My camera shoots fascists*squeeeeeeee!!!*
New iguana! The smaller one in the background. The one in the front is Donna.
I'm out of mealworms, so I went to the fridge and got some greens. Donna was about 20 feet away and took a couple steps toward me when I whistled, but stopped. The little one, on the other hand, kept coming right up to me and eventually took some of the green leaves out of my hands. Very unexpected! It makes me wonder if maybe the fact that Donna was being so chill led the little one to feel safe enough to approach. Or maybe it was just so hungry it didn't care.
I also observed something I've never seen other lizards to: on several occasions, the little one lightly licked the tip of Donna's tail. I'm presuming this is some sort of courtship behavior. I'm thinking it may turn out that Donna is actually Don.
