If He's that Young, He thinks you're gonna eat him. Best thing to do Is Just hang out and watch Him. Sit by His cage, talk to Him (let Him get use to your Voice), Maybe take an old shirt with Your scent and put it in His cage. Putting you hand in His cage is good but It's only the beginning. Igs can be VERY difficult to "tame" and Some just won't have it. My Guy, I adopt as an adult. It took Me about a Month for Him to get use to me touching Him and picking him up and stuff. Now He sits on My head when I take walks. :D Also Baths Might help. Hope this helps....

:I just recently rescued an Iguana from a horrid petstore with the intention to bring him to a reputable petstore once I've tamed him so somebody will actualy give him a good home. But i'm thinking if I can successfuly tame him, i'll be that good home for him. But he's a wild one. He's roughly 6-7 mos. old(maybe a year)and he's just started eating in front of me.Ive had him for 2 weeks now. Ive been putting my hand in his habitat(slowly of course) and leaving it there, limp, for about a minute or so and then slowly taking it out. I do this like 2 or 3 times a day for now. He seems to be o.k with it, but he still bolts away at times. Any tips, tricks, or anything anyone could supply me with would be greatly appreciated. Thank's alot guys.
