DYING IGUANA UPDATE

Follow both my IG pages 🥰 @kristenxleanne @kristenleannimal

[@ceciwolfcat7]

I follow your pages girl, I need to see the babies. She looks great, thank you for what you did for her!🦎💚💚💚

[@lyssak4076]

How could someone sell her to you and be ok with the condition she was in!?!?! And accept 200$ on top of it? If you see this I have to ask, did you say anything to the person you purchased her from or report them so it makes it harder for them to be able to buy from a pet store or adopt from an agency!? Thanks! And thank you from rescuing the animal/reptile lives you can!!

[@thereseallen6132]

Girl I follow all yo pages because I fucking love your face 💕

[@Mydevineself]

Finally!!!! So happy for sailor!! ♡♡♡♡ Thank you for taking care of her and being so great!!! Cant wait for more videos with her. Also maybe doing a more in depth look at her skin now and before etc. I'm not complaining though so happy shes doing good :)

[@acoolcat8160]

Oh my gosh shes gained so much color and energy

[@KristenLeanneVlog]

she's got A LOT of energy! lol she's feisty!!!

[@shawnafairchild417]

There's nothing that irks me more than when people get pets that they have absolutely no knowledge about. If you don't know how to care for it, or you can't afford it.. DON'T GET IT. I just forked out $180 for my dog because he has an ear infection and people thought I was crazy for spending the money. I always say, if you can't afford a child, don't get a pet either!

[@hrlarsen574]

I spend 1000$ on surgery on my iguana or he would have been put down. Everyone thought i was crazy. This was over 10 years ago and he is almost 23 years old today. Best money ive ever spend.

[@ahhkeewaz]

I spent over 30k on my 11 year old Staffy when her back legs became paralysed and we didn’t know what was wrong with her. We did MRI, CT Scans, X-rays, numerous spinal taps and 10 days at the emergency vet we finally found out she had a tumor in her spinal cord which was pushing on a nerves causing paralysis. 17 rounds of chemo, weekly hydrotherapy sessions and two years later - she’s still alive and living her best life!! A lot of people (vets included) suggested euthanasia due to her age but I didn’t give up. I’m so glad and I’m so grateful for every day she’s with us! ❤️ Pets are for life.

[@shawnafairchild417]

@@ahhkeewaz and that's on being an amazing pet parent! 🙌 Animals deserve the best care, too. And if people can't afford it or don't want to put in the money, then they shouldn't get a pet.

[@angie4755]

I am so happy she's doing better. I felt physically ill when you first posted her, it was so shocking.

[@kathleenhill1537]

@Wesley Bodine if you don't like these sweet creatures, why do you even watch it?

[@kathleenhill1537]

@Wesley Bodine they're honestly sweet creatures (only if you treat them right). If you hate eating after watching creatures like this, then don't eat. Like, literally simple as that. I have no comment on that. I only had huskies and cats. What are you doing to the poor doggo?

[@kathleenhill1537]

@Wesley Bodine chile... This youtuber/influencer is doing everything in her time management to take care of this poor thing. This youtuber/influencer made a video regarding all iguanas are bad to have as pets. But, in this specific video, you can tell that she's doing everything to help the female iguana, that has been mistreated. Etc.

[@lillaurap]

Same. I don't know how anyone could let an animal get that bad in their care. It's disgusting.

[@jomama5186]

I love when you pet them and they close their eyes like "Oh yeah, thats the good stuff"

[@begaydodrugshailsatan]

Buying an animal on Craiglist IS a rescue as long as it isn't from a breeder or something! So she is still a rescue since you purchased an animal being rehomed and not from someone breeding iguanas. Glad to see she is thriving!

[@jackystar5099]

I've seen people sell animals they breed at home. Saw someone near me selling geckos. I know people who breed their dogs and sell them on craigslist or facebook.

[@R_L_A_G]

Based on what too many breeders do, it might be a rescue.

[@lillaurap]

I've worked for the same veterinarian for 13 years and it still shocks me the way some people can just ignore the pain and suffering of animals. Thank you for all you do!

[@lenaugle4776]

I am so glad you took her in. I took in an abused boa, he lived almost 10 years and was like my kid. Took him a few years to get healthy again, his life was shortened. But I know how much it means to rescue animals. Thanks. I wish you happiness and love in your life. :) Don't let negativity bring you down

[@KristenLeanneVlog]

awe that's really awesome that you did that. Good for you, what a happy boa. I adopted an abused GTP, she still has issues here and there. Rescued animals are definitely damaged goods and a lot of times they don't live quite as long, which is so sad. Thank you for the kind words!

[@lenaugle4776]

I'm really surprised she didn't lose her tail. She look so much better I'm so glad you saved her

[@alistairjr8341]

I love how you rescued her. On my birthday, a couple of months ago, I wanted to get a lizard. My mom really wanted me to get an iguana just because she said they didn’t need insects but rather fruit. I didn’t want to because they take so much care and need a lot of space. I ended up getting two green anoles and now she’s obsessed with them. I hope people understand iguanas are not the best pets, they’re very high maintenance and can be very aggressive. 🦎🦎

[@mouhitorinoboku9655]

i kept anoles when i was younger (with my parents help obvi) they were amazing! I still love them, good luck with yours!

[@alistairjr8341]

Oh my gosh she is like a brand new creature! I can’t tell you how glad I am you saved her!!

[@MThomasB]

I had a HUGE misconception that I am sure people will give me crap about. I had no idea reptiles could show that level of affection. I have never been in love with reptiles but I was never scared of them. This makes me appreciate reptiles way more. Or is this level of affection more noticeable in Iguanas? The way it closed its eyes when she was petting it. :')

[@ArmyStay0T70T8]

Talk about a transformation. So glad she's doing better. She deserves it after the hell she lived in. I'm glad she's really friendly. She appreciates it I'm sure.

[@Red_VelvetRevolver]

I’m literally happy crying while watching this. After how she started out when you got her, I’m so fucking glad to see that she’s made an amazing recovery. I love iguanas so much and seeing how bad she was so upsetting. I just don’t get how people don’t look up how to properly keep an animal that they want. We literally have the entire internet at our fingertips with our cell phones; even public libraries have not just books but computers that are free to use. I’m always so confused on how people either “don’t know” or just don’t think and get these animals with almost nothing they actually need. But on the flip side of that, it makes me extremely happy to see people like you who take these animals in and not only give them what they need but make their lives the best it could possibly be and then some

[@farhanahkhaidir1937]

i love having iguanas as pets. Looking at Sayler i honestly shed tears cuz i've jz lost my best friend of 8 years, Nexus. When he stopped eating one day, i tried to bring him to the vet but unfortunately that vet doesn't treat other pets besides cats and dogs anymore. It took me some time to look for a vet that treats reptiles and there was only 1 vet that did so within a 10km radius from my place. When i brought him there, the doctor said that he could no longer digest the food that he ate, they gave him some medication but sadly it was already too late. May my beloved iguana, Nexus rest in peace
