yup i will email him and pm him to contact me and give up his reptiles that are housed together or he will have 3days to get them to a good home.

That heat lamp appears to be on the inside of the enclosure.... I hope no one gets burned :-(

OK - knock it off, all of you.

Hope i don't get into trouble! But did these critters find a better home? Anyone know?

wow that picture made me want to cry, they all look so sad

3 years, try twenty years in the business. People like this are a dime a dozen all three animals can be picked up for practically nothing now days. Whoever is keeping these animals has no common sense. Sad thing is that you report this guy and maybe get his animals taken away but when i was at a reptile show a couple weeks ago I saw some guy selling almost dead monitors like this one in a ten gallon telling kids they make great first pets. Pet stores sell iguanas and red tail boas for a couple of bucks and the people working there don't know anything about reptiles. (probably working on min. wage) and I can't tell you how many people still bring baby water turtles home from vacation to have them die in a couple weeks. The problem isn't them its us. Reptile keeping used to be a professional hobby, now ten year olds are buying designer morph ball pythons that years ago would cost me over a $1000 now sell for $150. Herpetology is going downhill and its not this guys fault that he can't take care of his reptiles (yes he should take responsibility for his actions) but everyone today that keeps and sells massive amounts of animals for profit are all guilty for what's happening here. Just remember that when you want to point fingers.

Not to beat a dead horse but I'm pretty sure monitor lizards are illegal to keep in New York City as well.

Is this iguana still for sale? If so, how much and how old?

Thank you! Plus, all of you rude people don't even know the whole story, and you're already jumping to conclusions like typical stereotypical americans! Wait to find out the whole story before you start saying stuff like "he is a bad reptile owner" and crap like that!

Sorry hhmoore to take over your post like that. I just had my own things to add. Lol.

when everyone is told to knock it off by a mod, it's not a good idea to ignore.
