This sexy lady is Iwuana the Iguana. She lives at the back of Jenny's science class. She enjoys long stretches under the heat lamp and gets excited about a good spring greens mix, but won't hesitate to whip you with her tail if you even think to break her heart.
I think that Iwuana would get along well with Bob, a rather huge iguana that lives at the pet store by our condo. Nobody seems to know what the store is called -- they just call it by the owner's name, "Fish Lady." The store is rather unassuming. We passed by it almost daily for 6 months before realizing that the brick building with the metal covered doors had a pet store between the two daycares. Walk inside and a tropical paradise awaits, complete with a myriad of lizards, snakes and turtles and a plethora of fresh and saltwater fish.
Jenny and I were there on Saturday, so I asked Fish Lady some advice about transporting my turtle, Popeye, from Edmonton to Whitehorse. She said that as long as I fly Air North, I would have no problems bringing Popeye as a carry-on. Air Canada, however, is not so welcoming. Fish Lady then proceeded to tell us how she smuggled a bearded dragon on board an AC flight by putting it down her pants. When we walked around the front counter and saw a couple of bearded dragons in a terrarium, Jenny exclaimed, "You put THAT down your PANTS?!"
I laughed, but Fish Lady didn't seem quite as impressed.
