Hey guys
I rescued a 2 year old iguana from a home that had no idea how to take care of her. she was being kept on sand, had nothing to climb on and a sandy water bowl. also being fed nothing but that dry iguana food that looks like dog kibble.
I got her to eat a small handful of veggies (no lettuce) and she looks in ok health, by that i mean shes got a thick tail base, no scars or wounds.
I'm cleaning out all the sand today scrubbing the cage down but sadly its a tank so it opens from the top and she is not a fan of being held because the people didnt know much about iguanas. so ive been whipped a few times lol
no biting or attempts at biting yet, just whips
they gave me her lights too and i was so relieved when i noticed they did have a uvb for her. whew.
also she has a small sneeze, or at least sounds like a sneeze
I will be taking her to a vet soon, but anything i should look out for until then?
any tips for me? as she is my first iguana but i've had many lizards before here and even have a chinese water dragon right now
she really is quite a lovely creature, i love her patterns
