Default Iguana Mauled me.

Ok, thats an exaggeration. On saturday a big male iguana I work with decided that he had to climb up me and try and sit on my head.
My arms and shoulders got scratched to hell. And he managed to slit open my pinkie finger.
He perched up on top of me for ages, I think he enjoyed the view.

He loves me really.

Just thought I'd share, I'm sure its happened to other iguana owners.

Oh yes Iggy's can hurt a tad, this one ripped me to pieces whilst geeting her out her viv and bagging her up. I thought i was going to need stitches there was that much blood.
I collected one from a Repshop, that was going to be put to sleep due to could not sell, due to being extremely nasty.

I have got her to settle a bit now, can get her out with live food, and feed her whilst on my shoulder.
here is a quick pic of Krugger
