Hey guys. So I brought two brown tree climbers for my boy. I believed a male and female. The male was much bigger and docile. The female was wild. running, biting, the works. So I took her anyway, because I did not want to separate them (would have felt guilty leaving her behind). Ends up she is great. Just a few days later, and she sits on me like a little lady. My boy does chores to earn cricket money. He loves them. Anyway, I find out they are Mop Head Iguanas (an info. would be appreciated). So I am treating them like Iggys. Heat source, food, spritzing twice a day, etc. Anyway, they are about 16 inches from head to tail. Beautiful little guys. So my son says, "Mommy, they are giving piggy back rides." Ut-Oh! I just went up, and he has mounted her, and they are just sitting there. Are they mating? It is June in PA. Any advise would be appreciated. Is she too young?

PS: I love these two. We have an iguana enclosure, but I am afraid they may need to grow a little before moving them. Am I being over protective? They are in a huge fish tank and it is about 87 degrees under the heat lamp. Should I move them? They get a blue light at night. I am completely fasinated with them!
