Any wild animal kept as a pet, no matter how tame they may seem, can suddenly and unpredictably become aggressive. Sometimes it is only temporary, sometimes it may be a permanent. This is a fairly common occurrence with animals which have not been neutered and the animal becomes sexually mature. I have raised a number of orphaned raccoons as well as other small mammals and other animals and the behavior is not limited to just the mammals. Iguanas, especially males, can become dangerous once they approach adult size and sexual maturity.
