Tarzan is a very funny small male 5-6 year old iguana.  I named him Tarzan after noticing him eat consistently by hanging from 2 toes.  It's hilarious to watch him!

Tarzan, December 2004 UPDATE

He's still such a riot to watch, and a very nice iguana.  Obviously from his previous life's diet he is stunted.  We do not believe that he will grow to be much larger.

Pip, November 2005- Pip has been adopted!

Her Story:

Pip,  January 2004

Pip is a very sweet and small 4 year old female iguana.  As you can see from her photo, she is very brightly colored.  She enjoys climbing all over humans!

Pip, December 2004 UPDATE

Pip came in with Tarzan, and they were about the same size.  Since then, she has more than tripled in size!  She has beautiful blues and greens all over:

Pip, July 2005

In April, 2005 Pip was adopted, but unfortunately things did not work out in her new home. Her new owner felt that she did not have enough time to dedicate to Pip, so she is back at IRN and we hope to find her a forever home soon. While she was away, she laid eggs and lost a significant amount of weight. She also ripped out several nails. She is recovering nicely, her nails are growing back and she is basking with her new friend, Rowena. She is such a sweet girl. We're sure she'll find a new home soon.

Feb. 2006- update!! At long last my big man Rex has been adopted!!!

His Story:

Rex, February 2004

Rex is a very large and handsome 7 year old male iguana.  He came to us pretty filthy and thin, so we'd like to keep him around a bit and help him gain some weight first, but he will be available for adoption soon!  We'll keep you posted on his progress!

April, 2004 UPDATE

Rex is still settling in and will need some more time to regain weight.  He has started his first shed recently to reveal some beautiful greens below!

December, 2004 Update:

Rex has been dewormed several times and is being feed well, but he is still not gaining as much weight as we would like.  We will plan on keeping him here at IRN for at least 2 more months.

April, 2005 UPDATE

Rex is still hanging out with us. He is clear of parasites and has no abnomalities on his bloodwork but still is not gaining much weight. We are feeding him his regular diet as well as giving him additional nutritional support. Hopefully he will continue to gain more weight.

March 2006 Update! Rowena has been adopted!!!

Her story:

Rowena, December 2004

Rowena came to us this fall with severe foot burns and dorsal burns.  She sloughed off approximately a 2"x6" section of her back.  It was so awful you could even see her bone.  She has healed extremely well and has become best pals with Galen.

Rowena, April 2005 update

Rowena is doing great and enjoys spending time with one of our newest residents, Ariel. She has moved into a very large cage and enjoys basking under her lamps for the greater part of the day.
