: How long have you been doing iguana rescue? (Or reptile rescue)
2 years

: When you first started what did you have to get started?
2 cages and lighting
: Did you set a limit when you first started?
Yes, I can only take in one at a time because of military housing
: How many rescues do you have NOW?
one
: How many other reptile species did you get in besides iguanas, even though your plan was iguanas ONLY?
None
: What advice would you give to anyone wanting to start a rescue?
Make sure you have the time, patience and money, but most important....love of the animals you rescue.
: What is the WORST thing you have seen (personally) in your rescue?
I have one now that has mild MBD and a hole in his snout from some kind of neglect. He was found in a dog crate with two others caked with feces and dried shed. His spikes are all ruined due to improper shedding.

: WHy did you get into rescue?
Because when we got our Iguana I realized how much help is needed to educate people on raising healthy Igs. Plus I absolutely LOVE my Baby.
: What would you change from when you started to what you know now?
Nothing
: Thanks for all who answer i think it will be very intresting to hear the "reality" of rescuers.
