Im couriouse to see why everyone here has choosen an iguana as there pet? Where you well educated before getting the iggy or did you find out later how much work is really involved? Do you ever regret getting an iggy? If you could change one thing about having an iggy what would it be???
Okay so its a saturday night im a stay at home mom the kids are playing the hubby's lounging on the couch and Double D would rather munch on another salad plate than play with me, so you guys get stuck with me LOL.
Heres my answers
First Double D is our Second iguana. Our first sadly died after 3 or 4 days of having him/her. We werent very well prepaired for the first one, went with what the pet store said, and one book they sold. Now with Double D I did research, checked it out, wanted to make sure we Really wanted to get another iggy. Why Iguana's?? Hard ? right LOL, well I have a zoo myself most of the pets Jason just lives with (after all he spoils me LOL), we have two dogs, a rabbit, and a guniea pig (did I mention three young kids LOL), so I wanted a "pet" for Jason he has always liked iggy's well decided to finally get something for him (knowing FULL WELL Id be doing most of the routine care, not that he wont but he dosent have time to). Well she ended up being more mine than his LOL, still goes wild when he holds her, me she just climbs up on my head and is content for the day LOL.I think I was well educated but am still learnign more every day. ONe thing I would change, UM maybe our house first (well not really couldnt have left her there LOL), probably the nails I wish they wouldnt grow so darn fast, and those teeth maybe be a little less sharp LOL (ive witnessed there power ONCE and hope to never again LOL). Okay so I was bored Look forward to hearing your stories, also did a photo session with Double D this am will get the pics back tuesday ill let you know how they turn out.
