New Addition

Hi Everyone I'd like you all to meet mine and Gary's lastest rehome case, He's a young male Iguana who has been called Iggy Pop. Unfortunately we dont know much about him other than he was brought into our vets by the RSPCA as a stray that had been found wondering around in Weymouth and after a week of waiting to see if his owner would come foreward our vet asked if we would like to take him on so here he is

Awwww, he is sweet. What is his temperment? Poor thing people letting him out like that...sigh, when will people learn

We can just hope that maybe he accidently got out.

Wow grats on the addition. Hope all goes well.

Nice looking iguana... also very interested in hearing about his temperament... also how big is he?

WOW he's an impressive creature I love the look of Iguanas
I can't wait to see more pics of him and hear more about him

I like Iguanas, but I wouldn't personally keep one. I get enough of the Oklahoma State Iguana Elvis Iguanidae. Here's Elvis's FB page, lol.

he is about 18inches from nose to tail tip and his temperament is ok needs a bit of work as tail whips and opens mouth but once you've picked him up he seems to be fine and happy to sit on your hand and he seems to like me more than gary and will put more pics on as soon as i take some

awesome i love iguanas

a couple more pics of Iggy-pop

awwww he's actually tiny compared to what size I thought he'd be. Still, I bet he's not easy to handle when he's in a bad mood. He's a very lovely colour though.. I love green animals

he's currently living in a 4ft x 15inch x 16inch viv as he's still small but i've been told they grow fast so guess its a good job we have a spare viv thats bigger than that one he's in at the moment his moods aren't too much trouble as he's small and his tail whips dont hurt but wont start handling him till later in the week as he only arrived friday evening and yes he is a lovely green colour alot brighter than i thought he'd be

awesome. thats good then and I can't wait to see him when he's fully grown

We had the same thing down at my local reptile shop... The RSPCA bought in a Iguana (fully grown one!) in because it was found wondering around someone's garden in Woking!!! Its temperament was lovely and loved going for walks but the owners never came forward :*(

well for the first time yesterday i handled the little guy and the only problem is getting him out once he's out he is lovely and just wants to explore and he even takes himself back to the viv
Today i'll find out if we deffinately get to keep him as the vet said there was 10days for the owner to come forward so fingers crossed as we haven't herd anything then know one has come foreward for him

I hope you get to keep him. I know you guys will give this guy all that he needs times 10:D

well i've not herd from the vets so looks like Iggy-pop is stopping with us permenant the little fatty is eating me out of house an home he has a 1inch deep x 6inch wide food bowl filled with veg once or twice a day

WOW what a HOG! He literally WILL eat you out of house and home... I can't imagine your produce bills... makes ya want to start a lettuce garden doesn't it

Congratson your new peramanent friend

WOOO! you get to keep him!

Good story actually... i work on the produce section at work... so i reduce all the greens i buy to 9p before buying them... i'm not supposed to obviously, but i get away with it.

LOL Jordan!

He looks beautiful! Look absolutely stunning. Poor guy, being left to roam the streets alone. I'm glad he now has a great home with you guys! Enjoy him, he looks like fun!

Congrats on your new addition. I think he is in the BEST home!!

thank you everyone

he currently costs about £6 a week to feed but that will keep going up and up as he gets bigger

Aw man that's like stealing Jordan... why not just wait the extra day tilll they get rid of them cause their wilted?

That's not too bad a price for his food sam... I figured it would be almost twice that much...

It will be £15 this week as gunna get in some fruit for him and freeze it so i can defrost a bit each week for him.

Now thats just naughty Jordan send some down to me

almost makes ya wish you had a good garden goin doesn't it sam
