    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am in Miami, FL (He does not come w a tank) But he is used to free roaming around the house and goes in the tank to use the bathroom/eat/bask. I would trade him for a bearded dragon also if you rather

More pictures of him :) please help me find him a good home I rescued him from his previous owners which did not know how to properly take care of an iguana. They were housing 5 iggys in a 50 gal tank with a house light and feeding them only lettuce and apples :( so I bought them all in order to rescue them. 1 died he had really bad metabolic bone disease from the improper care. 1 I released in my backyard but later found out as nice as that seems there are too many cruel people who won't let them be :( and the other 2 I found homes for but I had to stay with this male since he is not tamed he has been harder to find a home for but I cannot keep him. plz helps

There are many iguanas that live a good life being wild in FL just not by where I live and they are meant to be wild so it is not a irresponsible thing to do. Especially when no one wants the iguana. Do you rather it be miserable all its life living in a place that is too small?

It is a non-native species to Florida that has no natural predator to keep their numbers in check. They are meant to be wild in the natural range of where they come from, and Iguanas don't come from Florida. They established themselves here in Florida via the pet trade and irresponsible owners releasing them.

When you rescue an animal you have to know and understand that you may stuck with it forever. The responsible thing to do when you rescue an animal is to care for it or find some responsible to care for it. If you cant do either, then its simply no better off then who you rescued it from.

Your heart is in the right place, but your thinking certainly isn't. I can cite many reasons they shouldn't be released but I'm sure it wouldn't change your opinion.
 
I am trying to re-home the iguana. And no it would have been way worse off if it would had stayed with the current owner and would have a slow painful death.

So by setting it free it would be more humane if it died being electrocuted on a utility pole, or falling to its death through a cold snap when temps fall low enough and long enough, or at the hands of a home owner who cares more about her plants adding curb appeal than ending up as food for a feral iguana, or etc etc etc...? Death is death, slow or otherwise.

Your heart is in the right place, I truly admire what you're doing, but you cant save everything. Do one rescue at a time and don't do another until that one has been rehabilitated and re-homed and you'll really see the difference you're making. For sure you wont feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.

Please understand that I totally respect what you are doing.

:iagree:

Don't forget the people who in Florida who are collecting Igs and euthanizing them by sticking them in their freezers.

I'm not saying this to be mean or offend you and I agree your heart is in the right place but please don't release anymore captive animals whether they are native or not but especially nonnative species. Florida is having enough problems with irresponsible people releasing non native animals you don't want to add to the problem. As I'm sure your aware of it can cause a lot of damage to the environment, other animals and could also end up being more cruel to the animal if one of the many things mentioned above occur.

I wish you luck in finding him a good home.

I think everyone posting's heart is in the right place, but let's not deter the next person from asking for help. Sometimes emails can come out looking more harsh than intended.
I'm not sure you've read it, but Melissa Kaplan has a great site on just about everything. I'm including a link I got off her site but if you can't get to it, then google her name. Here's the link and good luck!
