Tegu and Iguana

[naleme]

So at home i have a 9yr old male iguan that is tame as a dog and i sleep with him. But within next week a 1yr and few month old male tegu is coming in to my family i wanted to know if anyone have any problems with different species of lizards getting into a big fight. Also i let my lizards free roam the house

The iguana will probably try and kill the tegu. How big is the iguana?

 

[naleme]

The iguana is about 3 1/2ft long. He's never bitten anyone in his 9yrs of life so far

My money is on the tegu.

I know someone who took in a 5' male iguana after the original owner passed away. The iguana tries to kill his white throat monitor every chance he gets and he never bit anyone nor does he show any aggression towards any one else. They have to free roam at separate times and when the white throat is out the iguana has to be locked in a room, because even if he is in his enclosure he will try to get out to get the monitor.

3.5' is also a little small for a 9 yr old iguana. Any pics of him?

Oh also to mention i have a juvenile Argentine Black and White tegu that my iguana pays no attention too. The juve will crawl all over the iguana in the bed but not once has my iguana shown any interest or aggression towards it.

 

[naleme]

Yeah he is very on the small side... I just took some pictures of him right now so ill upload them asap

Pretty iguana you sure it's a male?

 

[naleme]

Yep. Whenever its breeding season he gets a bright orange shade on his arms and jowels. I also took him to the vet when he was younger and even they said it was a male

 

[Deac77]

My male is giving me hell atm because of breeding season
