He/She doesn't like the camera at all. He's never whipped me before until I had the camera. lol  Fatso is watching the cat, making sure he can't get up there.  Moments before his tail came around. He must not have really wanted to hit me because he missed and was really close.   |

Her chubbiness is soooo cute!! Her colors are very brilliant. She's colored like an alpha male in full breeding season!
I'm noticing two things in the pictures here.
First is - Chicken wire. This has caused more damage and decapitated fingers than any other wire combined. Igs dig at the wires and try to push their noses through them. This causes finger and nose damage. When they climb as they get older an heavier the weight pulls on their fingers and the wire the more chance that wire will slice right through.
Second - The thermometer. Those kind are horribly inaccurate. These can be as much as 20 degrees of one way or the other. Get a digital indoor/outdoor for better accuracy. What you could be reading as 95 could actually be only 75....or 115...or anywhere in-between...and if that's the basking spot you have for that picture...it's not hot enough anyway. 85 is much too cool. Get it up to about 95 and your good to go...:-)

I agree with both things that you have said. The part with the chicken wire, you can't see it in the picture, but I have covered all of the chicken wire with screen so he can't get to it. As far as the thermometers go I do not rely on them to be accurate. I have a spot thermometer for that. I use them mostly because they are a pain to get off and I can easily see if the temperature changes. The basking spot is usually at about 95-100. All of this is changing soon, as I am currently building a new home for him. Just taking some time, because I haven't found a money tree yet.

Is there something in the picture that makes you think it's a girl? I'm still trying to figure that out.

You're right...I can't see the screen. I'm glad you took that precaution...:-)
Nothing in particular made me say she...and I'm not sure why I used the term when you obviously used "he". I usually stick with the persons choice of gender until their old enough to really tell. Hmmm...

No i dont think that Iguana is old enough to sex. To be completly honest i dont even think id safely be able to say an Iguana is Male or Female unless i see Semen, Plugs etc for Males. Or a female becoming gravid. Iguana's can be REALLY tricky sometimes.
Now i really like your iguana! He/She looks so healthy! You can tell by looking into the eyes and seeing what's going in their head. I also include in healthy mental state. If they have lots to look at and lots to do they just seem to be more alert and happy. Very nice pics, Enjoy the site and soak up all the Info!

What a gorgeous ig!! I'm voting girl, here's why..My boy Tiki took one look at that pic and fell in love! He started scratching at the monitor, and licking all over the picture!! He always bobs at pics of boys! Of course he could be confused, but I'm taking his side!!
