: Habib is the messy faced one on the left, and Bobbit's the darker one on the right. (Actually, I guess his face is a bit messy too...I'm tellin ya--they both eat like toddlers! If food doesn't go all over the place, they're not satisfied.)

: Notice Habib's missing fingers on her right hand. They fell off soon after she was given to us. The vet said it was probably due to malnutrition, since we were following very POOR feeding advice (ice-berg lettuce and one or two canned mandarin orange slices a week) from the person we got her from, who in turn, got the misadvice from the petstore where Habib was purchased.

: This all happened way back when she was a baby. We had NO idea what we were doing with her. She was sort of pawned off on us and we didn't have a clue at the time. (I was more of a cat/dog person back then.) Luckily, I found this forum (Thank you all!)and did lots of other research on green iguanas.

: Today, as you can see in the picture, she's a "giant fat, burrito smothered in a green sauce"! (That's what we call her when she's just gorged herself and feels like a 2 lb. burrito when we pick her up.)
