I saw the adult Ig in the petstore again yesterday and started thinking about keeping adult igs and trying to foster them out to good homes. I talked it over with my husband and surprizingly he was very positive about it and is going to have a big cage made this weekend~ Good thing he is very handy. I would like to take the Big iguana home this weekend. I was wondering just how hard it is to rehome these guys? any advice would be great for those already involved in fostering. My husband is wondering how i am going to not get attached to these guys and wind up with lots of iguana's!:)~ If i can find good homes though i think it will be worth it. This adult ig that i am going to bring home was being borded by a semi local petshop and the owner abandoned him. I have spoke to the people at the petshop and he just wants it to go to a good home. He thought he had someone that wanted it but they flaked out~and everytime i go into this petstore i see the big guy in this large aqurium as they do not have anything else to keep him in. He always looks so sad at me~ Yesterday i put my hand up to his cage and he actually put his hand up to the glass and dug at it~ as if to say please rescue me~ That did it and now i have decided to take him on. I know that once i start this i will probably never stop rescuing these guys~ So any advice would be greatly appreciated!~
