That sounds like a good idea, but I have a question. Is there any way that the iguana could be carrying salmonella? I don't know if they carry it or not, but that's another one of my fears about a free roaming iguana. The pet store I got her at closed and I have no idea where she was before that.

so tums are safe for iguanas? Do you think it'll help her?

: what about letting her roam the bathroom for 1/2 hour or so while you sit + keep her company???
: it still won't be easy to make it ig-safe, but it might be easier than trying to ig-proof any other room ...

: even things like a pile of towels on the floor can be a fun thing to climb on ~ and might be easier on her than regular 'climbing things' since she's got a couple handicaps ...

: i wouldn't let her climb too high since she's prob'ly still fragile + healing ~ but if she can get some *safe* exercise, even just walking around in a bit bigger space than usual, i'd think that would help her heal + regain her strength ...

: btw, crushed TUMS is an *excellent* calicum source ~

: Bon. + iZ
