That Rock Iguana is amazing. Such a gorgeous creature. With such a gentle temperament (with proper care) it'd be great to have just amble around the home on its own and so that you as the Owner enjoy its company. Maybe some day I'll get one, of course with all the proper additional information and know-how before doing so.

Video title: Care For Green Iguanas Jungle Bob: "DO NOT GET ONE OF THESE, THEY WILL TURN ON YOU!!!"

[@howardugrad1356]

my neighbor owned a Cuban Rock Iguana for 10 years now, he said this iguana species is easy to tame and make great pets. I WANT A CUBAN ROCK IGUANA NOW.

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

Good luck finding one for sale! ;)

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

***** I wouldn't say any Iguana turns on its owner, they just get temporarily grumpy I guess you could say, except the kind of grumpy you get when you break windows trying to get your reflection! :) Yes, the Cyclura (Rock) genus does get the same hormonal aggression as the Iguana (Green) genus gets, but I can't guarantee any more or less, just because each individual is different.

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

***** For Green Iguanas (Iguana Iguana) breeding season lasts from 3-9 months every year. Like I said, this is how Green Iguanas are, I'm not entirely sure it's the same for Rock Iguanas.

[@User-four20]

Rock iguana do makes great pets. However in my opinion is don't mess with the green iguana. They're a bit aggressive sometime if not careful.

[@soundwave8466]

I'm very thankful for my iguana! she is so gentle and friendly!! also she is scared of frogs, toads and dogs.

[@rage9755]

If you don't mind me asking what color is your iguana because mine is a bluish green and is a sweet heart*

[@soundwave8466]

+TheReaper 666 she is a greenish, brownish, orange.

[@rage9755]

she's really cute 0.0

[@김기범-o5n]

the reason your iguana is not aggresive is because shes a female

[@sebastiantantantantantan1245]

my female iguana is more agressive than the male

[@lordeggo]

I had a male Green Iguana for 24 years and I guess there are exceptions. I handled him near daily. He had free roam inside and a custom 20x5x5 cage outside (I live in Florida). He was exceptionally mellow for a male and didn't care how I handled him. He was actually far more trouble when he was younger. That being said, almost no one else could handle him. He would avoid being held and not leave his cage. When I'd come to the cage he'd leave his perch and come right to me. It was very obvious he was my Iguana as the temperament described here was how he treated everyone but me. Never bit me, never wiped me after age 2 or so and I managed to keep his tail fully intact. I'm proud of how I raised him, how he turned out, stayed beautiful till the end and I'll miss him.

[@user-bc5hf1qd8t]

The fact that they named the Cuban iguana “Castro” 😂

Go

[@AdrienneDeVita]

I agree with this guy 150%!!! I rescued a green, very young female iguana who had her jaw broken. The other males wouldn't let her eat, so I took her, hand fed her baby food (Athena loves green beans, stage 2 Gerber - recommended by a top reptile expert in San Diego - Dr. Jenkins - for my bearded dragons, too.) and her jaw healed (it was completely detached...I was shocked when it healed 100% and happy!) She gets regular greens now, too, but she loves her vegetable baby food. She slept on the headboard of my bed and was sooo sweet for the first year of her life and very attached to me! Fast forward to her at 3 years old, and she started becoming really nasty and mean, so I leave her in her tank. She's 5 now and every time I take her out, it's an ordeal. I have scars and scratches on my arms and hands and she whips her tail at me and has even tried to bite me. I wear big leather gloves to let her out and sit in the window from time to time and even out in the open, if I go near her, she whips her tail at me and sits up and back when I go near her. I can't pet her on the head anymore like I used to, so it's miserable for both of us. If I gave her away, no one would put up with her behavior, so at least she's safe with good food and fresh water. I wish KZbin would allow us to upload a photo here so I could show you how gorgeous and large she is, but she's just too aggressive and mean. I'd love to walk her, but I don't think that's an option. She's thick and strong...really strong! I love my bearded dragons. I'd never get another iguana again. They are much more maintenance and bearded dragons are the most docile reptiles and easy maintenance of any I've owned.

[@stingrayrose4324]

Never put an iguana in a tank, of course she will get mean. I don't mean this in a rude way.

[@aofaa8580]

Pet Owner tease Green Iguana "Hey, don't do that! this is my territory" Pet Owner bring the Rock Iguana "Oh ho, RUUUUUNNN!!!" (territory abandoned)

Great tips. I just got two iguanas, one red and one green iguana yesterday.

[@davidsmith3949]

lol. The Green one's reaction when the Rock one showed-up. Like he saw his big brother approach him.

[@Baggettful]

I have a one year and 4 month old male green iguana named Iggyman he is shy and he does hite but he does not bite, I will never give up on my iguana. Green Iguanas do make good pets and they are able to be tamed but it just takes time. No matter what breed of a iguana a person gets it will still take time to tame it and all iguanas are diffent.

[@dyanriaz6127]

Can you post a video of two iguanas mating. My mom censored all of the other websites

[@ghostywun8844]

Castro is so cute and docile. LOL i want one now

[@meepymoof]

I've been debating for the longest time over getting an iguana and my biggest decision has been between getting a green iguana or a rock iguana since I think they're both gorgeous. Now that I know how well behaved the Rockies are though....I think I know who I'm gonna get. :)

[@Eclipsethehedgehog16]

Did you finally get the iguana?

[@meepymoof]

@@Eclipsethehedgehog16 I still have not! After all this time I'm still struggling to find a big enough space to dedicate to one. Having two dogs has not made it easy! I am, however, leaning more towards adopting a grumpy old unwanted green iguana nowadays.

[@trinity4244]

He's smiling ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kirbyzilla6743]

Thank you soooo mucchhhhhh i was going to get a green iguana but i fell in love with The rock iguana!!!!

I came across this channel and I am really impressed! Excellent videos that I can learn from. Hopefully as I continue to watch I will find something about bearded dragons

[@maui5744]

castro is so cute

[@kfields4980]

2:11 Green Iguana: I'm out of here!

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

Once again, great video Howcast! But I do have one thing to say, I don't like how you seem to point at all Green Iguanas, and say that they are all very shy and aggressive animals. Sure, they can be aggressive when not interacted with, or during breeding season, but that does not make them aggressive animals. They all have different personalities and deserve to be respected.

[@Bani0814]

Well said

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

edwin calleja Thank you. :)

[@stingrayrose4324]

Exactly. Mine is the sweetest thing ever...even during breeding season:)

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

Jaylaa Caseri Wow! That's awesome! You should make a video about him! :)

[@dynamitezverde9748]

Lol I'll ask you this since they probably won't respond what if I get a female green iguana will it still have it's temperament?

[@finalbliss2791]

I was going to get an iguana but had to settle for a bearded dragon. Still a great pet though. Very informal video.

[@tilikumstudios9350]

[@keokidnick]

Lol the smile at the end

[@5150gamer]

I had my green iguana for 12 years and he went from being super friendly to very territorial and mean, if you have the time and money to take care of one an iguana can be a very interesting pet, but do your research before you buy a baby one and know what your getting into.

[@petco]

Today is National Iguana Awareness Day. Did you know some iguanas can grow up to six feet in total length?

[@572507able]

U real acc

[@jacobwood3875]

[@liltoxic1960]

Try to get an iguana like a week after they hatch, handle them everyday, let them have space.

[@reginaldmann]

Awesome video!

[@chasephillips5576]

yeah man i got a blue iguana and I was looking for some info on blues because I heard they are very different attitude wise than green iguanas and red iguanas

[@chercheurdeverite593]

He is soo cute. He has a velociraptor face.

[@darrellmyers2398]

So from what I understand a Cuban Rock Iguana can live freely in a house (cage-less) as long as it has designated places for food/water, doing its business and a constant heat source (like a cat)

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

That can work, but you need to make sure you are still providing UV!

[@kawaarmy6170]

out here in puerto rico there are many green iguanas

[@jessicapike1690]

that little green one booked it hahahahahaha

[@alexeratops]

They know where to do their business? You mean they can be LITTER BOX TRAINED!?!

[@jhustler1992]

[@masondaniell8329]

They are not awesome in your wallet

[@chewy3141]

Mason Daniell Ikr you can get a green iguana for $20 whereas a rock iguana is around $200 lol

[@jhustler1992]

+Mason Daniell I have heard they can be very expensive pets so I wouldn't doubt that.

[@dfadden62]

My red iguana has been acting very wild all summer--flying around her cage, rubbing her nose against the bars and hurting herself there. She's also barely touching her food.

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

This is caused by improper care. You need to take your Iguana to the vet to get a checkup because he/she is probably ill. You said, "bars" no cage should ever have bars. An open cage will let the humidity out, causing the Iguana to breath in dry air and dry the organs, which is deadly. You need to build a custom cage made out of wood and glass or acrylic, covered on the top, bottom, and sides with wood and the front with the glass or acrylic. Please tell me your whole setup so I can tell you how to fix the problems that are causing your Iguana to suffer. Please respond for the sake of your pet.

[@dfadden62]

Well my iguana's enclosure does have bars. It's an aviary that is divided in half and houses both my iguanas. And sorry but no, I do not have the thousands of dollars to buy a "Cage by Design" or other cage of like size that would be better suited for a lizard. So I make due as best I can. Sadly for my iguanas not all of us get to be rich enough for such things. I also can't go buy a huge glass tank (I have looked into that) because then there's the weight thing. I am just one middle aged woman. I am not able to lift or maneuver a huge glass tank and I do not have male friends I can ask to help me either.

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

You don't have to buy one of those Cages by Design cages, you can hire someone to build one for you! They can be a bit pricey sometimes, but it's worth it for your pets! :) Just do what you can for them! :)

[@dfadden62]

I am hoping to build a cage myself, but even the cost of wood is very expensive. And then you have to have glass panels for the walls. Hire someone to build one.... That sounds like a great idea. Any suggestions on what I should be searching for or advertising for? A carpenter, perhaps? I am currently unemployed and driving for Uber to get by--it's not a lot of money. I am hoping, however, to win a lawsuit soon against a company I worked at who discriminated against me. If I win Iand I think I have a good shot) it is on the top of my list to get my iguanas into a proper enclosure. And happily the mediation with this employer happens (or at least I was told) sometime in Sept or October so hopefully soon.

[@dfadden62]

TheAnimalGuyTV Also, you mention (or someone did) coil UVB lights. That's what I've used because no one has told me these aren't healthy for lizards. I am trying to slowly replace them out with the kind that are straight. These are expensive though, and require dome lamps. So I'm not able to replace them all at once. But my iguanas now have had them for about a month.

[@Swaggapackin]

did he say 6 feet long!?!?

[@marshallcouto8229]

JohnHali yes 6-7 feet!

[@timdavid8739]

So have anyone who has cared for a adult male green iguana experienced dramatically increase aggression as described in the video, or is it simply dependent on each animal independently? I just got a young iguana yesterday and I'm wondering if I build a strong relationship with it now, will it be tame as an adult?

[@lanivelazquez5308]

I saw baby ones at petsmart and, trust me, I know how big iguanas get, I'm from Puerto Rico where iguanas are like squirrels in Texas. I had no idea those little ones at petsmart get this freaking big.

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

They don't, PetSmart and PETCO abuse their animals. Please buy one from a breeder or specialized reptile store.

[@greydentipping1821]

I can keep them outside because I live in Florida

[@graysonreeves4660]

What do you keep them in like a bedroom with like one of those things that people give to their cats to climb on

[@brentgreen1434]

How do you train them to go to the bathroom in one area.

[@unoriginalusername1284]

Learn their schedule. My GC blue / Cuban hybrid goes once in the morning, once at night, like clockwork. I just pull him out of his cage, put him in his newspaper-lined litter box, and let him do his thing. He knows that's where to go because I give him a bath every day; when he does that squatty thing (if you've had an iggie of any kind for a while, you know what I mean), pull him out of the tub and put him in the litter box, and go crazy over him or reward him somehow or both. My lil guy goes wacko for praise (kind of like a parrot), so that's what got him to poop there consistently, but others could be different. It'll take a while, but just keep plugging away at it and it'll probably work out eventually. Remember, though, even potty-trained animals can and will have accidents. Good luck!

[@eliotlopez2652]

Do the rock iguana bite ? Do they become aggressive?
