great photos. these guys are all at your house? how fun. how is the temperment of the SM? and by the way, "large" is an understatement for the iguana. he looks gigantic.

Told you earlier, he is very COOL !

The iggy is awfully handsome, I find these big lizards incredibly awesome.

Although I feel so badly for them also. I have seen so many up for adoption, with MBD, broken ribs from being kicked, burned, abused in so many ways.

I personally would not have one unless I could allow it to roam its own room, it being the only lizard, as I think they should have Alot of attention.

Yours sure is a picture of health Fabian As is the monitor,
nice looking animals, great pics !

Enjoyed them

Hi Eve,

Thanks for the comments. You've inspired me and now I can't stop taking pictures!!

Yes, the Sheltopusik is surely an awesome lizard. It's great because he can stay outside for so much longer than the collareds without showing any signs of decreased appetite. I have never induced brumation for the little limbless creature, but it would be interesting to see how well he does under those conditions.

Fabián
