I cleaned Phil's cage out about 10 days ago and was noticing that he's keeping it quite a bit cleaner than usual. I didn't think too much about it until this afternoon, when I went to check a connection between my computer and the power strip and found a VERY LARGE pile of iguana poop on the floor behind my desk.
I have no idea why he chose MY DESK as a litter box. I imagine it's because he know the routine around here and figure this is the least likely place for his messes to be found. I also figure it's probably because the computer is pretty warm and he's probably attracted to its heat.
The funniest thing about this is that, whenever I come home, Phil is sitting quietly in his cage looking none the wiser. I think he knows my schedule, and my boyfriend's schedule, well enough to know when we will not be around, and then he climbs out of his cage, heads for my computer, does his business, and clmibs back in. I'd be impressed if I weren't worrying about losing my deposit if the landlord finds out...
I need some serious help, guys! What should
I do? Phil has a nightly bath and a 'litter pan' in his cage, which is a pie tin filled with water underneath his hammock. His cage is always closed tightly, but there's a small gap between the door and the frame, and I guess he's a bit wilier than I thought he was. How do you untrain an iguana when he's been outsmarting you for what, judging by the size of the pile, looks like a couple of weeks? Arrrrgh. Advice is appreciated,
-Lily and (~~poopy~~)Phil
