how are these guys compared to an iguana? i dont need another lizard who will just go off the hook like my last iggy's i just want a pet who is as comfortable with me as i am with him, a nice relationship where we both can hang out and not worry whos going to attack who game.how are yours in general to handling and interact.im so used to my leo's now but i know theres not too many lizards that are so calm like them i just need something close that wont attack cause i made a quick movement.

thanks in advance

They have the best temperment I bought 2 a month ago on impulse, but it has turned out very very well. For the first couple days I was scared of them too so we both jumped away from each other but after finding sites like this I found out they are very gentle. I started picking them up 2 days after I got them and they never bite. Sometimes sudden movements will scare them but mine just crouch down, even though Spyro "the one that never would have survived in the wild" will sometimes take off running crazily. Mostly though they are both happy to be picked up and cling to a finger for a ride around the house to see whats going on. And i feed them every day from my hand. (wish they were vegatarians though) Sorry so long but I think these are the best lizards ever. Not that I have had anything else to compare them too.
