Luckilus Reptilus

That is not the scientific name of this lizard, don’t ask me because I do not know the answer. This is a local iguana, my pet, I have it since January 2003, more than 2 1/2 years already. It is more or less 3 ft. in length including the tail. Most of my relatives consider it as a bad luck but not for me because since I bought I’ve encountered lot of good lucks. I won’t enumerate it anymore.

After I bathe my iguana, I usually go out of our house to seek for sunlight to parch my iguana and when people got to see it they will always ask me these questions:

“Ano yan?”
“Nangangagat ba yan?”
“Anong kinakain nyan?”

And here I my answers:

“Iguana po!”
“Hawakan nyo po” (he/she will back off..hahaha)
“Mga gulay po”

Having heard of my answers still I’ll see their face in disbelief..hmmm..i can’t blame them, I guess they can’t say “Pasensya na wala kasi sa bundok nyan.” (hahaha).

I fed my iguana with veggies, particularly cabbage and carrots, but based from my experienced its favorite is the latter. After taking a bath I cut its fingernails, ohhh, claws rather because its too pointed. You might be asking why I have that kind of pet, here’s my answer, I love animals very much, it doesn’t matter whether it is a mammal, bird, fish, reptile or even amphibians. I’ve already owned each of them.

I wish to have a Burmese python and Siberian tiger someday..hehehehe
