^D. took this pic of one of mike's adopted iguanas. you can see
   why they look like monsters from this perspective, although I
   think i helped get him past the fear of them over the summer
   thankfully. No longer fear - but a healthy respect. (those tails
   WILL smack you hard, so they're usually safer in the cage....
   well, WE'RE a little safer anyhow)^
