In Reply to: Friends Ig died...... posted by IG27 on February 25, 2000 at 08:26:30:
30-10 years ago, inforamtion on repties carewas mostly by word-of-mouth, and a few, unprecise writings.
today, we hae excellent books, good ones at even $5-$10, taling about the general care about these animals.
Internet is in almost every household/public library, and yet, people still buy igs
at pet stores, listening word for word what the fat bastard
tells them on caring for the animal.
C'mon! no offense to friends or others who did the same mistake,
but wake up people! there is soooomuch good info on care for iguanas,
that almsot anyone can become a pretty good keeper
within weeks of purchase. Form the bibblical Ultimate Ig. Owner Manual, to the
legendary Melissa Kaplan web-site, you can't go wrong, and make the mistakes of throwing in an
ig n a 10 gal, lettuce and 1 hot rock!
I am thankful to Kaplan for enlightning me on caring for these animals.
I almost became one of these people. a friend told me that al they needed was lettuce, lamp, and a cage.
i said "wow, nw that's easy! THEN, i looged on the website, and BANG! it hit me!
later i read books, and AFTER all that bought the iguana i so much dreamed of.
what is even sadder, is that these pet-store yutz even sell care manuals, yet still give you the wrong info, and the
wrong impression on the animal to make easy money!
there is no excuse for being a poor keeper of repties today.
let's just hope that soon the masses will be educated (and bright) enough to
first learn how to crawl, before learning how to walk!
Pheeeww! that was some chit-chat uh?
and now if you all excuse me, i think my ig is sh*tting on the floor!
CI@O!
: Well, the Ig I tried to rescue, friend told me he died and I had given
: him a care pamphlet just a few days back. I tried to get him 3 weeks ago
: and probably could have saved him. Friend said he had left the UV light on
: for 6 months straight! Said guy at pet-store told him to do this! Also, the IG
: was staying in 10G, he didn't have a chance. I guess he never slept, eat Romaine
: Lettuce and probably finally baked! Just terrible, some people are so selfish when
: giving an ig up, guess, since they spent money on them, they think the Ig will somehow
: live, no matter the conditions. Anyway, he's probably in a better place (IG HEaven)!
: Ziggi's doing great and getting fat! Take CAre.....!
