    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....

Hi everyone, I just got a young male iguana a few days ago (or well, I think its a male =p). I got him from a petshop, inwhich its plain that they really didn't to try to take care of their reptiles. He's still aggresive, but hopefully that will eb away with time. The biggest suprise I got out of him though, was that he ate the first night he was put in his new cage. Hope they don't starve the poor iggy's up there....


Anyway, heres a picture of him.....er....before he decided he didn't like the camera to much

Yay! Bout time you finally posted.....

Thats a really good pic, BTW. Yeah...they didnt take care of their animals to well, even though they had a huge selection of animals to choose from. For example, They had this Cuban Night anole in there, which had a spider in its cage! x.x

But now "Ozzy" has a chance for a better life, thanks to you.

Love ya,
Britt
 
im suprised the anole didnt eat the spider. Cool iggy. good luck hope your ready for when "he" turns into a huge beast like mine did.

Click to expand...

He looked to lazy to even attempt,lol! I still think they should of got it out ...looked like the employees was scared of it though. x.x
 
lol, yeah...they started fooling with its cage...then the lady came out all scared...good times, well anyway...i can't wait until Ozzy is a huge beast...who needs a guard dog when you have a fully grown iggy in the house? XD
 
don't worry...Ozzy gets lots of attention from me...even if he isn't exactly friendly at the moment, hopefully he will warm up to me

and...a four footer with an attitude sounds like an extremely snoody pre-teen...instead of an agitated iggy o_O
 
4 footer, haha, males usually reach lengths of up to 5 1/2 to 6 1/12 feet,

that ig looks pretty healthy for a petstore iguana, i would suggest a fecal though, if you havne not already done that, most of the igs at pet stores come from large facilities in south america, and they are almost always infested in parasites, plus they are(most of the time) extremely stressed out from being packed into a thin box with 50-60 other babys in the same bag, since he/she ate the first night, thats a pretty good sign

they also are not sexable until at least 2 years of age, so dont get your hopes up on a certain sex as of yet, get ready for a long life with the ig, and always remember that they need more attention, and responsibility than most any other herp, i've been keeping iggies for over 12 years, and they are NOT beginner reptile, my oldest pair passed away last february, the male was 13 and the female was 11, they were huge fat igs and i miss em more than any other passed herp i have had, so, treat yours well and good luck with the little fella :)
