We must have a similar taste in names. I've made it official; his name is Zair. It has a rather jaunty sound to it that I think suits him well.

So far he's been great. He is already eating from my hand and letting me pet him, and I haven't even put much effort into socializing him yet. He shows a good deal of curiousity about his surroundings, and I've let him out to explore the reptile room a couple of times. Overall he is pretty calm, and hasn't shown any inclination towards defensive posturing when approached. The one curious thing I have noticed is that our cockatiel elicits quite a response from him. As soon as she wanders into view, he puffs up and starts head bobbing like a lunatic. If she gets close to his enclosure, he retreats. It's quite interesting to watch.

I wanted to ask you, how do you go about getting your iguanas accustomed to wearing a harness? I haven't used one before, but I'm thinking about trying it out with this guy when he's ready. It could come in handy when taking him outside, since we live in the woods.
