I had to visit as soon as I found out.
The owners are great people!! (Thank God)
They are very receptive to information and let me bring some care sheets to go with the iguanas.
The iguanas were in very poor health when they came in.
He asked me to bring the worst one home and nurse it back to health then bring it back to him. (too cool that he cared enough to do that!)
Sadly, the little guy died within two hours. He was too far gone.
When I went back, the only one left from that shipment was looking bad too. He was very dehydrated, emaciated and his eyes were "glued" shut with shed. So....that one came home with me too. He's doing alot better.
I got him hydrated, got a little food in him, and after a nice long bath and some work with a Q-tip his eyes are open and clear! He still isn't eating on his own, but we're workin on it.
Here's a couple of pics of the little darlin. The shop owner initially sent him home with me in this lil critter keeper, but I've since moved him to a 10 gallon tank. (not the best setup, but it'll work for now.)
He looks kinda funny cause there's water/condensation on him and on the plastic. He has white markings! Georgeous!

He ate a few bites by himself today. I guess I'll have to take him back tomorrow or Thursday. I'm not looking forward to that.
