: : concerning finding a home for Junior, I want to share an email I recieved and my response. Thanks. J

: : Email: "Why are you giving Junior up, can you not have him anymore? How do you adopt an Iguana anyway? By the way, I have an Iguana named Addy that I've had for seven years and I wouldn't give him up for anything."

: : Response: "Thanks for your concern. I work with a group called Triangle Iguana Rescue and that's what we do. I take in unwanted Igs, nurse them back to health, work on taming them and then try to find a good home for them. The people that adopt have to sign an adoption agreement and have a place to house them before they can take possesion. We are based in the Raleigh, NC area.
: : I have a 2 yr old Ig named Baby that I'd never even dream of giving up (he's mine permanantly) and believe me, it's always hard to take in a foster and then find a home. You definitely get attatched. I just can't keep more than two at this time. Reasons?
: : A. We live in military housing so I'm breaking the rules as it is....
: : B. I am self-employed so I'm pretty swamped between that and raising a family.
: : Because I'm the principle caretaker, I want to be sure I don't overload myself so that these guys can get the best care I have to offer. Believe me, I'm smitten with these green guys and I want to do ALL I can to help out!
: : When Junior came to me in November he had mouth-rot, was only eating dry food and whipping and biting. Now he's all cleared up, is on a great diet,has grown at least 4 inches and is very tame. (Even half-way potty trained!) If you want, you can check out my website and see the other foster we had (Whipster). Junior is only my third rescue. The first one was adopted out before I started our website and I didn't get any pics.
: : Anyway, it's at http://www.geocities.com/ncnelsons. So, I hope I haven't rambled too much. Take care and happy herping! J"
