Charlie, Tony, and I visited a market in the city on Saturday. We noticed a vendor with two cages of iguanas for sale. Of course, we were fascinated and stopped to take a look. Well, the price was right, so we bought two! Charlie headed over to the warehouse Saturday afternoon and built a lovely, wooden iguana cage. And since they eat fruits and vegetables, I already had iguana food on hand.
Charlie wanted the biggest one. He cost us Q 50 (about $6). The kids named him Spike. For the most part, he is tame, but can have moods when he thrashes around. We've also discovered that he can run really fast!
Tony cried and cried for "the little one". Since it only cost Q20 ($2.50) we bought him, too. Tony named his pet Fire Dragon Thunder Lizard. He is very tame and doesn't seem to mind being handled.
