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.

Timias
Timias is Pugsley's son. Pugsley and his dad run the house. They share the alpha male position between them. I had removed the females to a friend's house during the breeding season, not wanting to incubate eggs.
Unfortunately, Pugsley got to her as soon as they were returned and since she was so young, she was still interested.
Dolly laid only 5 eggs because she was only 3 years old herself, as Pugsley was, and I had to incubate them. Only 2 survived to hatching and I kept one.
Timias is 1 year old and we don't even know if he is a boy or girl yet. I have to wait until he is 3 years old to be sure. He is a fiesty, head-strong iguana, having to live with a bunch of adults.
He loves to explore and shows no fear.
He should grow to be well rounded animal.
