right first of all make sure you have a good size encloser
then when you go in the cage blink slow and let the ig see you do it
move your finger up slowly to stroke under the chin
dont rush things
if you achieve that stroke for about thirty seconds then walk away
watch for pupil dilation if small their on the fence if big they dont feel threat
then repeat untill trust is gained

I have a young iguana myself and a lovely big enclosure proper tempretures and that. i have really researched them alot i hope anyone keeping an iguana really thinks about the effort needed to keep them happy. ps your right about the igs not liking dogs. lol

Iguanas can be around dogs if the dogs are extremely well trained. My black lab is around my iguana all the time. She is so well trained that if you say "Look Away" she does and won't look back until you tell her too. And if you say "Chocolate" she drops to the ground immediately and won't move a muscle or eat anything until you say she can. You can put a steak infront of her, tell her not to touch it and she will never touch it, even if you leave the house.

hey great video I found with all my iguanas, that if I use commercial diet along with staple green and fruit diet they grow fast and they thrive a long time. I have 2 5fers.
what state are you from? im just wondering because it looks like your from a warm place. do you set up UVB lights for his cage? or does he get all he needs from the sun?
