: How do you tame a baby iguana that lives in a 4ft highx4ftx2ft cage that goes crazy when I just put my arm in the cage? I came back from vacation and Zabouri won't let me get near her. She needs a bath but there's no way I can pick her up. I also want to take her outside to get some natural sunlight, but if I can't pick her up, getting a harness on her would be impossible. What should I do and how long will taming her again take?

when spike acts that way i gently reach in a talk to him and pet him alittle if i can get to him.and when i get him out he trys to get away i just put him against my chest and talk to him for a minute.untill he calms down.then i take him and give him a bath and hand feed him.hand feeding makes them trust you and get used to you more.and when he is calm i put him back in his cage.
