Imagine walking around your complex to see this Iguana coming towards you, walking at a very slow pace, with it's tongue in-n-out. Would you attempt to pick it up?
That's just what a co-worker of my sister's husband did. The Iguana was more than happy to go home with him. This was two days ago. No one placed any missing notices anywhere about this poor baby. So, it may be one of those circumstances where someone thought it was cute, then dumped it once it got big. Who knows how long it has been out there, but it is used to people. When the woman got into bed, it jumped up on the bed, got under the cover with her and wrapped itself around her thigh for warmth.
When the daughter, who's around twenty, came into her room to ask where it was, the mother pointed under the cover. The daughter took it to her room, and sure enough it got on her bed, curled up to her stomach and they both fell asleep.
They will have to take it to the vet, it hasn't eaten in two days. They plan on keeping it, and make a warm housing area for it. I hope all goes well. I'd really be interested in knowing what happens at the vets and what they name it. I'll let you know when and if I get an update.
