Pet Iguanas?
So my neighbors went out and bought two pet iguanas. What were they thinking? Apparently, the husband used to raise iguanas and he was excited to be able to teach his trade to his kids. What he failed to remember, however, is that he travels a lot for work. So, there Lara was with two pet iguanas and six kids while her husband was travelling all over the place! And apparently iguanas don't know how to eat well when they are born. You have to actually train the iguana to eat. So, Lara quickly found one dead iguana in her son's cage. She ran back to the store with the dead iguana and asked for a refund - or a new one. And they gave her the new iguana! The next day, she found that the other one had escaped its cage and was wandering around the house somewhere. The question, of course, was where!
The moral of this story, of course, is to think about your purchases before you make them. If you really want a certain type of animal, but aren't going to be home to care for it, it might be better not to get it. And if you don't have the time that it takes to really care for it properly - wait until a point in your life when you do. We all love animals - at least most of us do - but few of us want an iguana loose in the house!
