I have an iguana so I speak from experience. He would CONSTANTLY whip me and it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, him being a baby and all but it is still an annoying quality. I am still learning how to get him to stop running from me or to stop flailing but he doesn't whip. What I did was everyday I'd hold him at LEAST 3 times, you must hold him with a grip not tight enough to harm him but not loose enough to where he can get out. His claws will be sharp so you must be prepared to get scratched. If you're not willing to endure such a feeling, wear gloves, just remember don't hold him tightly. After a while of holding him tight, he'll stop his flailing, his scratching, and his whipping! Mine scratches ONLY when he is not sure of what's going on and he attempts to get free when he sees the ground. Good luck :)
