green iguana fear of spots.

[marisa]

Anyone else have a Green Iguana who is scared of spots/patterns, but not colors?

Roxy is not afriad of anything normally. She is a confident iguana at all times. She puts up with moving, running around the house, cats, dogs, all colors, petting, handling, even vets probbing her lol, etc etc etc. She is over 5 feet so most of the time she knows/thinks she is boss over the world.

But if you are wearing spots or have anything with spots she turns into a scared, nut ball. Once I replaced her stuffed animal with a toy stuffed dalamation. She literally murdered it and wouldn't get near it. She almost broke her plexiglass before I could get it out. A replaced THAT one with some solid colored purple lizard thing which she has no problem with and lays on it like a pillow.

Today I was wearing white pajama pants with black dog foot print spots all over them with a black shirt. I walked into the area where her cage is and noticed she was flattening her body out, and leaning over the the extreme side of the branch so she could hide. She was eye balling my pants like a wild animal!

Anyone else's? I just am curious as I find it kinda weird what these iguanas see as a threat.
