now he's going nuts on me

Ever since he bit me (2 days ago) he has taken every opportunity to either chase me or circle me. He hasn't calmed down in the slightest, only gotten worse... it's going to be a long 1-4 months! I hope he returns to normal unlike Flavia's ig. I think I will put him back in his tank for a while so I don't have to be running away from him every time I move.

Before Godzilla's departure my third male ig, TREX, started to show aggressive breeding season signs too!He chased me around the house, his tail looked just like a snake tail ready to attack, he lifted his 4 limbs, etc...etc...I panicked!If being chased by one ig is bad can you imagine being chased by 2? But those scaring signs lasted only 1 day!!Dont asked me why and after Godzilla's departure TREX is sweeter than never! I can kiss his snout wherever i want!Look at TREX photo!

Unfortunately, the more he bullies you the more he's likely to bully you, because he's getting away with it. If he starts to pull the aggression thing and seriously if he makes you move away from him, I would pick him up and put him in his cage, even if you have to throw a towel over him to do it. If he learns that by charging at you, he can make you move away from him, he's learning he can dominate you, which will only feed his attitude. Don't get yourself hurt, just don't let him get away with being a complete jerk too. Don't worry, he'll go back to his sweet ways in a few weeks/months!
