Cosmo, iguana

Cosmo is a female iguana being kept at Kuddles and Scales Rescue. Cosmo has been vaccinated.
Cosmo's current caretakers say:
She grew up with no UVB light, but luckily has not shown any signs of serious MBD. She loves to hang out on tall places like a cat tree and even on her human's head or shoulders. She would be happy to learn harness training and walk around in a grassy yard in summer time.
