hello,
i am definately not an expert with cyclura but i have had a yearling rhino iguana for about 2 weeks now. i have to say that he has tamed down rather nicely.
when i first got him he was pretty high strung and squirmy. when i would reach in his cage to change the water or feed him he would be all over the walls and pretty erratic. he even gave me a nip once.
the previous owner would 'grab' him from above to take him out of his enclosure.
i have been working with him everyday for the past two weeks... i am now able to pet him and take him out without any fuss at all. he also enjoys eating out of my hand and hanging out on my shoulder. all i did was pet him and lift him little by little each day to the point where i can lift him (not 'grab' from above) out of his cage and he literally jumps up on my shoulder and chills.
i am very please with the personality of my rhino. he's very inquisitive and aware of his surroundings.
good luck on your decision! i too was faced with the same decision a couple weeks ago.... keep us informed.
