2 Large Iguanas

Description
I am looking for someone who knows Iguanas. Enjoys them and their time. Realizes these reptiles are not furry pets to be cuddled with. They are beautiful creatures. I have provided for these guys as long as I can. The last guy I tried this with treated them like objects, instead of pets. You want something to cuddle, get a dog or cat. I have an 8 yr 10 month old male, about 20 lbs, he was 6 ft long but about 6 inches of his tail recently fell off. I also have a 7yr 4 month old female, about 20 lbs, and 6ft long. Both have their own cage 6ft X 6ft X 3ft, lights, water fountains, and dishes. They are herbivores (NO MEAT). I also have an outside dog kennel 4ft x 5ft x 6ft. I use to get them some sun on the warmer days. I also have heaters, humidifiers, filters for fountains, tarps, food, nail clippers, and so much more. I have asked sanctuaries to help, I get the runaround. I’m sure they are busy. However I’m not getting any younger, nor is my back getting any better. When I clean their cages thoroughly (which has to be done weekly). It takes me down for days at a time. I’m already in pain, this just adds to it. I do love these guys. I just physically can't do it any more. I can not just drop them off at the humane association. Both would be euthanized. Because both will bite if you hesitate or go near their mouths while they are perched. But once on the ground they are sweet creatures. I can clip nails and get them into the tub for a soak and clean them up. But again that's if I'm feeling up to it. These guys are suffering because of me. I don’t think that's fair. Again I’m afraid to give them to just anyone. Whoever gets them needs to be educated about Iguanas. I do have an Iguana book for dummies but even the last guy didn’t read it! These guys are mostly caged. They do not get out often. Both had bad starts in life. Also they can not be caged together; the female likes to try to eat the male! I have the vet bill & the male has the scar to prove it. I will separate but the outside cage will stay with the male. If they leave me, I want to know that they are going to have a better life than what I am providing them now. If you can not provide that, please don’t bother messaging me. If you want to know their story or more information or pictures please email. *If you are chosen you will need help, a truck, & trailer to move everything. ***NO SCAMMERS OF ANY KIND***
