Reptilian Runaway

Green iguanas are so ugly they are beautiful. I was out looking for one today. Not just any iguana, mind you, but my friend Robin's iguana. Her name is Chili Pepper and she pushed open the door of her very spacious cage and then found the door to the outside was open, so out she went. Hmmm.

Robin's house backs up on to a bushy hillside on the edge of San Dimas, CA. The reptilian escapee could be anywhere.

Last time this happened, they looked for three days only to find her behind the bookcase. She crawled in and couldn't back out.

We've used flashlights, stomping through underbrush and a disinterested dog in our search. I looked over neighbouring fences, fearing Id be reported for casing nearby homes for illegal entry.

It'll be cool out tonight and there are coyotes and raptors who could be a danger to Robin's reptilian runaway.

We've left a light on for Chili Pepper.

Sam has a lizard of some sort (not an Iguana) and I can't remember what it is now...but anyway, he got outside and under mom's house once and he disapeared, after a couple days, they gave up looking for him. Several weeks later, mom found him while she was mowing the grass. As far as I know, Sam still has him. His name is Smog.
