Talking

Well, another milestone, we have crossed over. He's taken me into his eating confidence. Finally, he ate in front of me. That's a sign of trust. Usually he waits til I'm away from the tank before he starts eating. Just now I put a plate of green beans in his tank and he went right for them. He was actually looking right at me while he devoured them. I stood there for a moment looking out the window and when I look down he was looking up at me chewing.

I gave him some of the tender, pale green under leaves of the cauliflower yesterday and he gobbled them up. Also some cooked cauliflower which he did the same.

He knows exactly what's going to happen each day because we keep to a tight schedule. He is real easy now when I go to take him out of his tank. He doesn't scamper anymore. He just hops up on his little log and sort of reaches for me. He doesn't clamp down with his claws anymore. He makes it so easy.
.


I wonder when I'll be able to just snip the tips of his claws. He does lock in my neck sometimes when he hugs me.
.
They are like tiny needles.

Tongue

This morning I woke up later than usual and he was jumping up and down in his tank trying to either get my attention or get out.
.
I immediately took him out and put him in his day tank and he ran over to where I usually put his food and water, BUT it wasn't there.
.
He had a fit!!
.
He ran over to my side of the tank with this look on his face.
.


I got his food and water.
.


He ate a mountain of sting beans.

Shocked

Yesterday I watched few videos about how Petco gets its animals. It made me sick. No wonder he was the way he was and why it took him so long to trust me. I'd show a few here but I might get in trouble.

Poor baby.

Late last night he did his usual "Come get me" act while in his sleeping tank. He acted so happy when I picked him up, just like a puppy. We snuggled for a while until he fell back to sleep then I put him back. He really is so funny.

Thanks for sharing this... We don't have an iguana. We have a small dog. But I can still relate to many of the experiences you've shared... great fun!

I put a tiny mirror in his tank today. That'll keep him busy.

Thumbs Up

He has come up with a new behavior. He locks onto my lips. He must know where kisses come from.
