also could be titled why I hate people...
I was in Petsmart today getting the weekly supplies of crickets and other misc goodies, and while I was in line to check out some lady was raising heck trying to return an Iguana in a coffee can that she was sure she had bought there, after it had bit her 10 year old son. No rescript, not to mention the store hadn't sold an iguana recently.
About the time she was threatining to let the poor guy loose in the store, I said the heck with it, and offered her $25 for him sight unseen.
Well, other than perhaps a little dehydrated, he's a perky little fellow. He's set up in the only tank I had handy and clean with whatever I could scrounge up. It's a little big for him, but I'm sure he will be growing in to it soon enough. I'll get more green and places to hide soon enough, but I think he's had enough stress for one day. The plants in there are live, for a nice place to hide and humidity. I forget what they are, but they are one of the 'good' greens.. I grow them in containers for Spike to tear up.
He's got chopped turnip and mustard greens, as well as some finely sliced peppers, blueberries, and rasberrys, currently only 1 UVB bulb thats older, but I'll pick up a couple before work tommorow, and I still need to build a lid section that can handle a basking light, but as this house won't see under 80 until fall, that can wait a couple days.
And of course... pics.
Any guess on age... other than really young.
