Story
my Iguana's came to me
and she had a Little Green Lizard in a 15-gallon tank with a heat lamp its name was Jr.
and she ask me if I could take it for her because she was having a baby and I said I do not
no any thing about them. But being a nice father I said yes so Jr. and me got in the car
with the stuff they had for him and drove home. After getting him home I set him up in my
living room in his 15-gallon tank and heat lamp. After a couple of days went by I decided
to get on the web and read up on my New Little Green Friend. So I did and boy oh boy
was I going to KILL! My daughter. The guy was in the WRONG ENCLOSURE! THE
LIGHTING WAS ALL-WRONG AND THE DIET WAS ALL-WRONG!! That was just a little
that I read so with Visa in hand up to the store I went to buy a nice enclosure and the
right lighting. (Because I look at it this way if I take an animal in it will live out it life like
it should no matter what.) So $300.00 latter I had Jr. in an enclosure and with the right
lighting. So I read and read some more and found out the enclosure that I first bought
and paid $300.00 dollars for! Was not going the last Jr. his whole life now I am really
going to KILL! My Daughter! It was going to need a bigger enclosure! So off I went again
with Visa in hand and $500.00 dollars later I built a 6ftx6ftx3 ½ ft wide Enclosure that was
going to last Jr.’s entire life. I was now Happy! It only took me $800.00 to get it right but
it was now right the enclosure part anyway. In the mean time my girlfriend Denise was
moving in with her 2 sons (Robert & Josh) and their Dog (Max). So off I went back to the
web and I was surfing around for a proper diet for Jr. and came across a site that had an
adoptions page and I started looking at it and seen there was a 3yr old female iguana for
adoption here in my state. So I was thinking about it because I fell in love with Jr. and I
did it!! I filled out the adoption papers and sent it in will a week went by and I receive a e-
mail for a lady name Stephanie and that was Quazi’s owner we exchanges e-mail and
then phone numbers and in November 2003 Me and Quazi meet and it was love at first
site Stephanie agreed. So I loaded up Quazi and all her stuff and drove back to Cleveland
Ohio where I live.
Quazi came with a 60 or 100-gallon tank and lights and heater the tank was to small for
her that we know. So the next morning I was Feeding my New Green Buddies and I figure
I would see if they got along and they did that was Great!
So I put Jr. and Quazi in the same enclosure and watch them closely and it was fine. So I
was surfing the adoption site again and hold and behold there was Mr. Worf a 5yr old
male and he lived in New York City and his owner’s name was Duke. Well I am really
hook now on these Green Guys so I thought about it for a short time a real short time and
file the adoption papers well about 3 days passed and Duke got a hold of me and called
me and we talked. Duke was welling to drive Mr.Worf to me and then Quazi and Jr.
started fighting and Quazi was winning so I had to e-mail Duke back and tell him I could
not take Mr.Worf after all because of my 2 and I need to build a enclosure for Quazi and
separate them. So I started building and in a weeks time it was done Quazi had her own
enclosure 9ft high by 8ft long by 6ft wide and Quazi was happy and so was Jr. But now
we are calling Jr. Miss Jr. it was a female.
After I got done at the vet’s office… So off I went surfing the web on some more stuff on
my Green Buddies and found Mr. Worf again! He was still up for adoption
So I had an old e-mail and e-mailed Duke back and said I found away to take Mr.Worf and
we started talking again and Duke ask me all kinds of question and I asked him all kinds
of Question and in December 2003 Duke drove Mr. Worf to me so the one bedroom that
my girlfriends boy was stay in I made into Mr. Worf’s room and move the boy upstairs to
my refinished attic.
Well as everything in life goes, things change my Girlfriend (Denise) youngest boy Robert
decided to move back with his real farther. This left a room open so I moved the oldest
boy (Josh) back down stairs and left the attic free.
Well 2004 was going by and everything was going good with Jr., Quazi, and Mr. Worf, all
were growing and getting bigger.
Denise and I were going to reptiles shows in many states and one day we went to a
Reptile Show in White Plains, New York and seen a nice looking Rhino Iguana about a
2yr. old. Well I really had to have it! So I told Denise, and after looking at our funds to get
back home with, I knew it was not going to happen this time. So on the way home Denise
and I were talking about getting a Rhino Iguana this was back in April of 2004. So we
made up are minds that we would search around Ohio for one. So reptile show after
reptile show we searched, all leading to a dead end. We searched the whole year of 2004
but with no luck. So the Christmas of 2004 Denise told me that she would buy the next
one she saw for me for my Christmas present. Well a few months went buy and in April of
2005 we went up to the reptile show in White Plains again, to meet some friends and to
checkout the show. And lo and behold, there was a pair of Rhino Iguanas there! Well
after looking at them and then thinking more about purchasing the guy. Because of the
stress of an 8 hour ride home to Cleveland Ohio, we did it and the Rhino was ours.
That was in April of 2005 we named the Rhino Iguana, Bronx’s because she came from
New York. She is as of August 31,2005 10 months old. Well do you remember the
Finished Attic I left empty after moving the kid out of it and back down stairs well it is
soon to be Denise’s and my Bedroom, Because Bronx will need a Bedroom for herself.
