Hey guys, I was REALY close to giving my Iguana to a reputable reptile house out here in Chicago today. I called them and everything, but when I went to put him in his carry case, I had a change of heart.

I originaly got him from the backroom of a PetCo, while getting some crickets for my Beardie. It just so happens the previous owner let him get loose and while trying to capture him he stepped on the tail to stop him. MORON! So I guess he wasn't the same "cool" pet anymore, so he returned him. Evidently PetCo's policy on this sort of thing is they can't re-sell returned animals. So I adopted him.

At first it was just to get him out of those conditions and nurse him back to health, but the little guy grew on me. It's been about 2 1/2- 3 months now and at first he just whipped me with his tail and scrathed the hell out of me. But now he's progressed to biting. Twice so far. That I won't put up with.

So i've made up my mind to try again, even more diligently. I'm going out tomorrow to get some nice THICK gloves for handaling, so maybe that'll make some difference. I'm realy trying. But i already have 1.0 Beardie, 0.1 Painted Agama, 0.1 Retic, and 1.1 Royal Pythons, and a new puppy. None of my animals are aggresive in the least. ( yah, even my retic. She has a very gentle demeanor)So, before I write a novel here, wish me and Steve(my Iggy)luck, and hopefully with a whole lot of patience and a little luck, we'll be living peacefully together. Thanks for letting me babble.

Raymond
