Thanks for posting! I've been thinking about taking Gil to that clinic in Lodi, and that really confirmed it for me!

Hi Folks-

Des thanks for the links, great info!

Steph- If you take Gil to that vet, please give him a big hug and say "Thanks" for me. That story was just so inspiring. He sounds like a great Vet!

Just so everyone is aware, We live near the rescued Ig in North Brunswick, NJ. Tammy immediately called and offered to take in the two rescued Iguanas. One had died while trying to be saved, and the other was adopted out to a good home.

Such a crying shame. Raising Igs on the road in a truck and then abandoning them . So very sad for the Igs.

We ended up leaving our name and phone number with the Veterinary Hospital in case this kind of situation ever arises again.
