My iguana Gandolf i got maybe 2 weeks ago won't go into his bath i have a good size bowl and when i put him in he flips out and jumps out and trys running away it's at luke warm and when i go to put him back in his pisses on me and he did that yesterday also. so I was wondering how to get him to get in and if him pissing on me would be a problem.
-thanks
That's odd. My iguana never liked taking baths at first, but he never fought with me. I mean, he'd run to one end and then the next and jump out but I'd just put him right back and he'd eventually give up and just look at me like ;[...
Now he likes them, though. Today, he laid his head down underwater for the first time. He just kinda looked at me and started drinking and then popped back up. I recommend cupping your hand full of water and letting it run from your hand onto their back, and maybe to ontop of their head if it lets you without getting irritated. That always calms mine down.
When mine was little I put him in a Rubbermaid shoebox with a lid and he didn't have a choice. If he 'goes' on your hand, I would just wash it with soap and running water.
