this is funny so i thought i would share. someone diddnt put the clamp down on the iguana cage. now my 2 iguanas are on the loose in my room. ive looked everywhere and i cant find them. I have a plant in the closet and i noticed some of the leaves had been cut with something.(iguana claws). ive figured it out. the iguanas are climbing the plant to get to the lights. they will get hungry and i have a fear they are going to start eating my plant. i open my closet door sometimes for ventilation...this is a pretty hilarious prediciment to be in so i thought i would share!!!! if my baby gets eaten there will be 2 dead iguanas..lol (sorry peta)

unfortunatly they are both 1 1/2 yrs old. so they're small enough to still fit in small spaces. my room consists of three rooms so at this point they could be in either one. very stressful. ive searched everywhere and i just cant find the bastards. they will show up eventually or the cats will do the job for me lol!

Too funny. I had an Iguana for 12 years and he loved fresh plants! More than once he got my seedling! He could eat a 12-14 inch plant like it was a snack.lol....I miss him. See ya

my iguana was sooo fucking mean... my own fault but yeah I don't recommend them. you think, "yeah i want an iguana and will spend time with it" but reptiles are so damn easy to ignore

My son had one over 3 1/2' long & the wife & I had to look after him for a while. That fucking thing would charge her hissing with his mouth open while whipping his tail.
He tripped & fell on a shovel & died.
The end.

hell ya they are mean. last time one got out i thought i would be the crocodile hunter. i held Zeus bt his body (his mouth was open) and tried sticking a piece of paper in his mouth. next thing you know the tip of my finger is in his mouth. iguanas have razorblades for teeth b/c this young guy shredded my fingertip... i felt like an idiot afterward.. just to let you know (not that you care) i put greens out everywhere and nothing has been touched. i feel like laughing. ONE GOOD THING.. i could use their cage for a grow space its about 5'x3'x6'....hmmmmm

Tripped and fell on a shovel huh...sounds shady...lol
If I didn't handle mine for a while he would get a little wild too, and that tail whip is no joke when you have a 3 1/2-4 foot lizard! But I had him so long that he was tame most of the time.

Not shady at all, he wasn't paying attention (meaning he wasn't actually attacking at the moment) & I beat the fucker to death with a shovel.
That damn reptile needed to know the pecking order.
