Sparky, rescue 113

Sparky is an 8 month old iguana who is the size of a 2 month old. She was in a cage with no heat or UVB for a couple days before I unexpectedly bought her. I couldn't leave her there. 

Her cage started to fall apart when we moved it. I was afraid she'd escape into my van. 

I need to redo her cage so there are more perches and climbing branches, but I've been letting her be alone in her cage. She is crazy active and spooks easily. 

Once Verde Hissy Pants is rehomed on Monday, I'll be able to put Sparky in the extra large Reptibreeze and Midori in the large one and give them both a set up with lots of branches and perches. 

Then I'll see what I can do to help Sparky start growing to a normal size. 

Emergency Rescue

Of course my house is full. There's a tank or two or three in every room. I am full. Really. 

This is why I just rescued 3 more reptiles. I had to. They had been left alone in their cages in a trailer with no one caring for them and food every few days or so. 

I was only going to take the baby beardie, but when I found out that the baby iguana and leopard gecko were being left alone with their lights off (in a trailer in the winter) I couldn't walk away. 

The baby iguana-- 

The baby beardie-- 

The leopard gecko-- 

I immediately threw away the beardie tank that was held together with tape and had a heat rock. 

The leopard gecko was shaking it was so cold. He will be switched to a better tank tomorrow. 

The iguana's cage had to be screwed back together and I need to get some more branches for it. 

So maybe tonight I have "sucker" stamped on my forehead, but at least these 3 will be warm and fed.
