So I got my first ig about 2 months ago. I work at a vet clinic and was dropping off puppies (long story) at the humane society when I saw that they had a beautiful 19 inch iguana that was in a 40 gallon breeder. It was a bit young to sex but they thought it was female. Long story short they didn't have the background or resources to take care of her/him and he was staring to get a lil less bright eyed. I have many reptiles so I took it and set it up in a converted dresser 4'x2'x20" (I will upgrade asap) She was very shy at first but I was slowly gaining her trust. this last week I took her out and let her walk around the couch. she loved it! she even let me pet her without tail whipping. she went back into her cage on her own after a bit and immediately began head bobbing (I thought it was awesome). since then she has continued head bobbing vigorously all the time! sometimes at me, sometimes at nothing. I also am seeing bulges, I think. She seems a bit more standoffish now and less scared. Is this normal/ what should I do? thanks in advance
