She's relaxing more but she still has her little flip outs. Today, twice, I caught her laying on the tiny pillow I made for her , watching TV. She really does like cartoons now.

Progress.

hi Wix. i'm glad you're iguana is making progress. she sounds so cute!!!

She really is. I wish I could get my camera to work so I could take some pictures of her. She really is a beautiful shade of blue.

She usually goes to bed, to sleep, around 3. But tonight she crawled out from under the blanket and was watching TV. When she gets a little calmer I will try her with some picture books. Many of my other iguanas loved the picture books, especially of dinosaurs. I have a pop-up books. Really freaks them out.

In a good way.

Yesterday I noticed her flipping out and hiding a lot. Late yesterday I took her out of her tank with the usual scrambling to get away from me. Once I had her she was " crunching". I turned her over and she was a mass of skin. I had to peel her. I guess the noise was making her crazy. She settled down after that. Shedding can do that to them. They must think something is after them.

Wiix,

I would love to see pictures of your little baby Bella. When you are finally able to figure out how to upload a picture of her, please do that.

I have a particular love for herpetology and most of that love is for iguanas. I have done extensive research on them over the past 30+ years and had my first one when I was around 8. The last one I had, Sally whom I have mentioned a few times in this thread, I had for almost 8 years. I had to give her up when my Husband and I became serious and moved in together, he hates reptiles. Although I seriously miss her, I do love my husband very much and have no regrets of giving her up. If the time ever comes where I can care for another, I wouldn't hesitate one bit on raising another.

Take good care of your little Bella. She sounds like a real sweetheart.

It's not that I can't get the camera to work, it's uploading to this new computer. I think they are just incompatible.

I'll try again when I'm not so frustrated.

Well she's coming around a bit more yesterday and today. When I kissed her on the nose, she kissed back.
.
Not an actual pucker but her version of a pucker, the tongue came out. Each time I kissed her she licked me.
