When the Iguana is dead, Magua will eat his heart. Before he dies, Magua will take his children to Tijuana, slather them in Jack Daniel's Grilling Sauce, and cook them over an open fire, so the Wall of Voodoo will know their song is will live forever.

Huh.. it's a little cool outside for iguanas today. He must've been moving pretty slowly.

Good thing they rounded the beastie up. The weather in Ohio during the mid to late Fall is notoriously flakey, and can get rather chilly, particularly at night. I'd hate for someone to have found a busted fan blade and a mess of steaming iguana guts under the hood of their car one morning after cranking the engine.... :-P

I found an iguana in front of my friend's apartment building in Seattle ... about 10 years ago (damn I'm old). I kept him for a few days and then we put up signs.

It turned out to be owned by this goth guy named Bat who had named the iguana after some demon. The iguana lived under the stairs in this little terrarium with black "spider webs" (made of thread) and broken mirrors.

This iguana was hardly 3 feet long though... more like nine inches (without the tail; commence "nine inches" jokes)

Hey, Newtown is like a 5 minute drive from my apartment.

Actually a really nice place. Very small, but nice. We got our wedding flowers there.

Awesome... we need to expand the cliche even further, though.




Magua of the Cybermen agrees with the above sentiment. All cliches must be of Magua.

"Large iguana" = 3.5 ft? That's but a wee tyke. My ig is a little over 3 years old and she's 4 ft. long. My first iguana was just under 6 ft. long and lived for 12 years. I'm impressed with the fact the article's subject lived as an escapee for a month, though.
 
2005-10-18 10:31:33 AM
they are lucky to have found him. i had an iguana for 12 years before he recently passed away, and i was always worried about the chance of him getting out. despite being on the loose for a month, that's really a nice and healthy looking iguana.

I think the Cybermen will just kill you.

Three feet is nothing for an iguana. They're almost all tail, so the body was probably less than a foot.

I had a four footer (still looked pretty small) when I was in middle and high school. Mom wouldn't take care of him when I went away to college and gave him away. Alas, poor Igmond, I miss thee so.

I used to take him on walks on a little lizard harness. He'd climb small trees and eat grass. Iguanas are incredibly afraid of dogs, though, and any time he'd see a dog he's freak out and scurry up my leg, leaving my leg a scratched-up mess. He loved romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and overripe peaches. It was his favorite meal. They don't have teeth and like their food mushy. And he loved to swim in the bathtub and have his head scratched. He was a really cool pet.

On Halloween, put a dress on him so he can go as Eddie Lizard.

I'm surprised the Iguana didn't get a speeding ticket.

That isn't a bad idea. Ok, so we now have Magua, Disco Bondage Magua (The Sphinx from 'Mystery Men'), Martian Magua, and CyberMagua. Any more suggestions?

I missed Magua.

You should go to the range and check your zero. If that is in order, you probably need to work on your breathing and trigger control.

At least no one panicked.

These stories are a bad influence on my own iggy, who wonders when I'm going to let him out to terrorize the countryside. I never should have shown him Jurassic Park and Godzilla...

We had one of our iguanas escape from her summertime outside cage in August in the downtown area of Louisville couple years ago. She was gone for over 2 months until someone found her a couple blocks away and remembered the signs we had up for them . She was about 3 feet as well, we were amazed that she made it till October. It got frosty a few of those nights.

Seriously, people, a three-foot iguana is not news. Both of my iguanas are each twice his size. Adult iguanas get to be six feet long, easy.

Btw, that's one fat and sassy iguana, especially after having escaped for a month!

(doesn't have an ig pic yet, but needs one badly)
