Stubborn Iguana Follows Owners To The Bathroom And Refuses To Leave | Cuddle Buddies
Orphe can’t resist the feeling of a warm bath. Whenever he’s feeling grumpy, his family will draw him a soothing bath and all is alright. Orphe became very independent in his new home, he has freedom to roam around and do whatever he feels most happy with. He has started climbing into bed with his owners for some cuddles and also watching TV together. Orphe has given them so much love and comfort. Everyday with him is just like the first.

If more people connected deeply to another species, the world would be a better place.
True, and to other humans also! 🦎😍❤
My beardie rarely ever leaves my shoulder when I'm with him. I have to carry him around the house a lot of the time.
INDEED! Shows how much affection can be felt...without words
Exactly what im thinking..✨️
Let's extend the connection to all fellow animals that are unnecessarily being exploited due to our demands.
So cute. That relaxing face when he was in the shower, I can totally relate. Ha ha
Thank you for your sweet comment! ❤️🐾
Yes! What an adorable Iguana ♥
خیلی نازه عاشق شون شدم 🦎❤
Aww just like a little green cat🦎💞💞
That’s true🥰
😄😂🤣👍‼️
Orphe is so adorable and a very sweet Iguana! Maybe if more grumpy people took soothing warm baths, the world would be a better place. Love this sweet story!🦎💚
Orphe is indeed a special iguana, and we're delighted to hear that you find him adorable and sweet. 🦎💚 Thank you for your kind words and for being a part of Orphe's story!
My brother. GRUMPY DUDE…. 😂😂😂
My Iguana loved to take a bath every morning. He used to sleep in my bed. Not when I went to bed but on cold mornings…there he was, under the covers cuddled with me. They are very personable.
🐱 Your iguana sounds absolutely amazing and incredibly personable! It's heartwarming to hear about the bond you shared, with those morning baths and snuggles.🦎💕
An honest question, but what to do with iguanas and when they need to pass waste? Do they use a litter box?
@@averagejoe4700 My iguana 🦎 would swim around in the tub. Not deep water, and when he got his swim he would ‘go’ in the tub. I guarantee we had the cleanest tub in town. When he was done he was immediately removed from the tub and dried off. The tub was sterilized and he walked out of the bathroom, through the loft and down the stairs and would wait for me in front of the refrigerator. Breakfast of course. 😊 We had a smaller “pool” he could use during the day if he needed to go. He had water bowls upstairs and downstairs for him to drink from. He would sit on the back of an upholstered chair in a corner window and watch the world go by or climb up on top of my doves cage in the loft and they would sit on top of the cage together and catch some sun from the sky light. Or he climbed up into a potted plant/tree I had and hang out there or climb up on top of his cat tower with a heating pad under a thick towel and look out the window and sleep. Nothing like having a spoiled iguana…
He’s really special, highly social and intelligent. What a blessing to have him, and the family is wonderful. God bless them and Orphe.
His green is very bright so to me that means he is super happy! 😊 So confident he thinks your his BFF too! ❤
Thank you for your sweet comment! ❤️🐾
Orphe is one cool guy! My best to you both. Thanks.
Thank you for your kindness. 🐾❤️
He's absolutely adorable. I think he's so mellow because he feels safe, loved and respected. Something every living creature on this planet needs and deserves. Thank you for being such a wonderful Mum and for sharing this story.
I had an iguana for 18 years and Orphe reminds me of him and the bond I had with him. The bond I had with him was like no other. They are amazing animals. Miss him everyday :/
Hes just so cuuuuuuuute!!! I love his personality, and tug of war! How fun!
❤️🐾
Awww.what an amazing little.friend...❤❤❤❤
I love reptiles. They are far more intelligent that most people think. Well socialized, captive bred iguanas are wonderful companion pets. You have done a great job raising yours.
except snakes though, they're kind of dim.
😂😂 snake 🐍dim???
He's adorable. Love how he eats. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😘🥰
WOW! Only goodhearted people can help and care for other living souls on this earth. Bravo for doing so.
What a gorgeous boy Orphe is. I'm so glad he has such a great loving home.🦎💚
I really miss my Godzilla he was the coolest lizard that a person could have may he rest in peace 🙏😔
It's like cuddling with a mini dinosaur. It's almost surreal, but is heart warming & fascinating to see!
I used to have an iguana and he acted just like this! He was so pampered and loved, he loved to cuddle and eat organic roses. 😢
I'm not even a reptile lover but those things are super cool
🦎💕
Iguanas dont have to think there human to love baths and blankets, my bearded dragon loves it to, and shows the same behaviour , but Orphe, he is really a special guy, i would love to have one like you, he is adorable ❤️ and stunningly beautiful, he is also very healthy because his green really pops. Have a good life together, you deserve it girl if you're so sweet and good to an animal like him!!❤❤🦎
Animals bring so much joy into their lives, and they're grateful for every moment with Orphe. ❤️ Wishing you a wonderful day, and sending some extra love to your bearded dragon! 🦎😊
This is so great. You're definitely communicating, and he's definitely spoiled.
😊🦎🌟
I had an iguana before, raised him from a tiny little lizard baby. He was the green scaley son I never had. RIP Iggy
My Iguana would close his eyes and pretend he was asleep when he didn't want to interact with me. He would also climb on the middle of my back where it was hard for me to pull him off.
Nice green child ❤
❤️🐾
The lady in the vid is a dino mom
I used to LOVE laying down and snuggling my bearded dragon... He would tuck into my neck. I miss him so much 😢
Orphe likes Michael Jackson.. I saw the Billie Jean cameo lol
🦎📚
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel Thank you for sharing your video about Orphe.. he is cute 😊❤️
I’ve never ever seen an iguana be so cute and cuddly!!
1:17 he’s really sitting at the table eating…😂 Too cute!
People who say reptiles don't have feelings just don't understand them. They may not emote the same way mammals do, but many reptiles are very intelligent and look forward to interactions with their owners.
Too cute 🥰
🦎💕
I worked with a guy who had an iguana in Vegas... it's was HUGE. He use to put it in a harness and bring it into work (on day off) to pick up his check. One of the coolest thing I ever saw and got to pet.
That sounds like quite the memorable experience! A giant iguana in a harness visiting the workplace must have been a unique sight. It's wonderful that you had the opportunity to interact with it and even pet it.😊🦎🌟
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel Nothing like seeing an huge iguana on a leash strolling across the casino floor. It was truly a beautiful, amazing sight to see. One I'll never forget, despite Vegas having some very "unique things". Another friend had a large Albino Python ... another beauty in her own right. I tend befriend and gravitate towards people who are pet guardians that love and respect life, in ALL its "other forms". They just seem to represent the best of humans in my book.
Little Dragon 🥰❤
As a kid, I used to want an iguana simply because I thought reptiles were cool-and they are! But I’m sure it requires A LOT of time and effort to keep them healthy and happy. But I known that they were so full of intelligence and personality like Orphe, I probably would’ve been the most devoted kid alive! 😂
meh.. give em food, keep em warm, dont step on them, clean up their poo, then modestly socialize with them and give them something to play with or hunt on occasion.. easier than cats, nowhere near as destructive as rodents.
I remember my brother having one that acted like a dog. When my brother woke up she wake up, when he played video games, she would sit and watch him. She would visit my room when my brother wasn't around because she hated being by herself. She was so weird. She loved being petted. ALL of our animals at the end want to be petted, even our chickens and ducks. You can tell a lot about a person by how well they treat nonhuman animals.
Just wait till he grows older. Mine was just as cute and cuddly the first few years. Now he's unpredictable, sweet one moment, jumping at me to bite the next. I still love him to bits and interact with him every day but I miss those days when he would chill out on the bed next to me or sleep on the bookcase or inside the wardrobe.
My daughter used to keep chameleons. They were fabulous, friendly creatures with a curious nature. They used to tap on the glass when they saw her because they loved walking around the room on her shoulder.
Such a gorgeous, adorable creature! I too, love reptiles but I think the iguanas and geckos are my favourite!
Thank you for your kindness. 🐾❤️
. *ORPHE IS PERFEC !!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.*
He's beautiful! ❤
💗😊🦎
Thank you for giving him a chance.... and then finding out that you're glad you did.
We are all lucky to experience the love of a pet baby❤.
Never saw more expression from an egauna!! Thank you for sharing such a precious relationship!
This is so wholesome and adorable. That is a pet to cherish! ❤❤❤❤
🦎Orphan 🦎 is so precious in his blanket 🛌! I'm so happy that he has such a loving mummy 🥰😘
I know the feeling. Grumpiness can be chased away by a warm bath!. Perfect cure-all for humans and iguanas. He's certainly quite a character...
That it's amazing. I've never seen an iguana smile like that! 😊
Aaaw stunning , ❤ i miss my "Iggy"
❤️🐾
Lizards are cute. My family finds me weird for loving reptiles 😁
❤️🐾
I find your family weird.
A long time ago I had an Iguana. He was a cool pet. I'm glad you did research on his care. It's pretty important to make sure that you know what you are getting into. PS: I used the pseudonym Lana Iguana sometimes.
Weird? This is amazingly Wonderful. I just love stories like these, that forces you to reconsider what you think you know about any species.
He has great taste in music.
Loved him grumpy in the shower. What a little man ❤❤❤
He is precious and has found the perfect home.
Orphe responded to the LOVE and inclusion into this wonderful kind family ♥
Oh he is so beautiful and loving. I love the close bond you have. It’s not weird at all as we were meant to have interaction with all animals. You enjoy him. He’s a funny little man 😂
Bless him he's adorable ❤️
Thank you very much for sharing
As long as you provide his everyday needs .It's o.k with me.Hes a lucky guy
Ein wunderschönes Tierchen !
This is so funny and cute she spoils him just like a little baby❤
Beautiful.❤❤❤
I learned something! 💞
Me too. I didn't realize that iguanas can be cuddly. So cute! 💕
🦎💕
He is so beautiful hope he is happy living with humans .....❤️🌹🌺🌸
Wonder well kept healthy her back legs look gr8 ( easy way to tell if they are too skiny ) . I had one and bath time meant my arms where shredded to pieces. My guy would hide his head thought he was hidden but the other 4 feet were sticking out )
Pets have their unique personalities and quirks, and it's clear your iguana brought a lot of joy and laughter into your life. 🦎😄🌿
Precious, Adorable baby ❤❤❤❤❤
😊🦎🌟
I love him! So sweet and handsome.
Cutest thing..
YAY! Another iguana mommy!!!!! This makes my heart so happy and sentimental 💚🥰💚 Most home iguanas are almost the same and truly loooove their family! And this is unbelievable and beautiful and wonderful and helps not feel so depressed about the world! Please take good care of your big boy and tell him he has an iguana cousin in California 😂👍🏼💚🥰💚 Lots of love, Minuit & his mom 💚♥️🦎♥️💚
Precious! Thank God for animal loving people in this world!
i love that you have shared this. you said some people tend to not see what you and Orphe see in one another. There is and there never will be a statement more true than someone sharing the stories of life with an iguana. You also said that iguanas tend to be somewhat aloof to a degree but for whatever reason Orphe has shown otherwise. This point, can also be paired to answer why not all people are blessed to share a life and love with iguanas - iguanas, and i've always said this, are the cats of the reptile world. I began raising iguanas when i was just 10 yo. After 15 years, in 2020, my Bendis and I had to say goodbye to one another - they were words neither of us, i don't think, ever really considered or understood. The emotional connection between iguanas and others causes the mind to truly question reality in an almost mystical way. I've had friends who would catch themselves (long after i'd already corrected them) describing Bendis in the most 'non-iguana' related ways: Using descriptive words to others like "Ben had, blonde hair? no... brown..." they'd become stuck until finally you'd hear "No. Iguanas haven't got hair." when they realised what they'd said, they'd say with the most genuine surprise "Oh wow. No he wasn't human." For the people naysayers and agitators, I say this: Bendis died on 22 January, 2020 - nigh four years ago now. In that time and without a break, I miss him in ways nobody who hasn't felt this sort of connection, will ever understand. Iguanas truly are stoic, in every way. But stoicism isn't all of an iguana's personality/psychology. I truly believe that all the most unexpected things about iguanas, are owed to the understanding and found in the culture from the stories of the Mayan chief deity, Itzamna. They're so much more than just an animal. Humans, dogs, cats - birds are just animals. Iguanas... well I don't know what I'd say iguanas are, but it has made for a very fulfilling life to ever have had the chance to ever pondering and hoping to find the right words to describe the absolutely unconditional love and joy they bring into our lives. You're an awesome and beautiful person and I am so grateful Orphe has you. Take it from me, Orphe is the way he is entirely because of the love and bond you both share, with every bit of love, toby.
He’s Amazing.
My roommate and I had an iguana in college. Loved that girl. They are a blast
He’s gorgeous.
He has a very happy facial expression!!!!
My cousin had one of these years ago, it was always cranky and tried to bite at you and ontop of that you find it hiding in the strangest parts of the house
It seems like your cousin's iguana had quite the personality! Some iguanas can indeed be a bit cranky and territorial, especially when they feel threatened. Their tendency to find unusual hiding spots is a common behavior too; they have a knack for exploring unexpected corners of a home. While they may not always be the cuddliest of pets, their unique behaviors can make them intriguing companions in their own right. Thanks for sharing your cousin's experience with us! 🦎😄🏡
Iguana: I desire the warm water, Mother.
What a beautiful boy!
He is so handsome
He is beautiful! And thriving with all of the love!
Mini dinosaur 😊❤

Little cute T-Rex…. He has a great personality! I have a blind pet possum (Odin) and he is so amazing..!
Absolutely stunning creature! So cute too, just love him 😍
awww adorable.
I had a green iguana for 15 year- great pet! I miss Charlie Boy.
I own animals of All kinds. Learning to understand each of their own unique languages has helped immensely on my understanding of animal communications. My Axolotl is the most communicative one!
I´m so glad that you even though you were interested in an iguana you did all the research needed prior and got ready. That´s how it´s done! More so for these types of animals.
Awwww❤
