Iguana needing home

[Jackie]

If anyone wants an Iguana I am forwarding this guys info and contact info. Please contact him. He has been told that he will need to join our forum in the time he is advertising his need for an Iguana in the "Animal Classifieds" and that he will need to talk with interested parties.

Here is his info and story, sound familiar??

Thanks for the quick response. It's fine to place my info for the forum. Who knows? Anything is possible. I appreciate your time. Continued prayers and blessings for the Society's efforts in all you do.

Flozzell,
Unfortunately we have no placement for Iguana's. Many are let loose in the parks and the cold weather kills them and many are abandoned in apartments. There are over 100 on www.petfinders.com (http://www.petfinders.com/)
What I can offer you is to join our forum and place an add in the "Animal Classifieds" and on our adoption page explains other options. You may also get care ideas from our forum. Again I am sorry, but we have Iguana's coming our of our ears. I will send your info out on the forum and someone may contact you, if you allow me to.

Good luck and I know you are in a hard place as we all are!!

Animal Description:


Species: Iguana


Age: Unknown- 1 year with me


Size: From nose to tail apprx 3.5 ft


Health: Appearance wise, general health based on book is good. It was left on


our doorstep of our business last year with a note and internet instructions on


how to care for it. Uncertain if it is a male or female. Based on photo I


think it\'s a male. Diet, I\'ve tried to keep according to text with dark


greens mostly plus green beens, peas, some fruit and the treat of rose petals


when I receive them. We own a health club. When the season gets to be colder


in the evenings I take Precious home with me in a pet carrier. I don\'t have


anything set up at home for it. The room I thought I could try and make the


appropriat changes, is no longer available. My Father-in-law has moved back


with us. There is no other space in our home due to the fact that it barely


fits us with our kids. Precious is getting too large for the tank, it came


with. Our gym facility is also limited on space, yet ideas have been given,


though I\'m uncertain of how to implement them nor have the time. Other factors


of concern: a hectic schedule as owner operator of our business w/family life;


ability to provide proper and affordable health care; potential growth size;


ability to maintain temperature control with a new cage/tank; any possible power


outages and the limited mobility and environmental friendliness for Precious.


If I have to travel, a caretaker becomes an issue too, since my family accepts


it only because I care for it-yet are not comfortable with dealing with


Precious. Though I believe my baby knows it is loved dearly, I\'m struggling


with how to make the quality of life right for it. I need help. Guidance and


aid to address the challenges if a proper loving home is not available.

I will take in your iguana and keep a perm home in mind. She will be handled, fed well, and loved , until such time as the perfect owner comes along. I emailed you also. Let me know. 360-548-8103

That is a really old post. Hopefully he is homed by now. but Angi, YOU ROCK!!
You do not know how happy I am that you came along?? How is Iggy doing? I bet you make alot of head way with the connection of children and animals. What a great way to help them find a peaceful place in the world. Animals are great healers, too bad PETA, PAWS and API dont have any sence. Instead they destroy the world, not help or heal.

Anyway Angi, thanks again!!

I want him to eat more, but I am sure there will be a settling period of a day or two. He sat on me from the time I got home from the meeting til about midnite, then this morning changed his mind and gave me alittle of "the tail", just to let me know he doesn't really like me that much yet and to keep my distance. Don't worry though, he will be fine. Angi

There is always a settling in period. It took him a few eeks to eat with me. I know he will be fine:)
