Well I have been paying atention to my cuban alot mroe and I dont think he is marking his teritory. I picked him up today and pet him above the cage and he took a giant pee/poop (it seemed like he was backed up). Then I pet him some more above his aquatium and he went again. So now Im thinking he is just getting the crap scared out of him and he just has so much crap that he has to go twice. I do worry that this may not be healthy for him to hold it in for a few days at a time like this. My old rhino who died a few months back used to do the same thing, crap every time you picked him up. Maybe he will grow out of it like he did with eating. He used to not eat to much for the first 6 weeks I had my cuban but now he is a super pig. He will usally eat out of my hand which is so cool that he trusts me enough. If any of you people are looking for a iguana that has a good dispostion the cubans are it in my opion. They dont get spooked out as easy and they arnt to afraid of humans. They do grow a lil slower then the rhinos but the personality in thios cuban compared to my old rhino is amazing, the lizzard actually puts up with the dog which is kinda funny cause I knwo the lizzard will be bossing the dog around soon as he continues to get bigger. I know iguanas dont like dogs but Dino (my cuban) just thinks my dog is a weirdo and ignores her half the time. My dog is a lil rat terrier named daisy and she is just curiouse of the the thing. I will say I wont leave the 2 unatended together but neither of them would hurt each other from what I have observed.

Any wyas Im gonna just hodl the iguana mroe and hope that the pooping will stop some day soon so Im not spot cleaning the whole time he is out of his cage free roaming
