So I finally have some photos of Don Iguan to post. They can be found here:

Don Iguan - a photoset on Flickr

A little background on these. It was nice outside on Saturday, so I took him out. I had previously bought a huge dog crate for him for just such an occasion. Unfortunately, it seems like he might never have been taken outside before. He freaked out. Jumped at every sound, paced the cage and climbed it, charged at me at least three times. Of course, I was going nuts with the camera, so that's to be expected.

The good news is that we were out there for about three hours, and he did finally start to calm down. I took him back out in a smaller crate two days later, and he did much, much better. I think he just needs to get used to it.

He really looks irritated at me in a lot of the pictures, though.

Great Photos, when we put the little guy outside last summer it took him quite awhile to adjust, so keep working on it.

Iguanas don't much care for changes in their routine(sort of like me!)
But the benefits of being out in natural sunlight are worth a little grumpyness. He will get used to it. Just be prepared for him to get upset if something moves over his head.

I'm just glad I went with the crate, and not with the harness his old owners gave me with him! I have a feeling he really wouldn't have taken well to that. He'd probably have run away fast, or bitten me or something.

I'm just going to have to get him out every week or so and make sure he has plenty of treats when we do. Hopefully he'll come to love it. (Yeah right! )

Thanks for the compliments on the photos, by the way. I almost can't take credit for them. I took them with my company's new camera and the quality is stunning. If I had the money, I'd go right out and buy one this instant.

oh he is beautiful! What kind of camera is it? We have a Cannon Rebel at the office. I think its 8MP and takes wonderful photos.

It's a Canon Rebel as well. It's just a better digital camera than I've had access to before because of limited funds.

I've got my dream camera all picked out, but it's over $3,000 - not including any lenses or other accessories. If I got everything I wanted, including lighting and everything, I think it would run me close to $10,000.

Sigh. It's a fond dream.
