THE CAMBRIAN June 21-27, 2001

Homeless Iguanas Seeking Shelter
--Kathe Tanner

Cambria's leading iguana lover, Meriday Beth Komor,
will be among the participants at Morro Bay's Summer
Solstice/Fun in the Sun on Saturday.

The event -- from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. near the Natural
History Museum in Morro Bay State Park -- will feature
exhibits and information from Komor's Cambria/Internet
Herpetological Society, along with the San Luis Obispo
Turtle and Tortoise Club, Friends of the Elephant Seal
and a host of other participants.

Komor says she desperately needs permanent homes for
several iguanas, which she is fostering on a temporary
basis. A couple of the colorful lizards had been abandoned
in what is for them Cambria's hostile outdoor atmosphere;
others were sent to Komor by animal-services agents.

The thought that people would abandon iguanas, or any pet,
enrages Komor. "They're just people with fur or scales. There
is no such thing as a throw-away animal," she said.

For details on the iguanas, call Komor afternoons or evenings
at 805-927-3323, or log onto www.anapsid.org, a website by the author
of "Iguanas for DUmmies."
