Default New pair of iguanas we rescued

Was a breeding pair, taken from a bloke who was going to dump them. Critters in Hindley first took them off the breeder and then passed them onto me. The male is ok and can be petted, the female who is possibly gravid is aggressive. She is also missing some spines after the breeding session (poor sod), she also at some point lost her tail which has since grown back but the end is still missing.

I feel so sorry that she has been used like a 'cart horse'. I'm going to look into her getting spayed as i feel its the best option.

No sure if the vet can deal with the eggs before spaying, will know tomorrow whan i speak with my vet. But if she lays then i WILL destroy them, then get her spayed.

thanks Nat.
The enclosure now is 7ft wide, 5ft deep and 7ft high. They have a pool to bathe/lil' swim and now can climb, which for the first 4 years of their lives they haven't been able to do.
