I was away for 4 nights and 5 days. I had no idea what to expect from Willie when I came back. Willie and my husband have a wonderful rapport and understand each other well. I think Willie may trust him more than he does me. I didn't know what to expect when Will and I were together again. I stepped into his enclosure and there was the usual scramble. He let me take his body temp (93.9), did some posturing while I ooo'd and ahhh'd, but the scramble began when I tried to pat him. He ran to his sleeping ledge, i began to sing to him..'You are my Willem, My Only Willem....' and then he let me pat him for as long as I wanted. If he could purrrr, I think he would have.
From what Sean had posted before, I knew igs had long memories if they felt angry or thought trust had been damaged. I didn't know if Willie would remember something loving or if he would feel abandoned.
The truth, in his way...he seemed really glad to have me home again. And I was thrilled.

How nice. That is sweet.
I go to check on/visit my Dad at least 1 week a year. My iguanas don't seem to miss me at all. It is like I wasn't even gone. Dragon doesn't even seem to get phased. She's the one that lets me pet, hug and bug her and seems to want it.

That's nice to hear Nancy. It may take a while but he should come around.
