^ what he said, Are they very friendly or do you kind of just avoid handling?psychocircus91 said:he looks great. what's his temperament like?
TeguBuzz said:Thanks everyone.
He is by no means tame - I didn't get him as a small sized iguana so handling from the small size didn't occur and trust building was no where near as quick. He is quite flighty but has calmed down significantly. The most I've ever done is enter his cage to attempt hand feeding and he accepted, after several tries. I tried petting him while hand feeding and he backed off.
He is finally beginning to trust me. Slowly but surely, he will eventually tame down to where I can handle him on occasion - like I do with Buzz.
Sorry for the delayed response, didn't notice the posts in this thread.

psychocircus91 said:thanks for sharing. does he ever act aggressively or just flighty? Not something I'd like to get bitten by lol.

He no longer acts aggressively, he did the first couple weeks I had him. He would charge the walls towards me - mouth gaping, haha. That attitude has subsided, and he is now slightly flighty. He tolerates me in his enclosure to hand feed but won't accept being touched yet.

He has big genetics in him according to Ty and the pics I've seen of his parents. He's not even 4 yet and he's already almost as long as Buzz but doesn't have the girth yet! A few years down the line he'll be one of those large looking rhinos you usually see in the wild, or so I hope.
Definitely a great iguana. How are yours doing?
