New rescue, abused green iguana

So here he is, Walter, my newest rescue. He is a green iguana and was literally dropped on my doorstep today. He came with an 8x3x6 cage. He is about 7-8 years old and is not mean at all. He just has an issue with petting near his head. He flinches and closes his eyes like he is afraid of getting hit. The person who had him before had a 3 year old daughter who would "pat" him on the head. Then he started charging her so they needed him gone. He has nose rub an ill be customizing the cage to suit him better. Anyway, here he is.

I'll post more pics once I start the revamp of the cage.

Big guy!!! He looks great. Glad you rescued him. It's awesome that he came with a cage, too.

Beautiful!! Glad you got him :)

He looks to be in decent health. Ive seen some pretty emaciated ones before...

His health is good. I just couldn't believe they let their kid smack him and kick him. Crazy

Im not really surprised but yes i dont like to hear stuff like that :(

Me too and the lady was all cool about it like it was normal for her kid to beat up the iguana. Makes no sense to me but he's better with me anyway, he's already starting to be ok with me and the wife. Granted we leave him alone haha
