In Reply to: Is it me or is it breeding season? posted by IGUANAFRIEND on December 17, 2002 at 09:26:20:
It definitely sounds to me like breeding season. There is a lot of this going around, so don't feel like you are the only one! My iguana Dexter has stopped hurling himself at the plexiglass as of the end of October, but still has his uppity days, and generally still wants to lunge at my arm when I remove his food dish unless I simultaneously pet his head (at which point he has breeding season amnesia...). From what I have gathered in the past couple months, (this is my (uh, Dexter's....) first ugly breeding season) is that there will be about one month of REAL nutty behavior, and there several months of up and down after that, but I guess each iguana is different.
As far as your iguana not giving your husband trouble, that's easy. He is already lower on the iguana totem pole, so he doesn't need to be threatened!!! I went through the same thing. About a month ago, I had to leave town for a week and had a friend come over each day to take care of Dexter. I told him to call me if he needed any "iguana self defense" lessons... He had no problems what so ever...
I still try to make a point of spending some time with Dexter each day unless he is being just totally impossible. Good Luck with yours!
:I recently moved my iguana, Hercules to another room. He was in the dining room which was open to several rooms but he became to aggressive and started hurling himself at the cage when I went by. He and the cage where moved to a room to himself. It is very nice and comfy in there. I have the warm mist humidifier running all day with his day lights. Its about 80 degrees in the room itself and humid. My husband has been turning his lights on and off and I have been going in at night to change the papers and feed after he has gone to sleep. I have tried to go into the room when he is awake but he becomes really aggressive and I don't want him to hurt himself so I don't stay. However, he doesn't act like this at all with my husband! Hercules is very calm when my husband goes in there and turns lights on and off. My husband has never had anything to do with him in the past (I think my husband is a little afraid of him). It kind of hurts my feelings because when Hercules sees me he puffs up, hisses, and lunges at the cage. He has never acted this bad before during breeding season. Do you think it is just breeding season?
