In Reply to: CROCODILIANS ARE AN IGUANAS' BEST FRIENDS?.............maybe posted by IGUANA JOE on March 31, 2003 at 22:37:06:
:Shift to our iguanas. One ripped toe, rubbed-to-the-bone nose, hot burn or bloody injury, and we run to the vet weeping in fear that "Iggy-Sue" will get an infection and possibly become sick or end up underground.
:We care for them like children, because these tail-whippin fellas with an attitude are not as tough and hardy as the large crocs. Because if left untreated, certain wounds can definately become life-threatning.
:The crocodilians, on the other hand, as long as they're fed properly, kept warm with proper light (usually natural light) and clean they can out-live their keepers.
I would say the same holds true for iguanas, if properly care for and fed well, they will heal themselves too. It's the keeper that thinks they're going to die. The iguanas instinct and will to survive is just as strong as a croc's.
I have seen the same injuries in the wild on iguanas. I understand the premise of your post, I just think you should give iguanas and their evolution more credit and don't really think they need anything from a croc
