mention welding gloves??? LOL Good old Harry is a pistol and most of the time, I don't try to handle him without the gloves on. A warning......a large iguana can do some very serious damage to your body parts if he gets a chance!!! Adults can, with no problem, bite to the bone of a finger and with some, may even break the bone. It's not something to take for granted. I will never trust Harry again like I use to and he's not even full grown yet. He use to lay with me on the recliner.....as mellow as a cat.....then.....one day POOF.....evil as evil can be. He hunts me down when we have him free roaming.
He may or may not settle down. I hope he does but as a warning, not all male igs do.
Best wishes
