Taming

Green iguanas are known for being veracious or angry reptiles. What I recommend is to hold your iguana for at least 30 minutes a day. You should hold him in your bathroom just in case it decides to try to run away it has nowhere to go. I recommend putting a towel under the door crack if its a baby iguana. You can also just try talking to it. If you do this it will get used to your voice and not get so threatened by you.

Bath Time

It is important that you give your iguana a bath as much as possible. You can do this in your bath tub or a large bowl. But make sure you NEVER EVER use soap. Also use warm water but not burning hot water. You should let him soak for 30 minutes.
