One of the newest beasties in the rescue.

This is Tony. His owner was being forced to move and he couldn't take his reptiles with him. Tony came into rescue with a smaller iguana, a Nile monitor, a Water monitor, a snapping turtle, and a scorpion. Tony bit his owner several days ago, hit an artery, and the wound required 40 sutures to close. Isn't breeding season fun?

Just look at those jowls!!

AWw, I love igs! My little 18mo boy just thinks he's in breeding season, HA!

Poor guy, that nose rub is just awful!

I love them to! But I honestly think people should stop breeding them.

He is a big one, looks like he has some awesome colors too. Just don't let him do the big bite with you.

OK Matt, just for you! LOL The Nile is gorgeous, one of the prettiest I've seen. I've not handled either monitor yet, letting them settle in, so the pics are bad. You can get an idea of what they look like.
