  • 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

  • Some iguanas will never eat when someone is watching, don't know why...

    Just keep working with him and maybe he will, I think it was a month or two with tweak before she started eating with me around.

  • 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.
