: Is a 20 gallon aquarium big enough to keep an iguana in? Also ive heard that in training an iguana if it attempts to bite you you should flick it in the eye to discourage the behaviour. Is this true? and If you have one that frequently attempts to whip you with its tail, you can pull it off, without causing great harm to the animal. Is this accurate?

please don't flick your little ig in the eye he'll
go blind and never atempt to pull his tail of.
the aquarium will need to be alot larger to keep
you guy like 4 feet heigh 3 feet deep and 5-6 feet
long and that should be good if you take him out regularly
3 times a day holding until he stops whipping you then
put him back in never put him back in if he's
whipping and biting
and always hold them gently but firmly9don't squish
the little guy and put alot of branches in his
terrarium remember a 20 gallon tank will only last
a few months(8 at most)
be sure to feed lots of orange kiwi cale
mango a little ready made pumpkin thats used for
pumpkin pie with nothing added to it like spices
or flavors just pumpkin and plum tomatoes
collard greens and absolutley no lettuce or bugs

spike
