Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am down in Florida visiting my girlfriend which has just given birth to our 9lbs 5ou son J.R. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Babies are... hard work. =-) It seems everytime I go on a trip that lasts more than 1 day I lose a reptile. I'm not sure what it is, I guess i'm not suppose to come visit, dunno. Anyways, My brother had called me theother day and told me that my ig, "Mr.Sexy" past away. He was a rescue from a friend of mine that didn't take any care of him at all. I was trying to nurse him back to health then my girlfriend went into labor and I had to drop everything and try to teach my brother how to take care of him and it just didn't work out. I feel real bad but I didn't expect him to make it anyways, he could barely keep his eyes open and he was complete bones. Just wanted to shoot the info you guy's way. Oh, btw, I didn't name him. A friend did, quite... immature I guess? I didn't like it, but respected her wishes. GL everyone, night.

no....the lizard didn't know anyone tried their best. about all it probably knew was that it felt pretty awful. but stuff happens sometimes and we don't care for our animals properly as we should for whatever reason, it is too bad you lost him but congrats on the kid

In case you didnt read the post he adopted this creature and was trying to save its life at the same time his lady was bringing a new life into this world. The iguana was probably in alot of pain. But he was loved and I am sure he felt that and was thankful that someone was trying to help him.

TOR I respect you for taking this almost hopeless lizard in and trying to give it a better life.

Congrats on the new baby

You need to read better. He was trying to save its life and DID NOT neglect it. So who knows it may have felt some love and caring from him.

Thank you for correcting, I didn't want to start a heated debate as i felt offended by that. I tried my best to make his life as good as possible, but I at least tried. Thank you.
