"I just want to see the baseball game!"

Still gravid! Check out her belly...

First shed--growing rapidly!

Special Garden In the summer, I grow a special veggie garden of collards, mustards & dandelions for my big iguanas. I let my little Veiled girl out there to climb, and she definitely partakes of the mustards & collards! (Unfortunately, she likes to head for the tomatoes & I caught her trying...

Machine Well, CAMILLE is just an egg-layin' machine! 5 more since yesterday, and I can see outlines of more. I think the syringe-feeding is doing her some good, too, because her eyes are less sunken. SHE has a check-up w/ the vet tomorrow; you're right, he's definitely made some boo-boos...

Yes, she's a veiled. I tried to post pics here, from my computer, we'll see if they worked. :)

Whew! Thanks, AngieL. Now I'm nervous for a whole 'nother reason, but I at least know what's going on! I had a nutritionally-compromised rescue iguana female 10 yrs ago who wound up resorbing her eggs...which is good, because I feared, in her poor health, she'd die passing them. When she got...

Holy sex change, Batman! OK. Color me ignorant. I also took the vet's word that Leon is a Leon. SO, this morning, I'm cleaning the cage & there are a few round yellow things near the bottom. Uh, oh, do we have an infestation? Some sort of bug eggs? I take them & break them open, curious...

Convalescing Hmmm, well, our vet (herp vet for 25 yrs, we've gone to him for 20) recommended mercury vapor bulb. And of course we're removing "shelving" since he's not an ig! :) He loves climbing the bamboo & grape twigs from our yard that we put in his cage. He had his first (MONSTROUS)...

Thanks, Kate. I actually don't--I can hardly work a "regular" cell phone!--so I guess I'll keep trying... I wish we could download from our personal files. :mad: BTW, gave Leon 1cc of his A/D & got him some sun--he's walking about quite well, but still skinny. But if he wants to walk, then I...

Saw the vet! OK, here's the skinny (as it were!): We're going to reconfigure his cage & use a mercury vapor bulb instead of what we'd been using. Also, do away w/ "shelves" as he's not an iguana & basks instead whilst holding branches. (Yeah, I know, but I'm a newbie!) The doc said he...

Thanks for clearing that up. Leon's hanging in there. On the whole, he doesn't seem too bad--ambulatory, climbing, etc. He is hanging out (and cold to the touch) on the bottom of the cage, but I hung out w/ him in the sun today + gave him my half-assed slurry of Reptivite, water, crushed...

Ein mehr time... If these don't work, I give up!

Trying again...
