Hi All!

It's been a while since I visited this forum, so I had to play catch-up! No wonder the NIAD mailing list has been so quiet! Everyone is posting here instead. Now that I know this, I will have to start checking more often.

Anyhow, I just wanted to share that I am going to visit the local kindergarten classes next Thursday with my igs. I have never done this before, so I am quite nervous about how my igs will behave (or not). Thankfully, my work-study student is coming with me to help out. I can't get real technical, of course, but I plan to let the kids know about the fact that igs are vegetarians, that they need real sunlight and that they get very big (like mine). I am also writing a little sheet with iguana facts (where I live, why I am called "Giant Green Iguana", what I eat, why I have to go out in the sun, etc.) for them. I am putting a picture of an iguana on the other side for them to color, so I am hoping that they'll bring this little sheet home and show it to Mom and Dad. I'm trying to prevent the "Let's get Junior an ig for Christmas" syndrome here.

Wish us luck!
