Like tonight we will be putting down a severely damaged iguana. This iguana has MDB metabolic bone disease the best way to explain what happened is to feed a 3 yr old M&M's for a year and see how they turn out. Well this particular one has a deformed spine that is so terrible that it cannot use either of it's back legs we tried to make it more comy but the seisures are getting bad. :)
