So my friend texts me at work, telling me to call another friend immediatly, she has found an iguana. Her and her husband found it on the road. It was healthy looking and friendly. They picked it up, put it in the backseat of the car and planned to drive right to MY HOUSE to drop it off. EVERYONE in this town knows if you got some weird animal that needs a home, just bring it to me.
On the way here....it crawled to the front of the RENTAL car and crawled INTO the dashboard.
So after taking apart the dashboard and still not getting it out, they left fruit in the car and left it alone...Come out and find this....
They surround her and dive into the car at the same time as she dashes for the dashboard again. Teresa caught her JUST in time.
I got a bigger cage set up for her and gave her a warm water bath. She swam around and then started to fall asleep. I took her out to dry her on the floor and she took off like a shot....I had the bathroom door CLOSED...forgetting the cat door was unblocked and she went RIGHT through it. SMART lizard. Then she proceeded to run through the living room and scare the every living hell out of my cousins Good lizard!
I caught her much to her frustration. Gave her a veggie and fruit salad mix and a big bowl of water. She is ignoring both and is currently inspecting the cage for weaknesses. She'll stop trying to escape once she realizes the bars don't give way. Her color is coming back. She is a nice green with some speckled brown. She may turn totally green. Some parts of her are neon in color. She is a true monkey too.
Pictures!
