly pretty close! but 1 thing you can do that seems to talk to them is look into his eye so you know he sees u & slowly close your eyes at him 3, 4 times in a row its a way of saying ur relaxed so he should relax to if u make a kissing action at them it really gets their attention cause they can't do that with their mouth it sounds odd but they are very visual animals & it works for mine to show them its ok relax when they are new or really worked up but yea i've gotten the idot look to

  • @jenuelpr he's jealous with the other igy~ :P

  • the other day i left him out of the caage and he had all access to the room cuz i was sleeping and then in once i woke up cuz i felt something in my shoulder and it was him lol it was weird  do u think he was trying to tell me something?

  • oh cool, well hard to say but maybe hes getting used to u and thought he would come see u or maybe he wanted u to wake up and feed him more or just wanted to hang out and doing stuff with u, it takes them time but it sounds like a good sign to me :)

  • LOL!se misei!odws!

  • para8ena plasmata;D

  • lol...:P

  • Wohoo! Don't get to close to him, or he will kill you. :D Maybe he needs a female...

  • XD ...maybe but i think she is a female ...i dont know 100% yet")

  • o.o ca..ca..can it eat guinea pigs?

  • lol no...not yet hehe

  • @kimonap Actually not at all,they are herbivorous.

  • @kimonap I hope you don't feed it guinea pigs. They're not part of an iguana's diet and an iguana never gets big enough to eat one.
