Owning an iguana as a pet requires careful consideration due to their potential for aggression towards their owners or others. Despite providing love and care, iguanas may still exhibit aggressive behavior under certain circumstances.
Iguanas are not domesticated animals and, unlike cats and dogs, they still possess wild tendencies. During the breeding season, male iguanas may become aggressive due to their natural mating instincts. However, this behavior typically subsides over time. Additionally, environmental factors such as changes in temperature, loud noises, or introducing new animals to the household may cause stress in iguanas, leading to aggressive behavior.
If you suspect your iguana is exhibiting signs of stress, the first step is to identify the cause. If it is due to a new pet or excessive noise, try separating them to avoid further stress. It is also important to provide a camouflaged hiding place for your iguana to retreat to when feeling overwhelmed. If the cause is related to changes in the environment, ensure that all of the necessary requirements for your pet's well-being are met and allow time for your iguana to adjust. Lastly, it is important to monitor your iguana's diet and ensure that their nutritional needs are being met, as deficiencies can also lead to aggressive behavior.
