Ok lets play a game....AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok once again my iguana has escaped.....figured lets play the game find the iguana AGAIN...

Last seen: On the window sill in the dinning room...apparently he pooped and fled the scene

Size: About 20 inches head to tail

Disposition: Evil...evil and just a touch more evil

Hiding Capabilities: Expert level

Speed: That of a cheetah

House size: 3300 sq ft.....was down stairs..

Desire to stay hidden: High....like the moon...maybe even pluto

Love for owner: Oh about none and add a dash of contempt!!

ARghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...this is the second time that he has escaped and really went into hiding. Usually it happens about 2-3 times a week but I can always find him in a corner. This time....no iggy. Any hiding suggestions would be welcomed... Also please pray that I do not strangle him when I do find him....(Not that I have ever hurt an animal or ever would but he is totally testing my patience and love for reptiles) Butthead!! :rage:

LOL...how does he keep getting out? :P

Oh no, that's not good :( Sadly I don't have much advice for you Michelle but I did want to say I hope you find him soon and without injury to him or you.

Well I let him sun himself in the window sill....one of his favorite things. I turn my back and sometimes he is just naughty and takes off. I know he is somewhere around here laughing and probably using his middle finger towards me....ugh...that is just his attitude!!:cool:

I would look low, if not there, I'd look high. If he's not there, I'd look behind every piece of furniture, if not there, I'd look behind every appliance. If he's not there, I'd look in the closets. If he's not there, look around any piles of clothes. If not there, I'd look in his cage. If he's not there, he's probably lost.

Best advice I can give ya!;)

lol J.......he has to be somewhere. I have flipped furniture....looked behind the appliances...closets...etc. I know he did not get out of the house. I put up his tree trunk in front of his cage in case he tries to go back in ....put his blankey on the floor and today will put food around the house. Hopefully he will not be able to resist the smell of fresh mustard greens and pumpkin. ??? He truly makes me crazy crazy crazy....probably the most challenging reptile I have ever had. One minute he loves you....the next he hates you and wants to bite you. Remind me again why I took him on....lol:rolleyes:

All kidding aside, I wish you all the best of luck finding your little demon.

Great news....the lil evil iggy has been found. He was in my mothers room sunning himself on the top of her floor lamp. Clearly it goes without syaing that he is grounded for at least a couple of days.

next time you find him punish him first for escaping again and again :D lol

I wonder if you can't find a little ball and chain? ;)

Good luck keeping this one holed up for any amount of time. I think I'd change his name to James Cagney.

You dirty rat!!!
Jim Smith

next time chain him and sease him .

Ya know I do have a leash...clearly he hates it....but I do have one...lol

I think I have come to the conclusion that he just will never be a tamelable lizard...he is cranky...bratty and overall a terd. But I will keep trying with him....

Please be careful with this lizard, tail slaps really hurt when these guys get large. I also remember in an old Reptile mag where a woman had a gentle Iggy, but one day she was kissing on the thing (or something like that) and it took a chunk out of the bridge of her nose.

Good Luck!

Yes I heard of that too. I can def. see where they can be quite dangerous...especially the males when its mating season. Even being small he has done a number on me a few times. The hubby is NOT too happy with him. My hands are constantly scratched up...he has gotten my face a few times and bit me in the nose once....thankfully no scar. They are quite the handful and I really think out of all my reptiles they are truly NOT tameable. But I am only about 3 months into it and I have to keep in my mind he was severly abused.


If all else fails and it gets too much for me....I have an idea for him. There is a great place up north of here called Out of Africa. It is a big cat preserve but they have a huge iguana enclosure and often taken in iguanas that are outta control or have been abused. They are super amazing ppl and I know he would be taken care of very very well. I hope NOT to have to do that but I also don't want to loose any body parts or put my son, mom or husband in danger. So I need to be realistic as to my cababilities.
