    he's a green iguana called bluey we got him from a rescue centre he's a bit smaller than he's ment to be because he was'nt looked after propley my daughter renewed my intersest in iggys when she got one a few months ago i had one ages ago and never thought i'd get a chance to own another but we got the chance of a massive tank gradually got the lighting heatpads etc and then bluey came along troble is he spend more time out of the tank than in lol next is another corn snake

    I know what you mean about that tail whipping :D

    one hell of a weapon they have.
    my Iggy has used that whip across my hubbys stomach after he made the mistake of getting her out of her enclosure with no teashirt on , a big red welt across his chest :)


    i think maybe she didnt recognise him with no clothes on :)
