In Reply to: Bullying problem... posted by phunkeyphish on December 01, 2002 at 16:25:11:
It is always a risk no matter what. They are animals...and unpredictable no matter how well they "seem" to get along on occasion (if you work up to them getting along). My beardie and iguana have grown up together and I've worked hard to have them get used to one another. My iguana is unphased and ignores my dragon. If he were to go into my ig's cage, I think my ig would defend his territory or at least display, however. My beardie's behavior is unpredictable. Sometimes he ignores the iguana, sometimes he runs after him to headbutt him, and sometimes he stops short and gives him a lick. Other times he runs away like he is frightened. After witnessing this behavior for years, one day out of the blue, he ran up to my iguana, jumped up and bit him in the mouth (and held on). My iguana is much larger and just stood there, head held proud, with a dragon hanging from his lip! (unphased) I never leave them alone unsupervised so I ran over and pulled him off in 2 seconds. My ig was unharmed and didn't even seem to notice the incident. I am lucky that my iguana has never shown aggression toward my dragon since he could probably kill him or seriously injure him. One day that could happen...you never know. I rarely allow them contact anymore, except for photo sessions or times when I am right between them. The photo is back when they were younger...and closer to the same size.
