you should not have your friend bring his/her iguana to your house it sounds like your is wanting to hurt him/kill the outher one.
just my 2 cents

I’m glad to hear he is growing. He may be trying to mate or fight. Don’t let them near each other since neither is a good idea.

Speaking of ltter boxes, how do you train an igg where to go to the bathroo. I just let mine go in her terarium and i clean it once per month, but I doubt this plan will work forever.

Once per month...yikes...that will get nasty. Ig poop can smell bad! I have had great luck tub training igs...put them in the bathtub with luke warm water before they have pooped that day. They will go. Do this at the same time everyday. Soon they will wait for you to take them and not want to soil their cage. Then you can leave out the water and they will go in the tub. Pick out poop with tissue and put in toilet. Rinse iguana and wipe vent with more tissue. Disinfect tub after iguana is out. This just works out the best for me. Others use a rubber tub or paper train. Routine is the key. And warm water helps because it stimulates them to go.
