Thanks for your responses. Nope, she was never tame, only smaller =) but the other day when I was feeding her she almost escaped from her cage which is under the roof in my backyard since it's always hot in Miami I don't have a problem keeping her at good temperature. She almost escaped and I read online that any iguana can be tamed. I wanted to build a relationship with her since she is getting bigger and I've been only feeding and changing her water for 3 and a half years but I think it's time that she gets more interaction with people. I don't want her to be 6 or 7 feet long and I won't even be able to enter the cage to feed her. I would love to let her loose around my house when she calms down a little more and when she gets even bigger I was planning on having her lose in one iguana-safe room to have more space and time with me and then at night or when I'm gone I would put her back in her cage. Any suggestions on how to get her to be more calm? Plus I love interacting with her and having her spend time with me, I don't want to just leave her in the cage 24/7 like I used to...Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!
