Must have been!! I was still learning about iguanas. It was breeding season, new area.. all the trees I have in the yard. He was in overload!!! If he really wanted to tear my hand/fingers off he could have! BOY do they have some TEETH!!!

he was my big baby... loved to eat from my hand, he loved grapes, I would throw them across the room, he would race to get them. He was potty trained, after that incident, he never tried to bite me again, nor whip me.

Getting Whipped by an iguana tail, OUCH it does hurt. I have been whipped across the face, arms & legs. I have scars all over my arms from his nails. Which I learned to trim, & handle him without him digging into my arms.

It was sad to let him go. He was adopted by another family. An hour away, & he is still living. He is about 11 yrs old now.
We had to put him up... his room, was my sons room. It was sad to let him go! But it was good that he went to someone who loved & cared for him!!
