any other suggestions on what i should do for her to get used to me?

Not to be a 'wet blanket,' BWTB, but it is possible that she will never view you favorably. Abused animals have learned that humans are not to be trusted. Hopefully with a lot of patience you will be able to win her over.

Mean Iguana Update

Over the past month and a half, my relationship with Inca, the mean iguana has been much better. She is on a strict diet of letus for now, and doesn't freak out nearly as much. She is still very frightened at first, however she is getting better and better. I will be making her a better enclosure soon. There is one at scales and tailes that's a little more then seven feet long, and I'm glad she's getting under control before she's that big. Yikes!! I hope to have her tamed down in the next year.
