Sweet Sonny didn't make it. I expected this, especially the last couple of days. He passed away warm, dry, and fed. ❤️

I cuddled a dead lizard today. I sat in my car before going into the vet's office to drop Darwin off for cremation and just held her and cried. She lived longer than we thought she would, but not as long as she deserved.

I let out deep, heaving sobs. The kind that take your breath and only accompany deep grief. I held her and gave her all the affection and snuggles she would have HATED if she was still alive. I loved her so much, even when she was being an as***le. I always gave her her space, especially as she got older and less and less happy with physical affection. But in this moment I held her.

We have a lot of animals here that aren't affectionate and we just love them the way they are, but before I let her go, I gave her the deepest, tightest hugs I could muster. I needed to.

I cried into her, and I told her how much I loved her. How important she was to me. How glad I am that she came when she did, and how, by being the beginning of this rescue, she helped lead to the rescue of hundreds of animals that otherwise may not have had a chance. I told her that few iguanas have the impact on the world that she did and that I'd miss her forever. I don't even know why I took the picture other than to remember the time I got to hold her as long as I wanted.

I didnt attach a fundraiser to the post where I announced her passing because I didn't wanna seem like I was capitalizing on her death, but a few people have asked how they can donate in her memory, so I'm going to leave one here. Please don't feel obligated.

I don't know what I'd be doing if she hadn't come along, but tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and do what I've been doing since she came - rescue animals that have a harder time finding rescues. Iguanas. Monitors. Large snakes. Whatever comes along that needs me. And I am gonna do it in Darwin's honor.

The end of an era.
Darwin passed away today. She wasn't my first reptile (we grew up with snakes) but she was the first rescue reptile, and she is the reason Lumpy Lizard Reptile, Poultry, and Exotics Rescue exists.

I took her in when asked by a friend, and once you take one lizard you become the lizard lady pretty quickly.

She was 11 years old, which is much older than we expected her to live given the condition she came in, but not a full lifespan for an iguana (with good care they CAN live to be over 20 but she had a rough start to life).

We aren't sure how she passed. We found her barely alive, and I made the decision to not rush her to the vet to try to save her. She hated being handled much. She REALLY hated being handled by strangers. She HATED the car, and based on her demeanor I decided she was unlikely to make it anyway, so I made the choice to let her pass away where she is most comfortable, under her heat lamp.

She was an absolute as***le, and we loved her so very much for it. Rest easy, my love

Soooo in case anyone was wondering "wonder if Lumpy Lizard ever got that other land they were gonna buy," Formosa Hook & Cook for Charity Sportsmen for Charity Club paid for HALF of the cost, which allows us to expand and give our animals more space. I cannot tell you how grateful we are 😭😭😭
There are not a lot of grants available to reptile rescuse. We get very few, and this org has been so good to us.

Also Krampus was an absolute angel when we went to accept the funds ❤️❤️❤️. He was a rescue from BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions in December after being found as a stray covered in burns. ❤️. He's become SUCH a sweet guy and wonderful education ambassador.
