Default Rhino iguana !!

Hi all, got myself a rhino iguana today! Been after one for ages and a lovely 30inch long 18 month year old came along and I couldn't resist ! Thinks it's a female( will check more when it's settled) and it is tame already which is a bonus! Keeping the name buddy from the previous owner! I know,I know, I shouldn't do threads like this with no pics but couldn't help it and I will put pics up when settled!
Cheers!
Dan

Ok I just nipped to get a few quick pics to keep you all happy!!lol!!
Here's a pic of the enclosure from the outside. It's next to my tegus viv and both are 6x3x4.


Next is buddy herself(I think a her?) as you can see she has 2white patches on her back. When with her previous owner as a baby she darted from him and got stuck behind a switched on radiator so got a couple of burns. The White patches are getting less and less with each shed, either way she's still gorgeous!


Next is buddy on her basking shelf. The viv is very plain for now until I know she's 100%. will add some more tiles and branches in a week or two.



A pic to show how tame she is. EVERYTIME i open the viv she raises up for a scratch!



Hope you like

Dan

are you feeding the "debated" omnivore diet or a full herbivore one?
just merely interested.

When researching these about a year and a half ago not one source of information would agree so I am assuming the diet is debated just like the green cousins.

Awesome pics mate, She really is stunning.

Looks really healthy with that strong, upright stance! What are you feeding her on?
