My Rhino Iguana (Cyclura Cornuta Cornuta)

awesome iguana man! do they get pissed and headbutt things? haha.

LOL. He used to try to ram me and/or bite me every time I got near him. He used to run at me and he would ram whatever solid object I jumped over to get out of his way.

One of the two times he actually got me was when I wasn't quick enough setting down the food bowl. He gave me a really quick bite on my finger. It barely bled, so I could definitely tell it was just a warning. He could have shredded my finger if he wanted to. That was quite a while ago though.

The only other time he got me was when I picked him up to move him while I did some work on his enclosure. I had to put him into a big Rubbermaid container and he was NOT happy about that. As I lowered him into the container, he caught my wrist with one of his rear claws and gave me a nice three inch gash. That one actually bled alot and left a scar. Can't blame him though. I wouldn't have wanted to go into that box either.

Well the hybrid Blues are pretty easy to get ahold of and still get a really nice shade of blue to them, so I might just settle for one of those. I would love to have a pure one, but they are proving to be extremely hard to find. A friend of mine is in the business and he's scouting one for me (check out his site at www.ridgewayreptiles.com). Anyway, we'll see.
