My Iguana max was a 1 year old green iguana. He was the best pet that I ever had and had a very hard time facing the truth that he was gone. I had a lot of fun with Max he went to stores with me and hung around on my shoulder all day long the only time we were not together was when it was when I was asleep.Max loved to play with newspaper he would shread it up and then he would go under the paper and run around under it.When max was 11 months old he came down with a desiese called metabolic bone disiese. I took him to the vet and the vet said that I could still do something to save him. I started giving him medication everyday.when he was 1 year old he was almost out of his illness. The vet said that I should put him outside in a wired cage for about an hour a day. I put him outside like he told me too. It was about 9:30 when I put him outside. I put him in a shady spot in the backyard. I came back an hour later and he was dead. I felt so bad I could hardly think. I buiried him out in the front yard and put a bush where he was so now I can still watch him grow though the bush. I go outside everyday and sit there for 20 to 30 minutes and just think about the good times we had together and how we will see each other again someday.
