iguana help

[Andrea Kirk <kirkam@wam.umd.edu>]

I know this is pretty off-topic but I think there are some herp-lovers
on-list that may be able to help me. I found a 3.5 ft long iguana on my
deck this evening, and it does not belong to the neighbors. We don't have
anything really suitable to put him in, so he's in a 48-gallon plastic
container with a screen over the top, and a lamp next to it.  A call to
the pet store advised us on food, but does anyone have any suggestions
(off list of course) on how we could make the guy more comfortable for a
day or so? If we cannot locate the owner, we'll take him to the pet
store...

Oh yes. I found it interesting how the fellow's tail is very stiff
laterally, but is fairly flexible vertically at the base..kind of like
what I've read about eumaniraptorans...(relevance!)
