An Iguana's Life

I am Lady Iguana. I run Iguana-Mania, a local reptile shelter for abused, unwanted reptile pets. People always ask me about iguanas, when I am in the streets, raising funds to help feed reptiles that I have rescued over the last 15 years. So I decided to take you on a tour of my two favorite iguanas lives. They are Pugsley and Zilla, and Pugsley's little son, Timias. You will come to see just how "human" iguanas can be.

FALL UPDATE 2006

We Have a New Iguana!
How're you iguana lovers doing out there? We're doing just fine here at IguanaMania.
Pugsley
Pugsley is as bossy as ever, still the king of the house. He eats first when I put the food down...comes and bullys me out of my food when I try to eat a sandwich...decided he likes peanut butter. He has developed a great personality and is a glutton for stroking. He'll raise his head, close his eyes and bask in the good feelings of having attention lavished on him.
Zilla
Zilla is as scared as ever. He still will not tolerate the strokes and pets and hates being picked up by a human. But he does come out and bask...and he will explore the house...just don't touch me, he says. His arm has finally healed from the dogbite and it is very weak. The hand is useless to him and he really can't climb. But he has learned to use his armpit to help him climb up a little and he has a hiding hole behind a dresser...complete with a soft blanket...to sleep in safely.

Timias

Timias is growing and doing very well! He is starting to loose his baby fears and is beginning to allow the handling and the stroking I give all my iguanas. He eats well and is fine!

Fawlkes

Fawlkes is the iguana I rescued that is paralysed from the waist down. He still can't go potty without my help...poor thing...but he is growing and he is developing a personallity. Ain't no stopping me now...seems to be his motto! He does stay in a huge snake container...you reptile lovers know the type, gray smooth walls with glass door fronts...with a few stuffed animals for company, along with Timias and the new iguana baby. They keep each other company, eat together and it stimulates Fawlkes to act more like an iguana and he will pull himself around the cage and climb the toys to bask in their heating corner. He bobs at the others some times and seems to be the king of the cage!

You can see the crook in his back now, from MBD, the cause of all his problems. He is one lucky iguana! The crook prevents him from using his back legs, but he can feel me touching them and his tail...he just can't use them...when he gets bigger, I plan to build a cart and train him to use it so he can get around better. He has alot of spunk and will grow up to be a sweet animal I am sure!!

Speedy

Speedy is our new iguana baby...only a month old, a neighbor from across the street had bought him for his son and his son didn't know how to take care of him properly. They brought him over and asked me to take him in...how could I say no? Where would he go?

Speedy still has that spooky attitude that baby iguanas have...everyone wants to eat me so I have to run as fast as I can...and he can move, let me tell you! Those tiny legs can move! It is so cute to see him spook with no where to go, when I put food into the container the babies live in...Oh yes, all three of them live in the snake container...When they get big enough, they can start to roam the house like Pugsley and Zilla...but for now, they are too small to do so. They don't seem unhappy to me...they have a pool of water to swim in, good healthy food to eat, and plenty of soft stuffed animals to lie on...They are loved and protected...What else could an iguana want?

What's in a Name?
We have a winner!!! Our new iguana now has a name. We are calling him Fawlks, which is the name of the phonix in the Harry Potter movies. As a phonix rises from the ashes anew, this little iguana is arising to a new life within my shelter. He is doing very well and loves to eat. He has his own huge cage, plenty of stuffed animals to cuddle and is adapting well!!!
