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.
