Houston iguana rescue

Rehab staff have placed little rubber boots on the iguana for now until the stubs get callouses so he can walk without pain. According to Carolina Waterfowl Rescue, they've received two iguanas in this condition and average around one reptile a week. Therefore, they have to be kept as pets. After being shared to Facebook, the iguana's story was met with reactions of shock and disappointment online.

Sugar our resident Green Iguana is doing better. She laid about 40 infertile eggs and is getting back to her old self. We are still working with her to get her to accept human touch, but it is a slow process. We changed her name to Sugar after the animal control center, and have been working with her to help build her trust of humans. There is no telling how long this sweet girl was outside on her own. She had sever burns to her side from what looked to be a power line. She had several scars and lacerations from injuries probably sustained in a confrontation with domestic pets such as cats and dogs.

But this sweet heart deserves to find the perfect forever home. Here are recent pictures of her. If you are interested in giving Sugar her forever home, please contact us for an adoption application. I will post pictures and information about the new rescues available for adoption this afternoon.

As well as the update on Raphael the 3 toed turtle that was hit by a car. Stay tuned. This is Philip, he was surrendered to us when the owner was unable to afford the necessary medical expense of having the tumor removed off of Philips back.

As you can see it was starting to affect the spine and the use of his legs. Philip was taken to the vet on Tuesday and the surgery was preformed yesterday, Thursday. He was slow to wake up but as of last evening Philip was awake and on the mend.

I will be posting updates on him as they come in. Search for:. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Mike, Pauline, Hailey and Mary Adalynn. New Year- Happy Everyone! New Residence- We moved to a larger residence in Tyler.

New Goals- I am hoping to post at least two times a week if not more and keep everyone updated on what is available for adoption, our education schedule and appearances as well as how everyone in residence is doing. Thank you again! Mike and Pauline. Stanley came to us after a dog attack. He was pretty well chewed up and had some residual evidence of being hit by a car. We are using him for the time being in our education program. When we received Stanley he only weighed grams.
