hello everyone. i have a large male cuban rock iguana. he is an adult at around 4 ft. this week i purchased an adult female. she is in a quarentine enclosure for a while. my male caught a glimps of her through his enclosure window and looked like he wanted to eat her. at some point i would like to introduce the two. if anyone has any advice, please feel free to share. thanks

Wrong forum my friend.
A few up there's the Cyclura/Ctenosaura forum where people can give you better advice.
My 2 cents:
Introduce them in a neutral, non-territorial place, and watch carefully. Have a pitcher or cup of water ready in case he bites and locks on her (I heard that splashing them in the face startles them and they let go).
Keep a close eye on them. If the meeting goes well, put her back in quarantine, and repeat the day after. If all goes well, after a week of successful encounters, try to have them together in the same enclosure.
Good luck.

Hi,
I am not an expert but what I would do is put them together in the same cage and if you see them fighting seperate them. It might also be helpful to put them in seperate cages that are side by side for a week or two so they can get used to each other.
Sincerely,
Drew
