: The ig was at lesat two and a half years old ( we had only seen it once before in '98 when it cut its leg open). Poor thing was only about 24" TL, a mottled gray color, had abscesses on both sides of its lower jaw, no name, no gender (I would guess female)...I picked her up to check her femoral pores, and she was covered with what looked like third degree burns all over her belly. Poor thing had no normal looking skin under there. Some people should be shot...

: Katherine (wishing it were a little harder than paying $10 at a pet store to buy an iguana)

: Goliath (no joke..try living in a 20 gal aquarium when you're 27" long!!)
