: I am the proud new owner of a cute and helthy iguana! : ) He or she is 3 1/2 in stv, and 11 inches in all. We decided Minga was his/her name, because My 2 year old says Minga instead of Iguana. We brought Minga home 4 days ago, and I have handled him/her everyday. Each time I've given Minga a bit of fruit, strawberry, banana or grape to nibble from my fingers. I must say, that in just 4 days, Minga doesn't flip out when I stick my hand in the cage. I just wish I knew if it were male or female! I can see the femoral pores... does that mean it's male? Or is it really to early to tell yet? Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself, and share my wonderful news. Sara&Minga
Hey Sara
I have a 2 year old too, and he is not allowed to touch Spike or anything that comes in contact with him - just to be safe - and I use alco-gel, it's supposed to kill like 99% of germs, before I close the cage door then go wash my hands with an anti-bacterial soap. Boy don't I sound paranoid? But, I don't ever want to deal with my son getting salmonella.
Good luck, aren't baby igs soooo cute?
