She is the wildest iguana I have ever had. All the others, about 30, have been very easy to handle. I was able to spend a lot more time with the others but she make it nearly impossible to.

Could be her breed or she was wild for the time before she was caught.

Today is the first time her dewlap has unfurled.
The head bobbing and display of the dewlap sounds to me as if Bella might be a male and is just showing off his mating routine for you. I think somebody likes you

I do put her in the tub to help with that.

Another thing that helps a little with the shedding is gently massaging a small amount of castor oil where any shedding skin is at. I used to have to use castor oil on the base of Sally's spines. If I didn't, the skin would not come off even after a soak in the tub.

Yes, I think you're right about that. I recall HIM bobbing YES and her shaking her head violently NO. Let's just call her Bella for now.
.
It's not like she comes when I call her.

I often would rub them with a tiny bit of baby oil. That sound like a good idea now since she's so itchy.

Bella works as a boys name as well. Béla Fleck, without a doubt the best banjo player I have ever heard, comes to mind right off the top of my head. It is a slightly different spelling, but still very similar pronunciation.

Before I put her to bed for the night I sat here and held her in front of the videos of iguanas, that got her attention. She did watch them. She was quiet about it too. No struggling to get away.

This is a good video but I don't like how rough he is with them.

I completely agree with you Wiix. You can see the scarring on the lower part one the juvenile crimson albinos that he shows. Beautiful coloration but poorly treated animals.

She looks forward to her bath now. She gets so excited when I ask her if she wants a bath.

I have extra heat on, her heating pad on high and her light is on. I do think she's feeling the cold. It is -20 here today and yesterday. We fell asleep yesterday afternoon so she was all toasty.
