Sounds like he has been pretty badly stunted...never been to a vet, huh? YIKES!

I am here in Florida and will help network or whatever if I can, but I don't know anyone out in KY, and I doubt that animal should be shipped out this far in his condition. Of course, if there is no other hope (and i mean LAST RESORT), I will try to make arrangements to bring him here. I have been thinking about building on some more accomodations here at the house since I get so many calls about rescue animals I cannot keep comfortably in the space we now have. (we are probably also building an aviary pretty soon **I AM SO EXCITED**)

Keep us posted...and let me know if I can be of assistance. Sounds like htis little guy is lucky he found you!

: I've been offline for a few days, looks like I've got some reading to do.... At any rate, I need to post that there is an iguana that needs a home in Lexington, Ky. He is 7 years old, about 3 feet long. He also comes with a custom enclosure, 6 x4x4. (6 tall) His diet needs improvement, and I'm sure uvb exposure has been a problem. He has never been to the vet. He will probably be a special needs case, and will require immediate vet attention, and good husbandry. I have not yet visited the ig personally, but will try to get a look when I'm back in town later this week. If anyone can help or has questions, respond here, or e-mail me.

: Thanks,
