Brian,



Thanks for the post, I hope than some will listen to it and take it to heart. Turning them lose even in Florida is condemning them to a horid life. Also, if anyone has a home to share with any of these displaced guys, contact you local rescues or humane societies. They are always looking for homes for them and some can be a very rewarding experience



We have three right now, one was a fair prize as a hatchling, one was raised in a school room in a cage about the size she was for 2 years and fed monkey show At least in FLorida we can build them large enclosure and give them a quality of life since they were made captive, but it will not replace their natural habitat.



The other I was just a sucker for a little one that was choking on lettuce stalks and took home.



They are cute in the store, fair or school room, but these guys now are five ft and needs space and a lot of food, people do not seem to think of that when they buy them and if there is no demand on babies, there will not be homeless ones later.



Annie below, the 5 year old iguana that spend two years in a school room and now is our sweet baby, here she is just moved into her 2nd outdoor cage its 8' x 10' x 8' and she has an indoor large neodesha cage for the cool times. ITs kind of bare right now, but we just finished it Sunday, we will be adding a shade area, vines and more matting
