thanks for the reply

rinos are sexed very simply the males are very different than the females.
most don't want to keep males due to their aggressive nature but with lots of work they can be somewhat tame.
he stays indoors for now but i walk him every other day next year he will stay outside in a new chain link pen.
males have penile bulges near the base of the tail and extend them when they excrete their waste.
but most breeders can sex a baby.
thanks

Here is his baby pic when I got him

He was real tame but had a bad habit of defacating when first picked up that is not uncommon.
He has changed quite a bit and now he chases me around once and a while.
He has never bit me either but he can be a u no what thying to get him in his harness.

Neat lizard. There are a bunch of Rhino Iguana breeders here in the southwest, and it is always fun to go out and see the different setups they have Rube Goldberg'd together...

Still...they taste like chicken.

Nice pictures. I bet he would like to get ahold of those ducks. LOL MMmmmmm duck. The guy I work for had a gruop of 1.4 of them. The male was huge. They were all fairly tame and, while I didn't hold them, they would would eat out of my hand and let me scritch their heads. The male was very aggressive w/the females. They were only put together for breeding purposes.

Thumbs up Iggy has a weird personality

Iggy aka stinkasaurus has a odd personality that came on as he matured.
while he tolerates the ducks and stubby the cat.
He will not allow me to keep other lizards near him or he will break into their cage and well kill and eat them all.{He ate several of my spinytails before I Knew who or what was making them go away very sneaky and fast.}
And I accept responsibilty for it and it will never happen again.
Sometimes he will chase me around and if I turn and face him he will try to
dominate me[by attacking ] as the only thing that controls his life.
He will head butt my shoe{since I put it out for protection he could nip a finger or body part right off with his super powered jaws.}
Then if I push him back after a couple minutes he will back off till he gets his brass back.
But most of the time he is a nice friendly rhino.
But not for a novice at least in my opinion.
A lot of responsibility with these guys.
Females are generaly nicer as a pet.
glad you all like him.
