While I was sitting on the low wall feeding the light colored iguana, the other one heard me whistling, which I do all the time while feeding them to reinforce the connection, and came across the yard. I held a mealworm up at the edge of the wall and tried to get its attention, but it just kept nipping at my toes instead.
The spiny lizards, like Bill and Cutie, regularly nip at my fingers and toes if I run out of worms, but this is the first time an iguana has done it.

Some wisdom journeys end early, on a branch, with visible discomfort.

Given my experience with the komodo dragon, a big Gomi toy would be *squishy* even at room temperature.
Three iguanas today! This one here, which is getting pretty friendly at this point so probably will get named soon, ate more mealworms than seemed physically possible. Then it flooped out on the wall to digest.
Then Donna, whom I haven't seen in several days, and a smaller, light colored iguana that I have never seen before were cavorting in the driveway. Based on their behavior, I am suspecting that Donna is actually Don. Either way, the light colored lizard was having no part of Donna's or Don's overtures. It's a very pretty lizard and I hope it stays around.
