Aggression issues?

Leo_Lover07 Apr 13, 2008 04:03 PM

My 6 month old green iguana is extremelt hostile, ive had him for 4 months and he's still an angry cuss. He is very large for his age, 2ft. from head to tail andhe weighs 135g. I've tried working with him and i hold him everyday about 3 times. I hand feed him about once a week (if he lets me) and it seems the only thing i can do with him is look. I never put him down if he tail whips or threatens to bite, hoping the behavoir would stop. but it hasn't. It seems the only thing he tolerates from me is feeding and baths (sometimes). Anyone got any suggestions?
