Howdy from the beach :D

[VegasIguana]

Hi! I'm Desiree Dom told me about this site.

I have Vega$ (iguana) and two bearded dragons (Yucca & Daytona). We live in Southern California beach cities area. I am a software engineer, working in the aerospace industry.

Vega$ turns 8 next month I have had her since she was a wee iglet. The dragons are going to be 4 (Daytona) and 5 (Yucca) years old in the summer. I've had them since they were small too! My big girl gravitates though to my fiance He didn't initially take to her, but over time, that changed. He completely spoils her (and the dragons). I think he just makes a better heating pad, than me ;D

I used to be really active on the net years ago, and only have recently re-surfaced, as far as participating in forums. My main activities have been maintaining herpvetconnection.com and baskingspot.com (i help my pal Jen with doing the herp news there), when spare time occurs! I end up spending a lot of time catching up tho

Shameless plug here: if you have a great herp vet, please do visit HVC and provide your recommendation(s). Other folks' herps will appreciate it

Hi Desiree! Welcome the IZ!
( I also have two "other" lizards..a Mali Uromastxy and a Dwarf Spiny Tailed Iguana.)
I'm glad to see herpvetconnection.com linked here. They are SO hard to find!
If you haven't already, post a pic of Vega$ in the Photo Gallery.
Good to see you!

Hi Desiree-

Welcome to Iguana Zone.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post. I truly appreciate it.

Vega$ is such a beachy Iguana! ;D And the dragons are just beautiful.

Please feel free to post at your leisure and add any insights you can. We welcome all info and advise you can provide.

Welcome Desiree! I'm also from California, up north in the Central Valley.

I just learned of herpvetconnection.com today. I haven't been very impressed with either of the local vets I've taken Gil (almost 2, 42 STL, 3 lbs) to. I'll take this as my confirmation that I need to click over there and see what I can find!

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hello Des. I remember you from the Kingsnake Ig forum(before it turned into a place for the kids to bicker)

Its SO nice to have forums away from that atmosphere.

[VegasIguana]

wow, i can't remember the last time i regularly posted there. friend of mine pointed something out re: Flavia there, so I went over there and posted, since she's considering Los Angeles a place to relocate to.

Dom dragged me out of my lurk mode pretty darn good, considering my lurkiness

yup, it's all Dom's fault.

Oh, mebbe we should talk I might be driving up North in June. Dont know for certain yet; very dependent on work schedule.

I hope HVC will help you out. It should be considered as a guide to help make an informed choice re: a vet. I'm hoping, whenever I have free time, to redesign the site to allow for quicker maintenance.

I'd love it if we met! I'm moving in June... the new house will be done then! YEAH! But I'll definitely make time NO MATTER WHAT!

BTW Dom's coming the first weekend in June. If you're here then, we can all get together.
