Apparently the guy that I thought got it isn't the right one. The one that did get it was out of town on vacation till Monday. I wonder who was caring for his new friend. I called my friend and asked if we could go over there and get some pics. He tld me the guy lives in Ruskin, which is a little drive away so he didn't want to go. So I came clean and told him I was worried about whether the guy could take care of him. He said he'd try to get me some pics of the guy's setup and let him know that if it was too much for him, to get in touch with me. I still dont even know what species it is.

I just got a fresh update on the other lizard. My friend just called me at about 9 tonght and told me that the other guy was getting rid of the lizard and I could get it if I wanted it. Apparently his son went to feed the thing by hand and lost some of his finger. The guy said he would keep it until this weekend and then bring it to my friend if I wanted it, if not he was releasing it back into the wild (DUH!!!). He did say he was bringing the cage and everything with it. Hopefully it'll be large enough for the guy to stay in and I wont have to make a new enclosure. I'll let you guys know more when I hear more.

I dont know if anyone's still following this story. If so, here's the latest. The guy is supposed to bring it to my friend's house tomorrow. Still no idea what it is, from the green and yellow coloration and the fact that it's breeding wild in Florida, I'm guessing a Nile Monitor (not what I would pick to keep if I had multiple options to choose from). I guess I'll find out tomorrow. My friend also said the guy had an adult iguana he is getting rid of. I dont know if he's planning on bringing that to drop off as well or not. Kid must have lost a nice piece of finger for this guy to get rid of every animal in his house. Unless something changes, pictures should be available tomorrow. Anyone else want to guess as to the species before it shows up? All I have to go by is a lizard between 2 and 3 feet long with a green and yellow coloration.

Maybe it's one of those pretty rare iguanas that Devon posted a while back!!!
Good luck with the lizards. Post pics... I'm following the story!

Nice job on the first rescue and good luck with the next. If it's a Nile it must be really healthy to keep it's green and yellow colours. They usually fade out after a year or so.

Sorry to leave people in suspense, bu life took a turn on me. Last weekend a truck ran a stopsign and totaled my car. Threw my neck and back for a loop while it was at it. Right now life consists of muscle relaxers and physical therapy.. so my friend didn't even bother getting his hands on the lizard as I cant take care of it right now. Still no more info on what it is. Will update when I get one.

Glad to hear your alive and well. Keep us posted on everything
