Hey Mel

Yes you are right about the females (usually) being less aggressive. This has to do with the fact that the males are territorial and defends their territory fiercely against primarily other males, but also females (unless it is breeding season) and other animals (a big male could even attack fairly large animals). Females MAY do this as well, but mostly not as fiercely.

You can never "trust" an Iguana 100 %, no matter how well you think you know it. Under any specific circumstance it COULD get aggressive, and if you are not aware of the warningsigns you could really get hurt! This is specifically true during breeding seasons, but also when you're not handling it regularly or getting it out in the sun or scaring it. Even a change of location of the cage or other changes could upset it and "twist" their temperament around.
