This is my first post here, but I have been reading this forum for a while. I have enjoyed reading and have learned a lot. I do have a Question now though. I have had an Iguana for 14 months and have loved it! It was 10 inches long when we got it, and now it is olmost 50 inches long. I handle it daily, and have a teen age daughter spends a lot of time with it to. It has a large cage, eats like a hourse, and is very gentle. Two days ago, I went to put it back into its cage, and it tried to bite me! It hasnt done that since it was about 15 inches long. When I tried again, it lunged at me with its mouth open. Needless to say, it got to sit on its cage on its basking spot a little longer. I reaproached her about an hour later (with a towel rapped around my hand) and was able to put it into its cage. She didnt try to bite me that time. The only thing that ws diferent with her was a mirror my wife put by her cage a couple days earlier. I did notice that she would look at the mirror and puff up a little. Could that have make her more agressive? Is this kind of behavior normal? I did give her a bath tonight, and she was fine, just a little skiddish mabey. She is the focus of the entire house (much prettier then our Gecko) and I hope you can help me out with this! Oh, I do live up in the mountains in Cali, and it has been much colder the past few weaks, if that means anything.
