I guess the next question is, what do you do when a shelter calls and you and any potential foster homes are full? Do you tell the shelter you are full and request they euthanize the iguana if they can't place it in a timely manner? Do you take it in and have your vet euthanize? What do you do when you are full?

I've had to say "no" to sliders at a shelter in the past, knowing that they would be euthanized the next day if I didn't take them. But, I can only care for so much at a time, and still retain my spouse! It's tough, and something that anyone wanting to start a rescue will need to consider.

Also, at what point does one euthanize after the vet bill and/or animal's condition deteriorates? Another big question for anyone starting (or continueing) in rescue.
