I posted on 2 of the pictures....i tried my best to be diplomatic. Sometimes, people are just ignorant and unaware. Of corse, that is the worst kind of reptile keeper....it seems as though this guy is living in the dark ages of keeping iguanas. Unfortunately, these poor miserable creatures are forced to live in an apparently bad environment and there is no one to help them. I have done what i can and tried to educate without showing any bias, or making any white trash comments...we shall see what comments are to follow. Until then, i shall bite my tongue...

Well the way I see the picture, there is a fork there so it was obviously someones plate...the ig prolly just decided to help itself...they are not necessarily feeding the ig that stuff....Lyn

That's what it looks like to me too. Like the people had finished their food and left it there, and the iggy just went for it. I have a picture of my cuban iggy that is so funny, but didn't post it because I thought people would think I was feeding him like that. It's a picture of him with a whole sandwich in his mouth sitting on the plate and he looks sooo happy. He just jumped right on the plate then he sat there like he posed for the picture. He didn't want me to take the sandwich so I gave him the bread. Sometimes they just get into stuff they are not supposed to.

Brandy,
I saw the same picture and I told my husband. We both were so PO at that person feeding their ig that and then thinks it is cute and funny. I was to mad to do anything. Comments from me on that picture would not be nice.
