Any body have and tips on taming Cuban Ground Iguanas? I realy need help!!!!!! Please

give it time.. they do come around sooner or later but it can take 2years... your job is to make it trust you! so dont stress it or handle it if it doesnt like it.. and you will see that it will get curious one day then intrerested in you..

Good luck

How about transfering them to an out door sanctuary to an indoor one?

i dont think that they will tame faster outside or by being taken in and out all the time... but real sun is good for the lizard so just do the transfer quick and leave it alone(dont try o touch it).. but this moving will prob make the process of taming longer...

if its possible put the cage at head hight.. then you're not looking over them and they dont feel like you are that much bigger and this will calm them down quicker..

dont chase them or try to grab them and or pick them up if you dont need to do that for practical reasons.. let them be but still let them see you around them for hours every day... when they feel that you are just a part of the environment they will come to you!

Thanks.
