Ciao benvenuto alla zona Iguana. Parlo solo inglese quindi ti prego di perdonare la cattiva traduzione. Ho capito bene che sta allattando i vermi Drusilla? Iguane sono rigorosamente vegetariani. Animale protien non va bene per loro. Drusilla รจ bello, e sembra abbastanza sano.

Yes she was raised around our male although we got him 6 or 7 months after we got her. Angus pretends the cats aren't there when they get near him. It's just the cats and Iggy that just don't mix well. I am wondering if it might be that she is out of her normal seasonal routine. 2 years in a row her and Angus mated and Iggy laid her clutches with no issues (we destroy the eggs) this year they didn't get a chance to mate and so far no sign of her being gravid. So there are 2 possibilities right there as to why she has become such a nightmare or a 3rd theory, she has always been the more dominant of the 2 igs so maybe she was just destined to be an aggressive animal.

My female tends to have more orange in her than my male who still has a lot of bright green on him. She also tends to take on that brown shade too but she does it whether or not she is shedding. Seems to be mainly around breeding season that she stays brown.

Do you know why she is more snippy / aggressive ? I always like to try and understand their behavior. Was she raised with the male ? Might it possibly be a jealousy thing ? She has always been snippy with other animals whether they be the same species or not. Not sure why she has become so hostile with humans though. It's like grabbing a mini Alligator, mine and my husbands arms are constantly tore up and I have lost count of how many times she has almost bitten me. We got 2 kittens several months ago so this may be why she has become such a brat.

I never had issues with the megaray except that is has jumped in price so much over the past couple years. I have tried a couple other brands but they tend to burn out in about 3 months.

I really had no idea that reptiles could have so much personality. I'm glad to hear that iguanas can live 20+ years if taken care of. I've read that they want to remove them from Florida since they are an invasive species and interfere with the populations of some of our wildlife. Can't help but wonder what they are going to do with all those iguanas.... I hope that they make an effort to find them safe homes or relocate them. Hi welcome to IZ They certainly do have personality and they love to show it ;D. My 4 yr old male is very sweet and gentle whether in season or not, he is very shy and passive. My almost 4 yr old female is snippy and aggressive, she wasn't always that way. As for the Igs in Florida, last I heard they didn't care how, they just wanted them gone. I suppose many will be killed, which is sad.

If the bulb is malfunctioning why not exchange it?

Our female who we raised from a baby (she is now about 4 years old) is still very skittish and if looks could kill we would be dead when we enter her territory. Our male who was between 6 months and a year old when we got him calmed down after a few months coincidentally having to be treated for 3 abscesses on his dewlap seemed to be how he gained our trust. He felt like crap and we made that feeling go away therefore we must not want to eat him. He is in the range of being probably almost 5 years old. Just keep at it.
