I Was Wrong About Iguanas! My New Green Iguana Experiences
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 11. 2019
- Green iguanas were an animal I had no interest in, and I saw them as very difficult and nearly impossible to work with. Although some of those experiences are still similar, I now have second impressions on green iguanas thanks to my new experiences with these lizards that get really big and super powerful. The iguana in this video was roaming the woods of North Carolina before being caught by animal control and police, and somehow I ended up with it!

I love how you and the iguana are just judging Stan as he falls off his rock
Hilarious

Ah ha let's all gatheround and laugh at Stan the town boomer

“No personal connection” as he gently strokes him and constantly treats him and admires him
Some people do that to all friendly animals, myself included. I don't feel personal connection to every little guy i happen to meet. And I really like giving pets treats, cause that makes them do interesting stuff.
Yep I watched this video with my wife, as we recently found an iguana. She noticed that and commented "just like our dog first you save it, with intentions to foster, then bring it back to health, soon you are petting it, once you give it a name there is no getting rid of it!"
Thomas Shipley yeah my Great Dane is a foster fail, he’s just such a good boy
My aunt had an iguana that was like a dog. He would crawl around the house, go to sleep on the couch, he would snuggle up to you, and he was such a cool animal

@@KristenRobertskris10lr sounds like animal abuse to me... I could be wrong tho
@@numbblackpicture I don’t want to start anything, but how does this sound like animal abuse? I’m assuming she had a heated area for the iguana if that’s what you mean

“Assuming being with me is thriving” I love that you receive a “wild” animal and don’t immediately assume “OH HE LOVES ME HES SO HAPPY” stay humble. ❤️
“Nobody else is gonna keep it” - every animal I own was based on that.
I had an iguana his name was Groot. When I first got him he was pretty young and BoNkErS! He would tail whip and he even bit me a few times.
After a lot of handling, socializing and showing him I wasn’t going to eat him, he chilled out. Groot eventually stopped tail whipping, He also never showed any signs of being territorial. People convinced me once he went through his “puberty” he would switch up but he never did.
He had his own enclosure but he mainly enjoyed being free roamed. He enjoyed basking in the window and his favorite treat was mango.
Lol, sounds familiar. I have an iguana named Firnen and instead of mangoes, his favorite snack is blueberries. He doesn't care for mangoes much.
I have mine still we dont know if its a girl or a boy yet because his flap under his mouth hasnt grown because hes small rn but we assume hes a dude and call him red and he does the same thing
@@kya5731 the dewlap isn't what determines whether an iguana is a boy or a girl; when they're older (I think about two years old or so but don't quote me on that) there will be these spots on the bottoms of their back legs called "femoral pores", if they're bigger it's a male, if they're smaller it's a female. Googling it will probably make more sense than my explanation though X3
@@kya5731 I didnt find out mine was for sure a girl until she laid eggs. Shes a big beefy girl
@@SaleenSundria Girl Iguanas are usually stubbier than males and much more smoother, It is a much easier way to tell them apart from that
I used to be my neighborhood's Iguana specialist since I had raised one to be one big chonky boy... until he finally passed away
i've had an iguana since i rescued him about 7 years ago, and he's a bit of a jerk but i love him! it's nice to see them being appreciated by a channel i adore (but yeah even though iggy is my heart and soul i would NEVER recommend getting one, he was turned into a local animal shelter when he was very small and i didn't know what i was getting into agreeing to take him on)
I would recommend them. If and ONLY if you handle them and have a good environment for them
@@unscripted483 Let's be honest, if you can actually care for an Iguana, you don't rely on recommendations, you already know it. It's an immense amount of work, time and resources that goes into an animal like that, so anyone who can take on that challenge has done all his homework already and removed all the guesswork. If you're looking for recommendable pet reptiles, an Iguana is probably not your choice.
Exactly. I really love mine and would never give up on him, hes such a sweetheart, but ive also had experience with other iguanas, that were not as friendly, and its a real pain in ass to figure things out with them. That being said, I wouldnt reccomend it to anyone, who isnt willing to sacrifice his time, lifespace and sanity. Also, mine is a rescue too lol. Ive seen so many of these guys being rehomed so many times.
Same thing with painted turtles honestly
@@Puntilaser thats a good way of putting it if you truly want one recommendations wont mean anything you'll learn and do if you really want to and if you are on the fence its usually a good idea not to i got one when i wasnt ready but i was dedicated enough to make myself ready took alot of time alot of time every time i walked past the enclosure there was work to do cleaning the food/water bowl constantly just getting my iguana to get used to my hand took hundreds of hours but then again there personality's is what makes it all worth it
“This one is friendly, kind of, when he wants to be” same.
You two seem so comfortable with each other. Like you trust the iguana to not absolutely murder your finger, and he looks rather comfortable on your shoulder.
It’s kinda adorable
Last time I was this early Alex was still getting whipped by the iguanas tail
sounds accurate
@@GoHerping lol
I trust Clint's Reptiles when he says, "Don't get an iguana." lol
I feel like it's the equivalent of getting a lynx instead of a house cat: you could probably do it if you have a shit ton of money, time, and land.
its like the reptile version of buying a cockatoo (though theyre probably way more complicated)
@@dumbsterdives I'd probably say he's comparable to a macaw. Cockatoos are like toddlers on cocaine, macaws are a bit more chilled out and cuddly but still have that danger of taking a finger if mistreated

When I was younger my mom used to work at a gym. The owners kept a green iguana named Gumby in a back room with some old buckets of toys, a torn up couch, and a heat lamp. I would spend most of my days after school hanging around the gym and playing with Gumby. He was around 4 feet long and was incredibly friendly. He used to climb up and sit on my shoulders and he loved being pet. One time he escaped and climbed a tree so we had to call the fire department. No point to this story but this video gave me major nostalgia.
Edit: “be careful around their face, feed with tongs”
10 year old me used to pet Gumby’s face and hand feed all the time lmao
When the beardy fell off his basking spot it cracked me up😂
I'm not really a part of this community and I dont own any reptiles.
I just find Alex really entertaining and find the animals fascinating. so notifications for new vids make me happy. Also even though I'm not really a part of the community I can FEEL the shade he throws. lol
also the cutie falling off his basking spot sent me into hysterics and idk why. 😂 poor thing.
I am also not part of the community, I do support Herping's work though as a lot of people buy Reptiles and can't handle them. I mean a lot of people released turtles into the wild here in the UK because of the Turtle crazy in the 90s. People buy reptiles on a whim and can't handle them or get bored with them and instead of going to lengths to rehouse them, they can't be bothered.
It happens a lot with Herping, things go wrong and he just stops... And stares at the thing that went wrong... And the way he does it is funny.
I appreciate it, I mean anyone else would have cut it out.
There are a lot of people who enjoy learning about reptiles who don’t own them, I would still say you are a part of the community!

I wonder if you letting him roam around makes him more chill.
It does and it most likely keeps him stimulated and not a lazy, grumpy,unhealthy asshole

@@elinorceledemotro2696
What tag did you use to get that?
Never mind, CZcams doesn't like html tags. Now I'm really curious.
Iguana's have a little more going on upstairs then meets the eye. They definitely seem to learn.
"I don't feel a lot of personal connection to him" I call bullshit Alex y'all are in love u have to keep him >.
From what I've learned from iguana keepers it really feels like iguanas that are really chill are bonded to their keepers. I knew a chick whose iguana loved her but would tail whip everyone that came near him- or her. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground with iguanas. They either love you or hate you.
Most of them hate you and haven't even met you.
Exactly my blue axantic iguanna hates me but my green one Mrs. Maryguanna is puppy dog tame allways wants to be petted lol
Mine hates me 😞 I’m tired of getting hurt from him, he’s getting crazy strong and large
My parents had 2 male iguanas before we were born and then my brother had a male iguana. So much tail whipping and he shit on my bed :/ top bunk
@@hopecotney510
Hope it ain’t too late for you and your iggy, but repetition is key when it comes to bonding. It’s going to take a while before your iguana is nicer, but that’s only going to happen if you interact with them everyday. Respectfully.
Talk to them or talk around them so they get used to your voice. Offer food directly either by hand (if the portion is big enough to where he can’t rip a finger off, obviously) or by tongs, sit in a closed off space with them so they get used to your presence (also offer food during this out time), and most importantly... make your movements around them slow and obvious. You should never be moving too fast around an untamed iguana, that’ll just startle them even more. Another very important thing to remember is, if you’re going to pick up your iguana and it isn’t tamed yet, never try to man handle/ grab them. Scoop them up from underneath, feed them while you’re holding them, and be gentle.
During direct feedings, you can try and get them used to being touched by gently stroking their backs while they’re chewing. If you feel that might be too risky, wear a thick glove. It also goes without saying, but know their language.
Direct feeding and out time should be an everyday thing!
We have a free roaming iguana in our house and he loves my mom and I but HATES my dad before they got divorced he would tail whip him every day
7:03 “He only poops in the water, which is pretty nice.”
Peepee Poopoo it really is tho, my Australian water dragon only poops in the water so it makes cleaning it super easy.
I love iguanas, I think they're beautiful and majestic, I even have one tattooed on my right arm, but I would never keep one as a pet. I've done the research, and know full well it's not for me.
Stan falling off his basking spot had me dead😂😂😂
Love how you're leaning into the perpetual drama surrounding the reptile community. Very entertaining.
I didnt even know their was reptile community drama lol
@@kristenwhitley9775 it's mostly who has the worst care
@@kristenwhitley9775 Also, spider ball python breeding which Alex jumped right into. Check out his vid, which got plenty of responses from other reptile CZcamsrs.
I have an iguana and i love the shit out of him. I know that they can be a pain in the ass, but once they get to know you they will love you forever. Mine loves me and hates everyone else. Which I'm working on.
lord lucifer I like hearing positive stories. I’ve always wanted an iguana, growing up. I finally got one as an adult, at 34. I got myself a young red iguana. He’s about 6 months. So far he’s pretty okay... when I reach my hand into the tank to grab him at first he’ll resist a little by trying to crawl out, but then he settles and let’s me hold him just fine and just chills while I rub his back and sides. I’m hoping if I hold him all the time while he’s young, he’ll be a tolerable iguana. I just love them and really want it to work out.
I own 2 green iguanas and both are legitimate rescues. While rehabbing them, I had to handle them a lot and I think that makes a huge difference. Honestly though, even the most difficult iguanas I have worked with, at their core were just scared. A bit of understanding and patience goes a long way with that species. You can't expect them to trust you, you have to earn it and I like that about them. Mine are both very special to me, never whip or bite.

So happy to see my beardie isn’t the only klutz.
Mine does that too and then will just stare at you when she rights herself like "Say something. I dare you."
Watching this while snuggling my green Iggy and he looks legit offended lmao
I used to catch desert iguanas as a kid with my friends. And my uncle had a green iguana that basically acted like a puppy. He was super friendly and cuddly. So it’s funny hearing that people have had such a rough time with them 😅
You should go to reptile and amphibian day at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences! It's on March 14th and it's free 😁 (I'm a junior curator there so I'm trying to spread the word lol)
Im glad you changed your mind before it was too late, the Iguanas will spare you when your time comes
I actually laughed out loud when the lizard fell off from his sunplace

Also Goherping: starts feeding next to head
So glad you found him before it got too cold.

“You might be screaming... uh..... if it’s big enough”
Thank you Alex very cool
5am so hard not to laugh snd wake everyone up when Stan just slips off his basking spot, and you just stopped to stare snd judge
the one my grandmother had when i was a kid had the entire house; would get in the windows to bask and had other locations in the winter for heat. It also help that he knew where to use the bathroom. When I say the entire house i mean the entire 2 story house lol
Iguanas honestly do well as a free roam pet reptile. They are smart enough to understand how to get food/water and basking spots.
@@Meskarune dont they poo all over the house while ur not there?
@@owenf2835 No, iguanas can be potty trained and they go to their pen/cage to use the bathroom.
The beardie in the background is the lizard embodiment of me
I’m concerned the longer the lizards stay with you the more derpy they become
I had a green iguana. He ended up being around 6 ft long. We had a small bedroom that we converted into his room. We opened his door in the morning and he would walk free all over our home. We had dogs and cats that all got along with him. He even had his own recliner that he would chill on. He was one of my favorite pets. When I first got him my mom was scared of him. By the time he passed away my mom loved him and cried along with me. They can be great pets but for the right person. They need a LOT of time and attention if you want them to be super tame.
OMG he's so sweet. Just wants a warm home and food. Poor sweet boy.
im so happy you're posting more it literally makes my life.
He had to live that hard life now he understand having his own cage being hand fed ect isn't such a bad thing lol.
When Stan slipped I laughed so hard and his nails on his little hut I almost peed 😂
“Ow” “is that kinda hurts” ow that hurts a little bit”
4:55 "who knew there could be controversy in the reptile community. i love my community. do you love this community? i love this community"
I have an 8 year old iguana named Sam. I raised him from a hatchling. He's very sweet 98% of the time but he can definitely be a jerk. In my experience, if you're calm and sweet to them, they'll generally be calm and sweet back, after you've earned their trust that is, patience is key in that aspect. He's A LOT of work, so I definitely don't recommend anybody get one unless they're prepared and capable of putting forth the amount of effort it takes to keep these guys happy and healthy. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing abused and neglected iguanas. They're such beautiful intelligent creatures and they deserve proper care and respect. If you can get past their somewhat grumpy demeanor you'd be surprised just how much you can bond with them, they're actually very social animals. I won't go as far to say that they experience emotions like a human but they definitely have feelings, individual personalities and preferences. My iguana may not love me in the same way that I love him but he trust me implicitly and he regularly leaves his perch to seek out my company and will choose to snuggle up to me despite being provided with other heat sources. He definitely has some sort an attachment to me beyond just associating me with food and he seems to find comfort in my presence, if that's the closest to love I can get from a reptile, then it's good enough for me.
That elevator is straight out of my nightmares
I also live in NC so its very odd to find an iguana! Good luck taking care of this lad and I hope he’s healthy and happy in a warm home, especially with how cold it’s getting!
His happy posture when you were petting him!!!!!
0:19 the way he scurried away like a lil meerkat im crying
I love how every iguana has a different personality
Stan falling off the basking spot killed me 😂😂
The majority of iguanas I have been with are usually more on the jumpy side but I've noticed one day they can be chill, and other days not so much.
I had an iguana for 4 yrs before she passed very young that I received from a friend of my mom's. Her name was Cheney and her demeanor was a lot like the second iguana, but she was more calm.
My family took some adjusting but they ended up loving her as much as I did and she is still to this day, one of my favorite 'conversation starters' despite her recent passing. I loved her lots and grieving over her took a big toll on my college for awhile, but I'm happy to be able to have moved onwards after her.
I definitely wouldn't recommend having an iguana to start with to anyone, but if the means are available financially & spacially and the new owner felt they can take it; then I always wish the best of luck seeing as they require lots of husbandry and patience as a larger species.
Thank you lots for taking care of the iguanas you have in your care, it's always very refreshing to see good treatment of these big greenies.
0:18 seeing it skitter behind the wall made me laugh for a solid minute straight
I love him!! he sounds like such a good little iguana- I hope he gets a good home

Beautiful iguana by the way!
Thank you so much for all you do for these animals. I am so impressed with all the things you know and always learn something everything time I watch your videos. And love your sense of humor. I'm sure you will be a huge part of why others decide to take an interest in these animals and love and care for them. You are an awesome young person!
I'm glad you have had a positive second go around with iguanas ... I have one as well as a Black throat monitor
How are black throats compared to iguanas? I love black throats and I've heard that they are one of the best monitors, being the calmest and chillest. How true is that though?
@@poofypoofball3879 I've had the black throat monitor for about 6 yrs I've only had the iguana for about five months. I'm just now getting her use to me.

Me: *will never get a green iguana ever*
Alex: *makes this video*
Me: well, guess I'm learning about green iguanas.
HE KNOWS WHERE HIS HOME IS THATS SO ADORABLE
I've found the best thing to make big lizards warm up to you is to hold them and cuddle them when they are sleepy.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I'm glad huge fan and keeper of reptiles and have been since I was a young girl. You and Afroherp keeper are my favorite hands down and I learn something new, almost every video. I used to have two iguanas, male and female and they eventually died of old age. My male got so huge, we had to build a small room and while he wasn't too great with us (I still have a scar on my calf 20+ years later) he put up with us long enough to keep him and his room clean and him fed and all the necessary things. Because they were such a big responsibility and took a huge amount of care, I probably won't have one again. I'm from Washington and I'm known by animal control and others for properly caring for and loving reptiles, so when people move and abandon their reptiles in apartments and some other ungodly places, I'm called. I got called to an apartment where a fully grown female, probably the largest I've ever seen, with a pink jeweled collar on had been left. She had injured 3 others and whipped the hell out of a lady's face. She seemed to know I wasn't there to hurt her... Either that or she could sense I knew wth I was doing but anyway, she went home with me. She would only poop on linoleum and she ruled my house. I basically had a set up where she could bask, chill, eat and all that but she was free to roam. Ordered pizza one night... I set mine down to change the channel and she ran across my living room, jumped up on my coffee table, snatched my 1/4 piece of pizza and took off with it. Anything that was orangish/yellow in color, she wanted. She didn't like most men and trapped my roommate and his coworker in his room and I had to drive home from work and recuse them. She was chasing and whipping them and two grown men were terrified to the point they hid in a room. She would charge the door and head butt it... Crazy girl. The vet believes she was around 13 years old and although she was huge and seemed pretty damn healthy, he could tell she'd been neglected and it had taken a toll on her health. She lived for another almost 3 years, happy, sassy and free and I loved her. Dino dog she was nicknamed and if I ever had another iguana, I would hope to hell it would be just like her because she was so bad ass. Now, I'm a lover of beardies and I have a female with the coolest personality who also prefers to roam. She's on a pretty good poop schedule so I wait until she does her thing, and she's free to go. She's obsessed with my dogs chew toys and will try to munch on them, and she'll lay her whole fat body on it when the dog comes by. She's incredibly sweet and loves to be loved on and I honestly can't get enough of her expressions and attitude. People don't understand my love and fascination with reptiles but people like you do, and I love when I'm able to see very well cared for reptiles with people who obviously care for and love them like I do. BTW I love Stan... My beardie lays on her hide the same way, looking all chunky and happy and that's what makes my heart happy!
I remember my dad had an iguana for most of my early years. Looking back, we didn't have a proper set up for him at all. It was a very cool cage that he escaped all the time but it definitely wasn't ideal. Looking at pictures, he was still very happy and healthy, oddly enough. When he passed away, my dad was devastated. That was probably close to 20 years ago now and he still doesn't talk about it 😔 His name was Iggy (obviously) and he got to 4 feet long probably. My dad always wore gloves when he handled him but he was a pretty chill guy. Most of the time.
Hello love your rescues and all your reptiles 😊
thanks!
Alex, This vid. is a perfect example of why you're my favorite person on CZcams. :)
So WAY back in the 90s I was given a baby green iguana. I absolutely loved that boy. He was just the best. That, of course, was a long time ago and before we knew what we know now. He quickly outgrew the 150 gallon tank that I had him in and eventually had the run of my little apartment. Just like your little guy in this video he had an area where he would go to bask and an area where he went to be fed. As you can imagine I had to give him to an iguana rescue. I just felt so bad for him. That's no life for such a badass creature. They can be a joy and I miss him to this day but education is definitely the key. They just don't make very good house pets.
Keep up the good work, Alex. 😘

this really helped. I just got a Leopard Geko to start but I really wanted an Iguana. Based on the information you have provided I will have to give it a little more thought. thanks!
I live in North Carolina as well, which is awesome !
My brother just got an iguana hence the reason I decided to personally brush up on some knowledge of them ! thanks for the video bud !
Had iguanas all my life I find it easier to tame them as babies rather than when they are sort of grown they truly do have their own minds rather than a Chinese water dragon
My grandma used to have a iguana and she let her free roam the house and backyard she was never mean and always wanted love she would even use the doggy door if no one was opening the door for her
Is so good to hear how well you get to know your animals/reptiles ❤️❤️
Amazing beautiful creature, very cool, I hope he finds a good home, so nice you're taking care of him in the meantime
Cool cow you got there
I have worked with a LOT of green iguanas. The VAST VAST VAST majority of them are AWFUL with people. Just horrible. Terrible. Clint's Reptiles has my favorite video on the subject, frankly.
I have known a few like this guy, and they are really cool. Funnily, all the really chill ones were males, except for I think one female. My high school gf had one like the first iguana you had, Earl....Earl was basically dumped off on my ex and LOVED jumping up on her head. Earl was totally insane. I've always wondered what happened to Earl, but that would necessitate getting in contact with my ex.
My ex was WAY more insane than Earl.

i don’t have any reptiles, i dont know how i found ur channel, but literally i keep watching all of ur videos; they are so interesting and ur so adorable !! i have a new place in my heart for reptiles 🥺🥺
I love this channel, you are so relatable 😊
My beardie has the same basking spot and falls off just like that at least once a month lol
Blueberries were the way to my Iguana's heart! She was a great reptile. I got her as a young juvenile and kept ger in a glass enclosure for the first year or so. I held her everyday. She was skittish as first but eventually got use to the handling. Then i would keep her out for the time i was home and eventually set up her new home in the closet area. I secured some branches and heat lamps. She only bit me once,while i was feeding her. I think it was an accident. I couldn't really see since she was up in the closet eating and i was reaching to her. I would give her baths and take her outside to bask in the sun. I lived in AZ at the time. She was a beautiful Iguana, great temperament. Try blueberries! Thank you for everything you do!
