I think it would be a very good idea to do some research on

these guys. Iguanas are wild animals and when they are this

small they are prey for anything that eats meat! Until your

iguana learns to trust you, you better expect bites and tailwhips. The key to these guys is consistancy. I would not

put it in water until it tires. For a few minutes each pick

it up and hold it and then put it back. Sometimes just talk

to it so gets use to your voice.



It took me about 2 years to be able to reach and pick up my

male. I let him get use to me on his terms and now I can

do anything with him. He is the one in the funny costume at

the top of the forum page.



Do your homework please. You would rather have a 6" baby

biting you that a 4' pissed off male.



Lastly, you need to do research specifically on feeding. His

diet appears to be seriously lacking necessary items like dark

greens which should be the staple.



Hope this helps
