I swear, we have Satan's Spawn living with us! Harry, our 2 year old male iguana is going through his first "season". He tries to attack both me and my husband. You know, that walking sideways thing, dewlap flared, learning that his tail can inflict pain on his humans and his body puffed up? Not to mention the mouth gaping bit. I can't help but laugh at him (as I run from the room and away from the demon). LOL

Ok, I tried the no UVB lights for a couple of days with no improvement. When I pick him up (wearing my very stylist welding gloves), I look into his eyes, and frankly, there's no one home! Do you know the look I'm talking about? LOL

We are so used to the slug of a female we have, Lola. Harry's our first male (and probably the last after all this). Just kidding!

I've looked at Melissa's suggestions, I've re-read Hatfield's section on the topic. How long are we suppose to live with the devil reincarnated? Any other helpful "tips" dealing with this pint sized monster? I know, this too shall pass. But WHEN?

Sue (trying to keep her humor during all of this)

PS: Skinny and Juby, your day is coming with SIX male iguanas!
