Thanks for your help, guys. That's about what I figured - I don't think aggression will be a problem with Pellinore, he's very gentle, and we don't plan on getting another ig anytime soon. I'll just watch him and when he starts to act funny, I'll "respect his boundaries." I found what Kitty had to say about wearing green and blue very interesting. Most of my clothes are those colors (he does seem to dig sitting on my shoulder more when I'm wearing flower print) so I guess I'll watch for a reaction. I've heard the thing about UV stimulating the sex hormones before, and the Melissa Kaplan page about not taking any flak off your igs was very helpful. I ran across it before I even had an ig, and it surprised me how similar the dominance thing is with igs and dogs. As a small person, I've had to develop my dog skill heavily, because I love big dogs, so I'm used to playing with my friend's 120 pound Akita and not putting up with his nonsense. I think I can handle an iguana.
You guys really laid my fears to rest - I doubt I have to worry much. Thanks!
