I just wanted to introduce myself... My name is Tammy and I am a proud owner of an adopted 1.5 year old blue iguana. Her name is Aria but my hubby calls her "blue".... gee - how original lol. I have a very hard time handling her. Once I get a hold of her in her habitat she REALLY struggles to get out of my hold. Sometimes I have to go in after her with a towel and grab her. She than calms down a little once I rock her - but never stays still. She goes to the top of my head. I wish she would come to me on her own. We've had her since Feb.14th 2015.

Hi Tammy! Welcome to iguana zone  Younger iguanas tend to be more stand-offish and insecure than older iguanas but the important thing is to keep handling them so they can become secure. Most of my experience comes from my iguana, Gwendolyn, and I got her when she was 8; she is now 17. I've seen some videos on handling young iguanas that are similar to how I handle my own iguana that may be helpful: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL05936C8A6AE63D5D&feature=plcpAnother resource is the Herp Center (Herpetology: the study of reptiles and amphibians). They have very active forums with lots of knowledgeable iguana owners  I recommend taking a look at their site as well, they have some great resources. herpcenter.com/reptile-forums/green-iguanas.166/Thanks for posting! -Jenna

Hi Tammy! Welcome to IZ! Can you take some pics of Aria? It'd be helpful to see what type of iguana she is.
