Just to be different - I feel that too much handling is stressful, and that sometimes leaving them alone is a darned good option. Forcing a frightened or ticked off iguana to submit to handling can just as easily go the other way, creating an animal that runs and fights any time you try to hold it. I'm not saying that you should never handle it when it is acting up, just pointing out that there is another school of thought in this area. Less stressful interaction (talking to it, being around it without actually messing with it, and/or light physical contact) goes a long way to building your iguanas assurance that you are one of the good guys.
