cyclura breeding season?

clockworkcarrion Oct 07, 2011 05:00 AM

mt bf and i have been researching and thinking about getting some kind of rock iguana. i couldn't find any information on how the males act when they are sexually mature... i know male GREEN iguanas have issues with breeding season aggression, needing a "hump" pillow, so on.
i couldn't find any pages saying if adult male rock iguanas act the same way? we would like this animal to be free roaming once it is large enough and we dont want an angry horny 20 pound lizard free in the house lol. wanted to know if their attitude does change during the breeding season, if so we would make sure we got a female.
my back is cramping from the hours of searching for more information, hope someone can help me here

I have a male Cyclura approx. 12-15 years old that I let roam the house during the days. He does not get naughty in the way you explained but he tends to get more active during the warm months and will strut around like he's all that. He is a Lewisi hybrid but every cyclura has it's own personality so I can't say all males are the same. I don't think they are as bad as green igs though.
