Iguana Harness

Iguana harnesses are a safe, humane and fun way to give your iguana some extra exercise.

The smaller and younger and healthier iguanas are the faster they are. If you haven't bought one you'll find that as an adult of 3+ feet in length your iguana will be relatively easy to catch. Not just because he's hand longer to get tame, but also because he's slower.

Young iguanas are very skittish indeed and move like greased lightning. If you lose one in your house like I did when I tried to make my own iguana cage and didn't put the doors in securely enough and got home to find a tiny gap where the little sod had escaped you'll be amazed how difficult they can be to catch.

Giving your iguana extra exercise is a really good idea which he will likely thoroughly enjoy when he gets used to being around you, and it also gives you a chance to get him tamer that he would get in his cage.

Stroke him gently. Feed him tasty morsels such as mealworms or grapes from your hand. Just get him used to being around you.

It'll really pay off later in his life when he's almost as big as you are!

And this is when a iguana harness really is a great idea. What's more they're dead cheap too so it's a risk-free investment.

In appearance most of them are an oval of soft, pliable leather, in a variety of colors.

They have 4 holes cut in them - two big ones, and two small ones.

The two bigger holes which are in the middle are what you put your iguanas front legs through.

The two smaller holes are at the far ends of the iguana harness and through these pass some soft cord which serves to do it up safely, so iguana harnesses work similar to a straight jacket - with a closing at the back which you control.

I even take my iguana out into the garden for some real sunlight and warmth in the summer and have never had any problems with my iguana harness.
