In Reply to: adoption is the way to go! posted by stardust127 on November 10, 2002 at 14:15:35:
For the males, neutering will not change their behavior. I don't know of a single reason to neuter your male iguana. On the plus side, only some males get nasty during breeding season, while other stay sweet and friendly. And some get less friendly than usual, but are never aggressive.
If breeding season aggression is a major concern for you, there are plenty of female igs than need adopting too. :-) Female igs are less prone to those breeding season behavioral changes, although they may get a little bitchy sometimes too. Spaying an iguana is a dangerous procedure, and generally vets only do it if egg-binding is or is going to become a serious problem. I don't know what sort of attitude difference might or might not result from a female iguana being spayed, but there are a few people here who have gotten their girls spayed. Maybe they'll have some input. But behavior is generally not such a concern for the females.
Hope this clears the matter up a little bit for you. :-)

:Does it make a difference if the iguana is altered for attitude?
:Altered ie as in spay or neutered?
