New 3+ ft Female Green Iguana!

Just got her today, her old owner is going into the air force and I offered to either keep her or find a good home. I was surprised she was kept solely in a 40g breeder! Seems healthy otherwise despite being a little skinny from the trip.

Very clingy, she was trying to climp on top my head the whole time - my answer was noooo I'm not sure I want to introduce her to Phoenix, my "puny" 2-footer yet....

Are you sure she's a she?

Nice pickup. How the heck did it fit in a 40 breeder though?!

Nice light colour though, wish I had room for an Ig

Almost...yea I saw the 'masculine' features and am wondering that myself, although I know someone who had a very male-looking iggy and it laid eggs multiple times.

Yea she looks nice, I guess the owner had good intentions but...the iggy is longer than the tank Right now she's in a dog crate (not much bigger but she can stretch out at least) with some big branches and a nice light, pretty soon I hope she can be free roaming in my room or the 'gecko room'.

Best way is to inspect the femoral pores if they are large its a he...

It looks boy to me. Chris is right though, need a shot of the inside of the thighs to know.

Also you may want to reconsider the free roaming thing, unless it has acess to ligth daily, the rooms are heated and you can bullet proof them, otherwise it may be a bad idea. It is much harder to keep your ig healty that way. And it is unlikely your igs will get along and NEVER let them alone together, one can much likely kill the other
