Merry Christmas! From our Zoo to Yours!

"What is this new thing?"

"It must be a fabulous new climbing toy just for me!"

"Wow! It sure goes up high! What's that thing at the top? "

"Why does she get the best spot on the new toy? She's been up
there ALL day! That's not fair! I want a turn!"

"Now *I've* got the best spot in the house!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!" 

Ah, the joys of owning an iguana

Plant? What plant? 

"I make a better angel than that thing!"

This is one happy iguana

"A climbing toy just for me!" 

LOVE these two pictures!

Nope, no one here except us chicks!

She's so cool looking!

Cannoli, our Diva Iguana

She's cute! And large! And still gets lost in the house sometimes. Like the yesterday when I found her on the stairs, posing with a pumpkin. 

It's always a good day with Cannoli when she doesn't make me bleed. :) 

Welcome to the Zoo!

We have a new addition to our growing reptile zoo-- a 1 year old iguana, Cannoli. She is not a rescue. I traded the uromastyx I took in to my nephew for her. The uro quickly grew to fear me as I cleaned him up, clipped his claws, removed old shed, and got him all fixed up. He adores my nephew.

Cannoli and I are still sizing each other up. She knows I mean business. She's not super tolerant of my younger kids. She likes to explore-- especially upstairs. For now, she's staying with us. We'll see how well she fits into the zoo over time.

Mini-blinds make great ladders!

Camouflage! 

Having a free range moment

She is fascinated by the Legos

Just as I clicked the button, she tried to lick the camera

Finally some sun to bask in
