ONTARIO IGUANAS: BACKGROUND STORY: BILLY

So my boyfriend and I don't know too much about Billy's past, back in early 2012. We went to Brampton to pick him up, only seeing pictures of him and not really knowing what to expect. Just like Sassy he was being housed in a tank as well ( I don't recommend tanks for anything other than a hatchling) he was in a bigger tank that what Sassy came from but it offered me little comfort. These are the photos we seen of him prior to purchasing him, some local people may remember seeing these photos on Kijiji.

The owner had him in a cardboard box and we could hear him scratching around in there trying to get out. After we left there apartment We transferred him over to a crate s he would be more comfortable in the car ride and be able to see out, this is him during the car ride home.

He was a bit thin and if you zoom in on the second picture you can see he had a broken toe that crossed over the next, his nails were never trimmed so with them being so sharp the broke toe had been cutting away at the second toe. So he had a very deep cut there that was infected so that what we worked on first when we got him home and settled it. The following picture is right when we got him home.

He was such a good by when we got him home, he was always wanting to be with you and climb all around like a healthy ad happy iguana should want to do. He quickly started to put on some weight as he is a bit mall for his age, in these pictures we were told he was 2.5 when we purchased him.

As he was out so often climbing around and his broken figure actually began to straighten out over time, today the finger looks completely straight just with a small bump on the knuckle. He has grown so much since the day we got him.
