Well my hubby and I have been discussing adopting out Venus . We really want to keep her but she has become a total monster now that she is getting healthier. We are going to give it serious thought and see if maybe she is just going through a phase. She has become extremely territorial of her cage, and will try to attack whoever is standing in front of her cage through the closed doors. I would hate to keep her and have to keep her locked up 95% of the time. Yet I would hate moving her again, to another strange home.

Awwwe hun...I'm so sorry I came so late to see the thread...still being a little flaky on my end here sweetie. Things ain't as easy as I was hoping for.
That's a hazard of rescuing. You bring them in, they're sick, they lack a zest for living, they're needy...and we give them all that it takes to get them better. In the process we become attached. Sometimes too attached. Been there, done that...more times than I can count. Moving to another strange home...just a minor set-back. She's adjusted well in your home...she'll adjust well in another even better. She's going in a healthy girl and the adjustment period should be easier for her to go through.
((HUGS))
Do what you eel is best, and it sounds to me...a new home may be that.

Thanks, (both of you)that makes me feel a little better. We have decided its probably for the best that we find her a home without children or other animals. Its going to be scary trying to find the right home, especially for an Ig, and especially in my area. I see so many ads on craigslist, for unwanted Iggys. I'll keep everyone updated.

BTW Jennifer...I gotta like your piece of the serenity prayer. Try to say the whole thing twice a day...:-D
CL is horrible for unwanted animals. I try to steer clear most of the time these days...although it is where I go the plated lizard from. Find yourself an online adoption application for iguanas and edit it to your own info and needs. I've done many of the applications I have that way. You'll find the right one.

You sent me a copy of an adoption app a while back, and I still have it.

So far only one person has contacted me, but it was a no go. Person wanted me to ship to Nebraska . I politely told them that shipping was not an option. I couldnt even imagine trying to ship this big girl, in any type of weather.
