Hi Mom,

I might suggest finding out about what time of day she usually drops one and put her in a warm bath then. And keep doing it, in spite of all protests, until she is used to (brain washed, actually) going in the water. Then start gradually changing the times until she goes when you want her to.

Repitition, and more of it will work. Just takes time and patience. Gawd, how I love Pit Vipers! G.G. continues to find new ways to drive me batshit!

Luck,

filthy

: I adopted Buddy, a female iguana who I just adore but she is a little Houdini and the minute I leave the house, she busts out of the cage. And sometimes even when I am home. I can't seem to keep her in now matter what. But since she is not potty trained, I don't know what to do.

: Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

: I have two iguanas that I can put in warm water and they poop. Buddy does not seem to do this. She had a 2-3 gallon water container in her cage and she never got in it. She seems to not like water much at all. She does go to the bottom of her cage to poop regularly though. She never poops where she eats or sleeps.

: Any help is appreciated!!!!!
