My name is Pauline and I have this year old male iguana for adoption.

He has excellent colouration and is pretty healthy. He has a temperament like all male iguanas and only a handler will be able to tackle him. I've been lashed by his tails many times!

My concern is that he's being stressed by my cats' with their nosy and curious ways. Plus the fact that we're working class people who have not spent enough time with him. I feel bad letting him go but would be even more cruel to prolong this arrangement. If you know of anyone who is interested, please contact me at 012-2008352.

Thanks.

Aww, looks beautiful.. unfortunately i dont have enough space to keep anymore pets

Good luck to you. Hope you'll get a good owner soon

Nice iggy, but im not into lizards.

Hmm.. i wonder, iguana needs the UV lights rite?

I did get the fellow Terra bulbs but with a shift in location (to the balcony) he gets natural sunlight (shaded) which gives him that nice coloration. Saves on electricity bill too

Pauline.

UV lights to make it glow ? Or the ones that supply UVA and UVB ?

if it doesnt make alot of noise then i dont mind keeping it at my balcony. afraid it will wake the "MoM" up

i am into iguanas but cant keep any at this moment, coz i'm living with family and no space to keep. i hopeyour iggy gets a good home. try to find someone who has experience with iguanas, bcoz judging from your male i think he's going to be quite a handful during breeding season

ur iggy don looks like 1 yr old .. mine iggy 1 yr old plus already .. also not big as urs ,only 2 ft + only , urs one looks big @@"

suiteng: are u sure u can handle & feed(including suppliments & medication) for a 5 footer? well...u peeps gotta think what u all are getting into when u "adopt" an iggy from someone or a pet shop.... in this case... i think the iggy is too old for a beginner. which is also stated by the owner, it cannot be handled unless u know how too...



To peole who intend to keep/buy exotics:
i would stress that keeping reptiles & tarantulas DOES NOT make u cool...we keep these animals for the love of it...not because it looks cool or because it draws attention. it may draw SOME attention the first few months...then when the owner gets bored or cannot take care of the animal anymore...they throw it away to other people, or worst...they release in our jungle/forest makin a huge enviromental impact. maintanence for a full grown iguana can go up to a few hundread per month with electricity bills & suppliments included. more if its sick...& belive me it gets sick often too...from joint problem to egg binding, from flu to food poisoning. & it takes a lot of time for bonding, cleaning & care. people buy iguanas without thinking bout that. in the end they dun have time to bond. the animal turns wild..then the owner release it to the wild. or worst...they let it die. most captive speciment which includes snakes DIE if they're realesed into the wild. because they cant find food. they dont know how to find food. so boys & gals...THINK CAREFULLY before u buy or intend to have one. Do research on the animals before acutally deciding to buy one. get to know how big it grows/howmuch it eats/any special requirements etc etc

I didn't say it's for me. It's for a friend who is expert in handling iggy and have 4 iggys at home. I'm just doing a favor here by adopting a breeding partner for him. I was thinking with so many iggys at home, this male iggy won't feel lonely.

So Andrew, based on your experience you should be able to handle him. You might as well rescue him too.

I've had enough of becoming a middle person who is being misunderstood everytime I speak here.

lol ... sorry lar...you said u intersted ma...lol...just advising u only...later u end up with 5ft monster then how? lol. me adopt? lol i had iguana's almost all my life...i need a break. hahaha...besides...the bottom part of the paragraph not mention u lar.that why i space space.. i know u sayang ur snakes lar :P

I want a 5ft monster!!! Gamera! Oops sorry OT.
Good luck finding a good home for your iguana, he looks majestic!

Yalor... my Alvin so long liao.. Later I post in Snake Thread

Thanks guys for your kind words

Yes, he is a really big fella for his age. When I got him he was such a pip squeak, but look at him now I was very much attracted to him when I found him at the pet shop. A really cute face.

Guess it was also an impulse buying but I was aware of how big he'd become. Somehow the lure of the moment got better of me. Which is why I wouldn't think of releasing him to the wild; easy since I'm surrounded by forest and hills. It would be very irresponsible of me.

I'm thinking of sending him to Zoo Negara; what you guys think?

Pauline.

i don't think they're doing a good job at caring their animals, better search somewhere else lol. how long is the monster in lenght? any accessories included? wut r u feeding ur green dude till such a big size????

pauline, when i was at a petshop last time i had that impulse too once, and still having it though . But i thank my family who disagree with me on getting an ig for a pet because of time constraint, and not enough space to keep. Taking note of how unpredictable these animals can get when they reach adult size, it's no wonder iguanas seem to be growing less in popularity these days. My worry is, the zoo is already bursting with unwanted reptiles and other domestic pets. You can call them up to find out. Try looking for Dr Velappan, the zoo vet, he might be able to help you out. I will try asking around to see if anyone is interested in your ig, but no promises k? Will let you know then .

pauline , how big is ur iggy ? and tell me what u feed ? why ur iggy so fast grow big ?

Thanks funkychips, appreciate the effort.

As for his diet, I've always given him a mixture of green leaf vege and sometimes fruits like papaya and honeydew. I'm not sure what is the appropriate size for his age but body length is only 15 inches without the tail. He has a flawless tail (and great energy!) that measures roughly over 30 inches.

Yes I'm sure the zoo is also packed. Worst scenario I'll still keep him.

Pauline.

i voulunteer at the zoo. belive me they're full enough thanks to irrespondsible owners already. got got a tottal of like 20 iguanas... more behind the scenes...

can i adopt your iguana, i am into it, i can have my pet in my office, can i have it??? pleaseeeee

intrested 2......

Hi there pauline, I have sent you a PM on my interest... check it out.

i dont think keeping the iggy in your office will be a very good idea....
iggy needs alot of care and attention....and it's not easy to have it....you have to at least spend rm200 a month on them for supplement and medical stuff....
it's a big responsibility and it can grow till bigger than you thought....
so think twice before having them as your pet...

don't just adopt it because it's FOC....

Pauline : make sure your iggy find a good owner and good luck!
