sexing and potty traing

[RobK.]

using a clear tub and it easy to tell for sure if its a male at 1 1/2 year . after he/she is done pooping , if its a male you will see his Hemipenis. This also it keep you cage spotless . At first i had to put my hands over his head to keep him from climbing out / Now he just set there until he is done .

You may be able to see it Hemipenis before he's a 1 1/2 years old , ???? not sure as i did not do this until he was .

done , no mess ever in his cage . the room and his cage always smells clean and fresh and WAY LESS bacteria . One more thing , i would not do this until he/she is calm and whatsoever tame .

sure is nice not having to smell his poop . I started doing this when i got him back from the vet . I wanted to keep him and his cage as spotless as i could .
I can believe all the typos i did on this thread . I am NOT the best speller BUT i sure messed up on this one .LOL

Can baby iguanas be potty trained like that? How difficult it it?

From what I've read, iggys seem to be the easier lizards to potty train. I know many pet iguanas who use litter boxes. If you look on the Wikipedia page for "Iguanas in Captivity" there's a photo of a rather large male actually using a toilet like he's people.
