Needs lots of time and training to be "tamed" pretty docile compared to other iguana species though. Can get aggressive especially males during the breeding season

All reptiles need to be handled to keep calm . So just work with them It will be OK . I have had iguanas and they for the most part let you know when to back off . It's also smart to handle them in the morning or evenings . When they are cooling down . This way it takes a little of the fight out of them . So you can tame them down .

A buddy had one. Very flighty when young, but it tamed down a bit when it got older. It would still wig out when you first picked him up, but would calm down after 10 seconds of panic.

I would not consider these the tamest of the iguanas in general.

Some breeders keep their young iguana colder than normal so that they don't have enough energy to be bitey or skittish
