Cayman Iguana Breakthrough

My male Cayman Iguana is doing great. I was able to hold him for a solid 10 or so minutes without him biting or hissing, after some handling I let him free roam my TV room a little and he seemed to like it. I'll try and get some new pics up tonight - if not, then I will tomorrow. Loving this iguana like no tomorrow, he's a true champ and real smart, it shows.

Just thought I'd update you all.

Thanks, your rhino looks great. I got a vid of some handling done a while back, I'll upload it to YouTube and post it here tomorrow morning.

i would love to see the video . glad to hear you guys calming down

Thanks Rob, means a lot. I'm in the process of uploading a vid, it's not the greatest but it'll do. I'll have it up on YouTube in a couple hours, I'll post it on here ASAP. Hopefully he'll turn out like Roni but in cayman form!

Not the greatest vid, but here it is. Ignore the commentary the camera man (my friend) makes, he was drunk or something along those lines.

good job . looks like he's figured out your no threat . :D should be a peace of cake from here on out .



while he's calm , try to get him to eat out of your hand , rub a little banana on his lips , then see if he will eat it front your fingers . If he does you have it made IMO
