Iguana teaching other iguana new tricks

stephiesoo Jun 14, 2003 10:07 PM

Okay all I know this is probably just coincidence and all but I find it really funny. Our male Raptor is "tub trained" he has a tub of water in his cage to swim in. He uses the bathroom in it daily at basically the same time (never varies over half hour or so). We drain and disinfect the tub immediately afterward and he uses it the rest of the time to swim and spash in. Well Juji had been in a different area of the house. When we built he new cage it is in the same room as Raptor's. They can't see each other from their cages unless they are in their tubs. Well Juji always used the bathroom everywhere. Suddenly after being in her new cage close to Raptor she only uses it in the tub and usually within about a half hour to hour after Raptor does. So her new cage stays clean and fresh and we just disinfect her tub no other places to clean!! Of course we still do overall cleaning it just makes it a lot easier!

No, I don't think it is a coincidence at all. I think iguanas are much more intelligent than some people give them credit for.
