I have two of the fingers on my right hand taped together due an...err..."accident"..."accident, yeah, that's the ticket". Anyway, I went to remove Hercules from his habitat to put him to bed the other night and...let's just say I came really close to not having to worry about those fingers any more. Without ANY warning, Hercules charged at me and attempted to "show me a little trick to take my mind off that pain". I'm pretty sure that the white tape somehow made him feel as if he was in a "fight or die" situation. Anyway, I shouted at him..."Hey!!! What the @*%$ do you think you're doing?!!!". That was enough to stop him within millimeters of making contact. He then laid his head down, I started petting him, and he puffed his eyes...which I rarely see him let his guard down long enough to do these days (Ig Nino ). A few minutes later, I removed a completely placid iguana from his habitat who then insisted upon "cuddling" with daddy until he fell asleep. It was like he felt bad for attacking me and wanted to "make it up to me". Oh well...crisis averted...Hercules and I have an even stronger bond now. Weird isn't it? ;D P.S. Beware of white tape provoking an attack from your iguana. Apparently, some don't like it.

Maybe that will be enough to convince you not to have any more ...err...accidents. ;D

Makes one wonder if we should just put huge paper bags over our bodies, no? Maybe then iguanas wouldn't have issue with the things we wear. But for all I know, some Ig has serious concerns about safety of the presence of a brown paper bag in his/her environment..

Sean, I love your story. Dear Hercules, sounds to me like he knows you're boss, he loves you and he is so sorry. He's almost like a kid. Sounds like you have a very loving relationship.

Awwww, poor Herc was just trying to help, lol. What a sweetie!
Seriously, Kyo has the same reaction to white nail polish! Reds, purples and blues he wants to taste, white, he wants to kill, and browns he ignores.
for your next "accident" try coloring the tape brown will ya? for an experiment? lol
