: I wanted to let everyone that the little girl I rescued from the pets store is doing VERY good, she looks like a completely different lizard. She went from being very lethargic to being a normal careful iguana. She is eating very well and is not picky. Her skin is also looking much better, as she is living outside in a large cage. She is very happy.
: Also the 2nd update, several weeks ago, someone brought a lizard they found into our hospital and I took him home, he was in bad shape. Well he is doing better, but his front of his mouth ( where his nostrils are) has sloughed off and he breathes out of his mouth , also many of his toenails have fallen off, I think this may be to all of the toxins in his body , but nothing in my books really talk about this. Has any one every heard of this sloughing problem. His skin is beginning to look better and he eats with gusto and acts fine, just no more nostrils and only 1 oe 2 toenails left. But Frank is happy
: My last iguana is Louie, and he was bought at a nice pet store and he was only about 8 inches long, but in 5 months he is about 2 foot long, and bright green and very tame and nice. He has had the best of life, and has never known the hardships of his fellow friends
