Hello.. I apologize for making you cry, It was not my intention.. I just felt I had to tell this iggys story because I really needed help on getting the right advice for him. It is sad that there are people in the world who would do such a thing. You'll be happy to know Adam got a nice warm bath today and got to sit outside in the sun with me for 2 hours (probrally the first time in his life) (which turned out to be pretty strong sun, despite it looking like rain earlier) I let him sit on the roof of my doghouse, I had to help him stay up or he would fall off, but it was a choice basking spot..He still wont eat and looks dizzy but the sunshine definatley brightened his spirits and mine. He is still sticking his tounge out, but he can close his mouth, ive seen him do it before.

(: Thank you for reminding me that there is still good in the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking in this iguana. I myself, ache to hold him and to stroke him and tell him to hold on until he can be treated and made well. I can't stop crying.)
Thank all of you for taking an interest in helping me, help him... He is in good hands now and will never endure such torture again, I am very experienced with keeping reptiles (not iguanas "yet" but im learning and from what Ive read so far their requirements are not that far off from my bearded dragons which i have been keeping for years) On sept 4th I am returning to school to study veterinary medicine (specializing in herpetology ofcourse.) He will be well taken care of from now on.

(: This iguana story is the worst one I have ever heard of--period. What state are you in? I wish I could come help you myself. I want to do something for Adam. I feel such emotion from your story, and it's hard to just sit here and hope for the best.)
It is the worst one I have heard of myself, But it's over for him now.
I am in NY.. Iguanas are illegal here and that is why I dont want to report the previous owners, because they will take him away from me and he will die for sure..
If your ever in Ny feel free to come by and give him love.

(: Keep posting here--we will all help you in any way we can...and I mean that sincerely. Ask any question you like and it will be answered to the best of our ability. We are here for you and will walk you through Adam's rehabilitation.)
I truly appreciate that and i know adam does too..
I will keep all of you updated daily on his progress.
