  • Are iguanas mean is a question often asked when you're thinking about buying one. Are iguanas aggressive is a better question to ask. Are iguanas friendly? In this video I show the true side of green iguanas. I show you how gloves can be used to prevent an iguana attack. Iguanas however, are beautiful, they just require special needs.

    I recommend hand feeding its a great way to make them trust you...I tried the whole forceful removal from the cage thing and made no progress taming mine. Once I started hand feeding him daily(cautiously) he was almost fully tame within 4 months. He's 14 now ...doesn't even flinch when I approach him, he even shuts his eyes before I even pet him.

    Thank you I needed some motivation to pick up mines. I have picked up mine three times but after watching them tail whip and all the bad rumors about them it kind of shocked me and kind of make me scared to pick her up but she’s pretty calm after I pick her up she just be all crazy and stuff😂

      I have a male he bites and whip his tail but chill out once he’s in a warm bath tub or in my arms .

    Im telling you man its just an age thing, once they hit a certain stage in life they stop all of it and become great pets, that first 2 years can be hell.... Some are great tho

      Agreed some are great. This is 5 and I’ve only had one that was great. Still love them, but they can be a pain in the butt. This is the best whipper I’ve had however haha

    2:45: Oh dear god. It hates you. Mine would come to me. Pater trained. Yard trained. Would sit on my back while I bicycled around town. Once in a park, one jumped of my shoulder and ran into the trees . Thought it ran away. it fled to the shade and waited until I came to it. It had over heated in the hot sun.

    im assuming they will run away if you dont hold them? iguanas are cool animals. for the most part theyre fairly docile.

    I had him since he was a little one and now he's around 2 feet or so but it's like he's growing everyday it seems.

    Hey you need to make another Video of your Iguana I want to see how big she is.

  • @bjbronson8774
    @bjbronson8774 3 роки тому

    Why does my Iguana escapes his enclosure? I got up from a nap and went in to check on him and he was out and I couldn't find him at first but I did.

    WHEN IGUANAS SHED DOES THAT MEAN THEY ARE GROWING???? MY IGUANA IS GETTING VERY BIG

  • @marilynrice8108

    Is there any way you can tell if the iguana a male or female.

  • @bjbronson8774
    @bjbronson8774 3 роки тому

    Lol well the leash I bought him he will not let me put it on him. But I've took him outside but he scares me that he will jump and be gone.

  • @bjbronson8774
    @bjbronson8774 3 роки тому

    I wish you could see my iguana you may know close to his or her age. I bought it from a friend and they couldn't really tell me then I called Petcov and ask them and they really didn't know as well. They said they only order them for people and that's all they really do. So I'm really stuck on his or her age and of course they didnt even know if it's a male or female. So all I can do is wait till it gets full grown then I could know if it's a male or female.

    What makes it keep tail whipping when they know that you are not going to hurt them. I'm so thinking about getting rid of mine cause it makes me so mad and today she started to run and bite me but I said no way I picked up the tree and said no way you are ñot biting me

    • @devinereptiles5275

      Sometimes it just takes a lot of patience. And sometimes that won’t work either. But that seems to be the case with iguanas. You just never know what you’re going to get. But it’s usually not what you’re doing wrong

  • @bjbronson8774
    @bjbronson8774 3 роки тому

    Oh by the way I got a 75 gallon aquarium would you think that will be good for a while. I really think he's around 2 feet or so. But it won't affect his growing will it.

  • @bjbronson8774

    I was wondering stead of building enclosure for my iguana if I could make a bedroom his room?

  • @marilynrice8108
    @marilynrice8108 3 роки тому

    What's more cheaper to have is it a iguana or a snake. I was thinking about getting a snake but was told that they eat twice a week. But I only been thinking about it.

    • @devinereptiles5275
      @devinereptiles5275  3 роки тому

      Snake.... well idk about the same. Just have to meal prep and feed an iguana every day

  • @cathyjerome1662
    @cathyjerome1662 3 роки тому

    Where did you get them . Love the gloves . I think it's being mean but it's like you said it's what they know and solitary like my hedgehogs. Some are AWESOME some wanna be left ALONE. I watch their mannerisms they let me know what they want !

  • @callmebigbrx5346
    @callmebigbrx5346 4 роки тому

    And do the gloves help you from getting bate if the iguana do decide to do it

  • @callmebigbrx5346
    @callmebigbrx5346 4 роки тому

    And can I spray it down to take it a bath or do I gotta put my iguana in water

  • @bjbronson8774
    @bjbronson8774 3 роки тому

    Hey I need to know if you still selling them gloves. I really need some my hands are so messed up by he or her nails. Need to know how much you sell them for and how to order them.

  • @callmebigbrx5346
    @callmebigbrx5346 4 роки тому

    How many times do I feed my green Iguana a day

    • @devinereptiles5275
      @devinereptiles5275  4 роки тому +2

      You feed them everyday. I spray mine down everyday, but that’s because she’s not in an ideal cage to hold humidity. Other then that she gets a bath about 2-3 times a week. Those gloves will def help if it did decide to bite. They are awesome gloves.

    How old is your iguana I'm trying to tell about how old my iguana is they look like the same size maybe yours little bigger then mine. Thanks hit me back.

    • @devinereptiles5275
      @devinereptiles5275  3 роки тому

      I would guess 3-5years old. She was super skinny and in terrible conditions when I got her, so not really sure how she would be if she hadn’t been like that.

  • @marilynrice8108
    @marilynrice8108 3 роки тому

    How old is your iguana in this video? I'm trying to figure out around how old mine is, I bought him or her from a friend and they didn't really know the age and then I call Petcov and they didn't even tell me anything. They told me they just order them and that's it. Please message me back thanks.

  • @bjbronson8774
    @bjbronson8774 3 роки тому

    Hey bro I have a question. I heard that you said they need to go outside but it's to cold to take him out. Would he be ok even if he don't go outside? I would think that when it gets in the 80s I will take him out. I bought a leash for him so he don't run off cuz he would in a heart beat

    • @devinereptiles5275
      @devinereptiles5275  3 роки тому

      My temp is 65-70. And a leash on an iguana scares me. So I would at some point invest in something that can be an outside cage

  • @hghracingchannel4514
    @hghracingchannel4514 3 роки тому

    I have a male that’s not quiet that big yet but he’s great out side of actually getting him out the cage lol he will open his mouth like he wants to bite but close it soon as you put your hand or finger in front of him so think he just wants to look mean and scary lol. Hasn’t bitten us yet but I’m sure it’s coming .

    • @devinereptiles5275

    • @njmxjunkie3128
      @njmxjunkie3128 4 роки тому

      Its probably due to them not having as good of vision so they don't run away so fast when babies so they get used to being handled faster.... However i dont think any reptile actually enjoys being handled, but some genuinely like being pet and scratched
