Kingdom Petrie

Remember when we were wondering if the young iguanas get attached to each other? See the post here…

Well, I was cruizing wikipedia today and thought I’d search for green iguana, to see what they had to say about them, and I thought this was pretty interesting…

Juveniles stay in familial groups for the first year of their lives.^[21] Male Green iguanas in these groups often use their own bodies to shield and protect females from predators and it appears to be the only species of reptile which does this.^[22]

This seems to be describing exactly what Petrie would do to protect Ducky, so it makes us wonder even more – is Petrie a he? He certainly looks like it!

So Petrie’s cage does not fit through the door of the new house!!! Thankfully, we were planning on building a new cage right away anyway. So tomorrow morning we will be building the new cage in the bed room that will be his new home, hopefully a cage that will come apart easier for next time we move . We are working on buying a place, so hopefully there won’t be too many more moves before we’re settled in. Ah!

Thankfully I picked up some wood sealer today for the chicken coop, but it looks like instead we’ll be using it on Petrie’s cage to seal it. We didn’t seal the last one because we were too impatient to get our iggy, and we knew that the cage wouldn’t last long anyway because of size.
