Do not use pesticides near the iguana....it could harm or kill him.

It can take up to a year to tame one. Be patient and be kind....spend time everyday with him.

Try holding, hand feeding, and giving daily baths, also take him outside. Just spending time with him and having alot of patience should turn him around! Mine was a rescue and when I got her (1 yr. old) she was sick, never taken care of properly, so she was very mellow and well.... nice lol, But when she started feeling better she got mean!! So I just kept talking to her and spending time with her, basically being more stubborn then her and she calmed down and now is very sweet to us, mind you she still has her moments and probably always will, but now I think she appreciates us (at least a little bit anyway ). Good Luck!!

i agree w/ both of the above. pesticies are very harmful to animals, so keep them away! also i hope that if your ig is free roaming he/she isn’t getting near those areas.
