My iguana was very friendly with people and dogs (minus just a few he didn’t like). In fact, he looked a lot like the iguana in this video.
Here’s the secret. Iguanas come into this world as social animals. The eggs hatch and the babies look out for one another. Before long, they outgrow that and go their separate ways.
But if you adopt one when it’s still just this little green thing who likes to ride on your shoulder, he will remain a social animal for all his life. Humans, dogs, cats–these lizards are quick to make friends.
And they’ll even play Fetch with you.
