Last night i found out that my 14 year old iggie had died, hes lived with my dad for about 51/2 years because he use to be soo mean . but the past few weeks he became really sweet and i was planing on taking him back home. when i got there my dad had explained to me that Iggie Jr was having what he thought was a stroke. his eyes would roll back in his head and he would twich. so what he decided to to was freez him because that what they do to them selves in they wild... ...iggie was about 41/2feet long with tail. and thats the biggest iguana my dad has seen in person... i want to keep him for ever but i dont want to be mena ... dad said we should stuff it bit idk if that would be good... poor Iggie jr may he rip!!! And i am so sory for your Iggie may she rip

I’m sorry for your loss. Personally stuffing the iguana seems a bit macabre....it’s only going to remind you of your loss I would think.

Also, what do you mean they freeze themselves in the wild? How so? I do believe you should euthanize animals, not freeze them. There are some negatives to freezing that I won’t go into because I think you should focus on the positive now...that your iguana is in a better place and the suffering is over.

i was just going to ask the same question about the freezing thing; is that something that they do at a vet’s office? i am sorry to hear about your loss as well.

They freeze themselves by not getting and heat an keeping them selves warm. also i was thinking about dry freezing him and thats what they do to many animals because they want them to still be around. but that is alot of money. but what they do is use like put them in dry ice that freeze them then theym paint them the color they are, a man was telling me that when i went to look a another Iggy.... i love them this so much .. but i am not sure what to do with my Iggy here he is still in a freezed i don’t wonna throw him away or bury him because other animals would get to him an d eat him so that’s really why i want to dry freeze him and be able to still know he was my Lil first Iggy.. thanks for all your help!! so keep me posted on how i should take care of him. Its greatly appreciated - thanks;Brittny

Adopting is a great idea.

The vet got him cremated for me. Just call a vet and ask how you would do that or if you can take him somewhere yourself.
