Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Cyclura behavior
I have an adult male Cylura cornuta here in Los Angeles. He lives in a proper cage but he has always had the run of the house and the fenced yard and with the exception of just pooping wherever he wants, he's been a good citizen. If the German Shepherds are lying in the path of where he wants to go he just plods over them as if they were sacks of rice and they simply look and sniff and ignore him.
Until about 2 months ago when he suddenly became aggressive at the male shepherd .. chasing him, gaping at him and in one instance biting and luckily only getting a clump of fur... all the while ignoring the cat and the female shepherd. Since then I have to keep them separated by a gate.
My uneducated guess was that it was a mating season sort of response since it was limited to the male dog - but as of today he lunged at the female shepherd too. My first instinct is to wait out another month as the days shorten and see if it's seasonal but just the same I wonder if any other keepers have had similar situations and/or found any solutions?
PS: I've had no success with behavior modification with Cyclura like with I iguana... no amount of reward will even get him to poop in one place.
Anyone?

I keep my male iguanas none aggressive with a dino doll or a female Cayman Brac. It works every time with the dino doll . I do drag the doll around sometimes with a rope, and the seem to like the color blue or grey.
