Not really. The problem is a slipknot will tighten as the ig pulls. The barrel locks ... |

Not really. The problem is a slipknot will tighten as the ig pulls. The barrel locks in place.

This is Rex being walked with his leash by my son.
Leashes are not an easy thing for iguanas. We have used a leash on Rex since he was a wee iglet and it took a very long time for him to get used to it. In the meantime, not being very educated on leash use, we managed to permenantly damage three of Rex's spikes where the leash went over the shoulder, so be very careful with a harness.
Knowing what I know now, I would opt to use a rear hip leash, but Rex goes crazy whenever we try to use one.
