hey there,
im a rescue of iguanas here in southwestern ontario. I am experiencing something i havent really watched in my own iguanas before. We brought in an iguana and our big male took notice. however the other one we brought in was female. SHE gets on top of the big male and bites the crest of the male. and they chase eachother. what can i do about this as they are both free roamers..they get along but sometimes the female chases the male and bites the crest.

When there's an aggression issue like that, it's not a bad idea to try and find a place where the female can call the space her own. Do you have a closet you can empty out to use as her home base so she has some territory of her own?

As i stated, i am a rescue, of course i have a place to put her however they have been living side by side free roaming, when one goes somewhere the other one goes, they only fight like that very seldomly
