Sweet Pea is an adult iguana, but had been treated poorly before her new home. They love her and care for with all their heart. As you can Sweet Peas back has been broken several times and all of her toes. She gets around very well, she has no use of her back legs or tail. She uses her front legs to get around. Her ability to survive from near death is a miracle.
Every year Sweetpea has eggs (there is no male present)! She is potty trained and loves chasing the poodle around the house. She sleeps and cuddles with the cat. Sweet Pea gets around very well and seems to have no limitations. One of our most unique iguana's. She has grown to love all the animals and humans in her home. Sweetpea is a very special iguana she teaches us that no matter what the handicap or physical challenge you can live a long healthy life!
Sweetpea has survived great odds and this is what we do!
