: So does everyone agree that these leash types are best. I know I have an old one that loops around the neck and back body (where yours does). I find these things a real pain to get on & off-- even the tamest iguanas usually get annoyed with how long it takes me to get it set up right. I would gladly go to this simpler style, but I was wondering if it is strong enough? Has anyone had an ig bolt while attatched to this leash? Can the legs slip out with a lot of writhing and freaking out? Sleestack can be spastic at times & I would hate to lose him outside.

These are very simlple to use... they go on quickly
and if placed the way I'm instructing people the
place them they will not come off. An Ig's waist
is smaller than the combination of their tail and
both legs. The nylon cord I use is strong enough
to hold my entire body's weight (and I'm no small
mammale).
I have tired all the others.... This works the
best for me. This design has handled a five foot
Water Monitor's crocidile roll. If you place it
on right.... Your Ig will not be able to escape.
It is however, only meant to be used as insurance
against an escape. You should not tether your Ig
to the nearest tree while you go inside to watch
the Real World on TV. It is meant to keep your ig
from going up a tree or across the road into the
bush after it jumps of your shoulder.

Take care,
Joe III
