I have 2x 2ft bosc monitors.
A male green iguana(who keeps head bopping at me and tries to attack me when i go near his viv..so he may be a small problem!)

A red tegu who is about 6months old and beautiful.
A chuckwalla
And still looking after the baby boscy.

So people any advice...

Hiya Chuck
Just increase your hygiene standards, & let you other half do the viv maintenance, water changes, feeding etc.

lol raised two of my children around the herps my boy was in my rep room the morning after he hatched lol i mean was born and my daughter has been the same and both have no ill effects except a very healthy appetite for collecting more reps lol and my wife has help with the rep all the way through pregnancy twice, as said just make sure you wash up properly after and don't over do it, as you know the iggy may be a problem as they tend to pick up on human hormones more than others and he behaviour may just get worse but again this is down to how you feel around him if your uncomfortable working with him may be worth finding a temp home for him.

snap all three of my kids have been born and brought up with reptiles,just got to remember hygene,wash hands before you go near them after messing/sorting the reps
just be prepared to spend more money on more reps once their big enough to handle etc
