Well Tak has learned a new trick. Leaping from my hand to get away. I must admit that my reflexes are pretty good, the first thing I did was shut the door of the room we were in so she couldn't get very far.
I got to spend an entire week with her, and she seemed to be getting a bit more used to me...but then we left for the weekend, and when I tried to hold her once we got back she got all nutty...that's when she did a
flying leap off of my hand and sprinted into the most unaccessable corner in the room. She's actually grown a bit too. Most of her shedding is done, except for a part on her tail and her front feet. Are there areas
that make an iguana more irratable when they shed? She didn't seem really irrated until it was her feet shedding.
We're going to have to trim her claws soon too, she actually drew blood with one of her grabs on my hand. She doesn't seem bothered when I'm playing with her toes, so I'm hoping that it will go smoothly. Any tips?
We've trimmed our turtls claws and Nate's trimmed a few iguana claws, but I'm new. Plus she's so tiny...
Oh we were so excited when we went to the grocery store to pick up some greens for Tak and the torts! They had a bunch of huge dandelion leaves! Just like they bunch the endive and stuff. Wow! And they were such big
leaves too!

Happy Saint Patty's day!
