    Any advice on untamed iguana?

    My boyfriend inherated a iguana a couple years ago. He is in good health and has everying he needs, only thing is he has not been handled enough. Louie is about 2 years old and he dosen't freak out when petting him in his cage, but if you try to pick him up he freaks out. I been slowly working on trying to get him out by petting him in his cage and lifting him up a little but so far so good. Any advice or tips on what to do?

    1. Buy leather gloves
    2. Pick him up and don't put him down even if he bites you. Let him know you're not scared of him and the only way you'll put him down is if YOU want to.
    3. Go to www.anapsid.org and find the section on Iguana's.
    4. Be prepared to read alot.
