One of my best ran out of room this year - she has no more space. I have one contact left to take the big guys off my hands when I get them healed up enough to set them up for adoption. No one appears willing to take iguanas at this point. I don't want to burn out spending time trying to get these guys adopted after spending months getting them healthy. I got them out of.
Adoptions take a lot of time and effort away from caring for sick animals.
I am getting more and more nonreleasable natives. They are healthy but have been kept as pets or exposed to CB exotics or their habitat has been destroyed. These need long-term homes. In a perfect world, this discussion would be unnecessary, as there are relatively few native reptile species brought to wildlife centers. In a perfect world, pets would not be cheap nor would they be treated as disposable when they became inconvenient.
