In Reply to: Great, incredible, marvellous, gorgeous,wonderful iguana!!!! posted by Flavia Guimaraes on September 01, 2002 at 19:10:33:
Yes, he's gorgeous, isn't he??
(I'm sooo proud)
This is my new (relatively) little (relatively) sweet baby, Kaaz. I adopted him about 6 months ago. He is a real sweetheart, very friendly with me. He's not as big as he looks. I think your Godzilla is in better muscle condition than him. He has a crest along his spine that he raises up an extra 1/2" - 1" high, when he is angry or upset, and he is posturing in the photo because he hates the camera... I wonder how many people can understand his body language? He is 56" long, has all of his toes and tail, and weighs somewhere around 10lbs. That's 3-4 lbs heavier than he was when I got him - he was so starved and thin he felt hollow.
I have to say, life with iguanas is not always wonderful, especialy cince I have TWO males in breeding condition at the moment. 10 days ago, I got one of the worst bites I ever had, from Kaaz. Not his fault, really, he was so angry then that he wasn't thinking. I love him, he is my sweet baby and I would hever give him up... but new owners need to be aware that Igs are still wild animals, and will react without thinking sometimes.
By the way, This is Guy, my other ig. He is nearly 6' long, and weighs 14.5 lbs. He hates me thoroughly right now because he is in breeding mode (see that crazy eye look? watch out!), so I stay away from him and let him go as he pleases... He'll settle down and start tolerating me again soon...
