Cindy,

I don't think one has to take iguanas from shelters to have a relationship with a shelter. I can think of at least two rescues that refuse iguanas now. Plus, you have to say "no" eventually when you are too full.

I don't take anything but turtles and tortoises from my local shelter, and they understand that. Sometimes I've had to decline sliders when I was too full, or even snapping turtles that were beyond my capabilities in space and experience. A good shelter will understand that a good rescue can't take every animal that comes their way.

Katrina
