: I was in the local Petsmart in Rocky Mount, NC, and think God they don't
: sell iguanas. They do have Water Dragons, and not the best kept, really terrible.
: Three in the tank, one pretty green, looked decent, one dark brown, ribs showing, on the verge of death, eyes closed, horrible!!
: Other one was brownish green, not too healthy looking. They were on some type of wet wood shavings with shallow water dish that
: was dirty. The UVB bulb is never on when I go in there(I turn it on everytime), the heat bulbs are all thats on, they probably forget!
: The outside says very high humidity to keep, but the humidity gauge in the tank reads 35%, kinda hypocritical, don't you think?
: Makes me sick, these stores shouldn't be allowed to sell these at all!
: Also, saw a book they sell in there....Green Iguanas...Getting started! Read a little, suggested feeding crickets to juvenille iguanas as a staple, also Spinach and Romaine Lettuce!
: Book had terrible info---! An example of things that kill iguanas, misinformed people, going by this book as a guide.
: It would be nice if they would take these books off the shelf!
