wow, i dont think ive ever seen a picture of you annie. its nice to put a face with the voice over the phone. lol

my turn!!

ji my name is kylie (feels like an AAA meeting) and im in central indiana. im 18, and will turn 19 on june 26th. i have been into reptiles for many years, but just recently got into iguanas last year with my baby shela. shela is a 3ft long male iguana, who i got as a rescue. he was living in horrible conditions, came to me with scaring on the neck, burns on the belly and dewlap, severly underweight(so underweight, i thought he was a female), and handicapped-missing front left foot. i got shela without knowing a thing about iguanas, but i couldnt let him stay where he was. so i started my research for days upon days and nights after nights, and thats how i came to be on this fourm. i love my iguana to death, and despite the rough life he seems to have, he always up for some cuddles and lovins. i also have two water dragons, Simon my female (im horrible with names arent i?) and Ru (unisex name) my little male dragon. i love both my dragons, even though my male seems to PMS quite a lot. haha. then i have my 2 conures, my green cheek conure Ceily, and my sun conure, Alli. Alli is a mommas girl and will not go to anyone but me. and ceily i call my bi-polar bird cuz she can have her tantrums at times you wont expect. lol.then i have my 5 cats, ara, harley, sabrina, koo, and bubby. ara was my rehab cat. i couldnt stay out of rehab due to depression and such, so mom got her for me hoping having a kitten would keep me home; and it did. then harley and sabrina are my two girls. ara came from a petshop, and harley from a littler of kittens my friends cat had. the other 3 were rescues i found on the streets downtown at the ages of around 1 week old. and with the names again, bubby is actually a female cat. lol. but i like my animals like i would my kids-of the heart and soul. and theres nothing i wouldnt do for any of them!

not much to know about me. i am looking at around 12years of college to become a ornithologist(birds) with a secondary or herpatology(reptiles). planning on doing my basic classes at a college here in indiana, then off to maine to the unity college, then after that, after graduate classes at the cornell lab in new york. i love to read and play around on the computer. in life i am a hermit and thats fine by me. lol. i work at walmart in the automotive section, and am hoping to get the department manager job soon. more money to spoil my kids. lol. i love my momma like theres no tomorrow, and she is my best friend. over these past few years, all of my family has passed away, so shes all i have left.

but i think i will stop babbling, and get to the pictures (we love pictures!!) thanks!

(both of my sides-im multicultural lol)



My Momma


My igg- Shela


Ru when i first got him


Simon


My sun conure, Alli


My green cheek conure, Ceily


My Cats


My 5th cat, bubby



as you can see, i have a huge, yet peaceful family! thanks for looking!

Hey Im Dan, I live in Northern Indiana. I recently rescued a female Iguana named "Tyann", that I believe was starting to show some signs of MBD. She wasnt getting the correct diet or lighting, but she looks so much better now. Im glad I rescued her at such a young age! She is getting used to me more and more each day. Very healthy, active, and eats very well.

Here is a pic of myself.

Hey all my name is Sarah... I am 24 years old. I live in British Columbia. My boyfriend, Tim, and I currently own 2 Gery Uromastyx... Wexler and Arcade. Both of them are girls (we think) they haven’t been properly sexed yet but we’re working on it... We also have a 9 month old Bearded Dragon. His name is Lewis and he is a yellow-phased beautiful boy!!! He was actually my Christmas present last year from Tim and was my first official reptile.. Tim’s had them his whole life but my parents wouldn’t let me own them when i was young... strangely enough they are in love with the ones we have now... I also have a 4 year old, 4 foot Iguana, .. Esmeralda.. who we rescued in February of this year... She was living in some pretty crappy conditions and was underweight and without any sort of UV lighting... but has happily adapted to her new home and is gaining weight after we got her the proper set up and on a good healthy diet.. We are expecting a new red-phase beardie hatchling near the end of April... very excited about that.. she’s gonna be a girl so that we can breed her with Lewis.... we’re also going down to pick up a blue-phased ornate uro in september from deer fern farms... as well as a male gery to possibly breed with our two girlies... anyways here’s some pics.. hope you enjoy them
This one is of me and Ezzy on the day we brought her home... she’s gotten quite a bit chubbier since then!!!!


this one is of Lewis when i brought him to my parents house while housesitting.. he was adjusting to his surroundings and wasn’t enjoying me practicing with the new camera......


this is aracde.. she’s the lesser hermit of the two


this is wexler.. she’s the chunkymunky of the two

 "Let Introduce Ourselves" (Updated)

my name is jesse and i live in glenn heights, texas, which is about 15 minutes south of downtown dallas.

i am 48 years old and female, in spite of the name spelling. i have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education that has proven to be useless here (but i honestly hate teaching, anyway—the kids just get lost in the “business” of education). so i work in the dairy dept. a wally world, and i’m not sure why i ended up there, but i am sure god knows what he’s doing, so i accept it.

i live with one other human, a man named jim to whom i offered my couch just before christmas last year. he was homeless and had been for some time. i didn’t really know him, but god said take him in, so i did, and he has been an amazing blessing here. we’ve decided to keep him.

i live also with two dogs, marty and persephone. (i warned jim when he came to stay with us: “two rules—no smoking in the house, and, persephone is the princess and does whatever she wants.)

i have four cats, bitty, chante, sneaky-pie and sylvester; four parrots, pepe, merlin, tiki and rio (who recently laid two eggs, my first clue that he was a girl!); and his highness, donatello the green iguana.

we all live in a 924-square-foot trailer that i am blessed to own outright. i have a huge garden in which i am growing beets, turnips, collards, squash, tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, green onions, brown onions, bell peppers, sunflowers, strawberries, marigolds, beans, guords, radishes, corn, brussells sprouts, lettuce, spinach, artichokes…ummmmmmmm…oh, parsley, sage, catnip, pyrethrum daisies, borage (it’s an herb) and a flower called bee balm. and pomegranates. i have giant trees in the yard and we get visited regularly by several species of bird and a nearly tame red squirrel i call billie.

i came to repticzone in a panic: my ig had vanished and i didn’t know what to do. everybody encouraged me and gave suggestions, and when i found him (two days later) everyone was glad. and then they stopped being nice (they have since gone back to it). i didn’t know anything about keeping an ig, and ‘tello’s conditions weren’t right. they were a sight better than the slimy plastic packing crate from which i had released him, but i had a lot to learn. and rz people aren’t subtle—they care about the animals more than the owners’ little feelings. i love them for that. i recently ventured into the bearded dragon forum (because i was going to get one, but it fell through), and those people are nice, too, but this is home.

i got a lesson from kylie on attaching pics, so i’ll try. none of me; cameras hate my guts.

first, my baby, donatello



and if this one works, i’ll add more.

woo hoo! it worked! ok, here are the rest:

this is bitty, whose full name is itty bitty pritty kitty, and who is 17 years old.



this is bitty’s son, chante, who was born under my dresser 16 years ago.



this is sneaky-pie, who is very interested in this whole picture-taking process. i adopted her about 4 years ago.



this is sneaky’s brother sylvester, who is trying to look like he’s not waiting for billie the squirrel.



this is marty, the world’s best dog. this doesn’t bother persephone, who has no idea she’s a dog.



this is the lovely and perfect persephone.



this is pepe, whom i’ve had for 20 years (he hasn’t aged a day!).



this is merlin, who won’t stop bobbing at the camera. i adopted him about 10 years ago. he had been living in a basement for four years; before that he was a breeder (he’s wild-caught).





this is tiki, whom i’ve had since he was a few months old. i got him in 1992.



and this is rio, the loudest dang bird in the whole flippin’ world. his former owner begged me to take him. that was about 5 years ago.



he was so busy bobbing and weaving at the camera, i couldn’t get a clear pic.



and this is how i know rio is actually a girl.



thank you kylie, for the lesson!
jesse

I am new to this forum, and I don’t even know if I’m replying correctly. Anyway, my name is Joe, I’m 26 and from Ohio. I have a male green iguana named Grumpy who is about 16 years old. I adopted (in actuality rescued) him about 8 years ago. Despite biting the previous owner right in the face (which the idiot deserved) the day I got him from the abusive guy, my ig has been an amazing animal. He’s never shown any aggression toward me or anyone else. It’s amazing how tame, friendly and domesticated these guys can be. I love the crazy bugger to death.

I still can’t believe how an abused and angry animal who actually bit the previous owner in the face right in front of me, turned out to be a sweet and tame animal in my care.

When I figure out how to post pictures, I will.

IguanaKeeper15,

He’s an interesting light green color with orangish front arms and stomach. His head although is near white. For his age he really has a great color. That picture was taken outside after he’d been basking for a couple hours. His color gets darker of course when he’s colder. For some reason my photos wont post. I’ll post another when I can.

Hello my name is Catherine and I am new to the iguana form, I spend most of my time on the bearded dragon forum. I am 33 and have a love of reptiles! I am recently divorced and living life to the fullest. I got a new iguana in February, I have had many in the past but I just fell in love with this guy.
Here he is when I got him (bad pic, sorry-taken with cell phone):


Enjoying the heat:


He was skinny when I got him and have been fattening him up since. I have to get an updated pic to post.

I have a nice little collection of animals, list subject to change:
1 iguana - rescue
5 bearded dragons - 3 were rescues
4 leopard geckos - 3 were rescues
1 black & white argentina tegu
1 water dragon (may be getting another tonight) - rescue
2 mississippi map turtles
5 african pygmy mice (soon to be adding more)
6 fancy mice
11 white mice - dad was a rescue, so were the moms before they died-have 10 babies
1 hamster
1 cat - rescue
1 boyfriend - rescue (lol-jk)
will be getting a baby lovebird from my friend as soon as he/she is old enough

I have had owned SO many different types of animals and want to have a rescue one day. There are just so many animals out there that need a good home and I hope to help.
Nice to meet everyone!

Angel (my nickname btw)
