• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Ladies and gentlemen I have be raising reptiles and amphibians from the time i was old enough to walk however I have only had one ig. she was already about 6 years old and had been raised free range so she adapted to my family and I VERY well she was never caged and always super sweet. Long story short I loved her and she was stolen from me. After mourning and struggling with losing my 15 yr friend I finally decided to get another. only it is not a baby baby, it is at least a year old and even after acclimating to its new environment it is proving very difficult to tame. Knowing how amazing they are after they are socialized i am determined to see this through. If some one would be willing to have a brief discussion with me through e-mail or otherwise about paths i could take to make this easier on me and less stressful to my ig I would greatly appreciate it.
 
P.S

I have done considerable reading and i fully understand that the taming process can take up to a year. So far even though the ig is on a proper feeding and sun bathing schedule I absolutely does not like it when i try to touch it. there fore it runs and becomes incredibly stressed out before i even touch it.
 
wow i will no longer be using this blog due to the over whelming lack of support by its users ty for nothing ya'll.
 
awww I tried to help you in the other thread. I just think there are not a lot of iguana keepers on here. I'm sorry you weren't able to get more help.
 
In my experience, you need to be very patient. It takes a lot of patience. Daily holding, moving your hand very slow towards them, holding an open hand in their enclosure so they learn that this is not a threat... I have two that I am working with... I can see a tiny improvement with persistent gentle handling.
