Bad news. It was yellow fungus (YF). They are being treated for YF still with no improvement. YF is always fatal and it's only a matter of time before they are put down. :(
And the two incredible red iguanas they had was still there.
I really shouldn't go into pet stores.
And I shouldn't look at the beautiful iguanas.
And I shouldn't tell the manager that I adore the beautiful red ones are.
And I shouldn't ask to hold one.
And I shouldn't listen to the managers tell me the Iggy is the calmest one they have.
And I shouldn't listen when they tell me the Iggy is 50% off.
And I shouldn't stand there as the baby Iggy gives me kisses and is super calm.
Because.....
He will end up coming home with me. And I will call him "Noel" because he's red and green and it's Christmas time. He slept in my hoodie the whole way home and is sleeping on me right now.
I think I need an intervention! ;)
Oh and I did actually leave with crickets too. And the first Iggy I asked to hold actually was sick as I thought. Poor baby had a massive mouth infection and was badly malnourished. He's headed to the vet on Monday. No one had noticed so hopefully I helped save his life.
