Benny had a severe case of MBD and only has two claws on his front feet. Not to mention two permanently broken fingers as well!

I specially designed his huge enclosure with ramps instead of tree branches so can still get around and he does very well considering. The good news about Benny is that he acts like he has perfectly shaped feet and claws anyways! Also from time to time when I notice that he is eyeing my large ficus tree I place him in it and the result is a huge iguana grin (priceless, got a pic but need to transfer it to digital). Anyways good to hear that Floyd has come into a good home.

James & Benny

: I picked Floyd up last night and got him home safely and into his new Huge cage!! He was being pretty mellow~ (compared to Miya anyway)His eyes got really big when he saw the cats and puffed up and extended his dewflap~ the cats just ignored him as they are used to Miya now. I was considering fostering him and finding him a new home.....But....he is soo sweet and I really can't see me finding someone good enough to take care of him~ I am a sucker for these guys!LOL~ Besides whats one more salad~? So far he shows no signs of aggression and loves to be stroked!~He spent several months in an aqurium and not sure what kind of enclosure he had before that? But i do know his toes are very mangled and some of his claws are missing. The cage i constructed is filled with big branches for him to climb up and lay on.(Miya's cage is similar and He loves it) I am worried about Floyds feet though~ I am hoping they will get better because he can use them now~ I don't want him to have a hard time with climbing~ He seemd to like his cage and managed to get to the highest branch and hang out there. I can hardly wait to get home to see how he is doing!! DO any of you let your adult igs meet each other when they are out of there cages? Miya saw Floyd when he was in his cage and went into head bobbing mania!:P~ While floyd just looked at him with curiosity and not much else. Should i just never have them both out at once? thanks~ Tif
