>>just curious as to if anyone elses iggys are doing this?

Breeding season is at a different time of year for different iguanas, depending on where they are originally from and where they presently live.

>>and if so how long does it last?

Depends on where they presently live and what light cues they may or may not be getting that affect their breeding season-related hormone production.

You'll find lots of info on iguanas and breeding season matters at my site. Might want to start out with my Breeding Season Basics page...
