you still need to quarantine, the rescue may have an illness that hasnt shown itself yet.

Iguana's are such resilient creatures. I find it amazing how some manage to survive the most horrid conditions and live on to tell the tale. I tip my hat to you for the rescue. Definitely do not have the iguana's interact with each other. It's just too risky. The male can react in aggressive ways which will likely onset a pile of problems for you. If possible two separate rooms, Iguana's can smell each other even if they can't see each other and it causes undue stress. All the best in your new acquisition...definitely post some pictures of your green beast when you have a chance!

I tip my hat to you for the rescue. hi thanks for your reply and its no problem and i would do it angain any time as i wont let an iguana suffer like that ppl shouldent have them if they carnt provide for them. she is settling in very nice now and starting to get all her colour comming back she looks happyer and will even walk onto me or climb up me know she has responded well to her meds and i have plans to build her her own viv just like the one i did for my male she has already become part of my family and dearly loved thanks again anyone in uk sees an igg in need should look me up or find a decent home for them dont let them suffer. PLEASE NOTE I POSTED A LINK TO SLIDE SHOW OF SOME MORE PICS OF HER AND MY MALE IG AND SOME OTHER PICS
