When Cal got his truck, the guy who sold it to him said, right before he sold it, "It comes with a free iguana too." So Cal and I were stuck with this iguana. The night we got him, he was scared-looking, hiding inside a cardboard box, and curiously, I got gloves on and lifted him out, and set him on the back of the couch while he tried to croc-roll over in my hands. A few hours before we got the truck and the lizard, I told cal that we didn't have room in the apartment for another pet, but now we do..lol
That and I just couldn't bear thinking about sending another iguana to the Humane Society, they get tons, because people don't realize that they're not a regular lizard, so they get rid of them
It was cool to watch his behavior change from being skittish, to being welcoming XD
We've only had him for about a month, but he's gotten a lot more used to us now, and he won't bite if you put your hand in the tank, but he'll whip you a few times before you start to feed him, which is the kinda sucky part, he's always been hand-fed, so we can't go on vacation or anything like that His color is amazing, a bright, vivid green, from being a veggie lizard XD I just felt like writing an entry about him, so many iguanas are mistreated and misfed, but I'm glad that Cal and I are doing awesome with the little surprize :)
