Iguanas are not like cats/dogs, you have a 50/50 chance if your ig will ever tolerate you as its human slave. Some igs will never like humans, some will tolerate us. They are wild animals.
Since you've say you've only had your ig for a few months, he/she may not trust you yet. It can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to never for your ig to trust you. If it's a young ig, it's just being a typical young ig to me since you say its "mean".
Iguanas are dominate or submissive, if you allow your ig to be the dominate ig, then he/she has won and you have lost. If you need to remove everything from his/her enclosure then you need to remove everything out of his/her enclosure to get him/her out. A young ig shouldn't live in anything smaller then a 55 gallon tank, if it is in anything smaller, this could be another reason why it is "mean" has no room.
Enclosure needs to be at least 1.5-2 times it's total length ... an adult you will need a space of 6-7ft tall x 8-10ft long x 4ft wide. ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
