Bath day for the baby iguanas. Im using this opportunity to caution people against placing more than one in water at a time. (This picture shows shower running which is fine). Although iguanas are excellent swimmers even as babies, the risk is that they are also climbers. One iguana will inevitably climb atop the other(s) and cause them to drown. It is also important to empty the water and disinfect in between each animal and at the end of the session.

Here’s a spotlight on 2 of the Bearded Dragons currently looking for new homes.
Buddy is a healthy 1 yr old possible male Beardie with a great appetite.
The other one we just dont know much about. He appears to be on the younger side maybe 2-4 yrs. He has a bump at the base of his tail that may indicate some history of prior MBD issues. He doesnt have a high enerygy level but eats well. We want him to go to a home that understands his imperfections and will love him regardless. We are willing to negotiate on his adoption fee with the right home.
