HI Folks,
Meet our newest member.
She is a spayed female, 5.5 feet and she loves long walks on the beach.



Thanks
Rusty

holy poop Rusty! You get a new pet every other day, and they just get cuter! I gotta see your mini facility some time ;P

I'd have an iguana if I thought I could support it

Hi John,
It has definately been a busy week for us. Just try and keep in mind that these are not pets (so to speak), I would love it if I didn't need to rescue. But it has been busy this week.
We are a one iguana household. So as of now we have this new female and a little neo nate male. so we will be searching for a home for the little male.
This girl will be able to do shows with us, people always seem so amazed when they actually realise how large they get!
She has been cruising around checking the place out. She seems to be having so much fun.
She has some nose injuries, and has been spayed, but luckily she has had a clean fecal, and bloodwork comes in on Tuesday.
Thanks
Rusty

She's def a beaut. She looks good, so why'd she come to you? Unwanted?

Any bone issues from lack of uvb, anything but the nose? She looks real good considering it was a rescue.

[CTReptileRescue]

she was taken care of very well, full uv and great setup, at least for a smaller iguana.
She came to us due to the gentleman becoming engaged. (girlfreind didn't like). We get alott of those.
He was a nice guy, she has been spayed due to being eggbound 2 years ago. She was only in this gentlemans care, so at least she wasn't passed around.
So far so good

How big is her cage now?

[CTReptileRescue]

our house..lol
She has been free roaming in our iso room, after being checked for mites, ticks etc.
Winslow is in the workshop now building her a "sleeping cage". This will be a very large enclosure that will be safe for her to be in over night while we are all sleeping. During the day when we are home (which is basically always) she will be out and about.
Our house is already ferret proofed, so now we are just securing a few things in place so she can not hurt herself.
Thanks
Rusty
