Hi everyone. I'm an unofficial rescuer of iguanas, and I have a problem which maybe someone can help with...For the last year I have had 5 igs free-roaming in my house - just to clarify, my daughter and I live in a 1 bd duplex. It's really crowded, but now that it's summertime and considering that 4 of them are male, I really need to place at least one of them. You see, one of the males chased down the most submissive of the bunch and bit his tail really bad; within 2 days the tail came completely off. The one who got bit, Godzilla, is going to be fine, but it caused me to stop dragging my heels about looking for someone to adopt my baby Ziggy. I have had him for nearly 5 yrs. since he was a baby. He's very good, and tame, and I know that he will be even more wonderful without having to share the attention with 4 other igs. I had considered looking for a home for Godzilla, but now that he lost his tail, I think nobody would want him, as well as me wanting to make sure he recovers as completely as possible. The only reason I haven't looked for a home sooner is that I am so attached to them, and last year I placed 2 igs, and I mis-judged the person I was placing them with, and I know they are not getting the care they deserve. I'm still kicking myself, although I didn't have much choice, having had 7 igs at that time. Anyway, I live in Los Angeles County, and if anyone is interested please e-mail me direct at tonivitali@yahoo.com or answer to the group. I am willing to transport if necessary. If anyone has any other solutions, please let me know. Thanks. Toni
