There are some young iguanas in very bad shape at the Petco in Tualatin (SW Portland area) Oregon. I've never had iguanas but have other herps and recognize sick reptiles, expecially the dead ones. Not a pretty sight. The (barely) alive ones are shriveled, dark, laying flat to the ground. The cage is not warm enough and they can't get to the UV lights. There is zero humidity. They've only been there a little more than a week and i've watched them go downhill fast. Today there are some dead ones. I have to do something. The asst manager is going to let me come in evenings and do what I can to nurse them back to health. I COULD USE SOME ADVICE CAUSE I'M NOT EXPERIENCED WITH IGUANAS (i do have water dragons and snakes) What I want to do is buy them all, but it really bothers me to let the store make a profit out of this horror. I know about Melissa Kaplan's website and will definitely be following her advice and writing letters about this. Any other help or advice I would really appreciate, feel free to email me.
Thanks! Laura Z
