How to free an iguana

WHAT TO DO WHEN AN IGUANA GETS STUCK

We moved to this beautiful townhouse on a lake. I immediately fell in love with this place and knew this is where I would be happy. The universe opened up the way and boom!

The kids and dogs love jumping off the dock and swimming in the refreshing cool water. 

No, there are no alligators - the lake is man made from a quarry and has no canals linking the lake to the everglades.

Anyways, iguanas love to spend time on the deck lazing in the sunshine and then taking a cool dip into the lake etc. 

Our dog Bella also loves to do this. Sometimes though, she isn't allowed to because we have to constantly monitor her etc. So we put up this dog gate/fence to keep her from getting out.

Well, this iguana must have been startled by the dogs that when it tried to run away, it got stuck. 

I had a video of the iguana stuck, but it never showed it actually getting away (long story).

So anyways, I had to use some olive oil. I must admit, I was a bit nervous. I didn't to get whacked by its powerful tail or get scratched by it's scary looking claws.

Okay, I know you see the two dogs in the video. They actually didn't try to hurt the little bugger. They were curious though and kept smelling the little guy and at some point, licking the delicious olive oil off of him. No, I don't know if it was a male iguana. 

I ended up having to use crowbar action with a hammer, to pull the wires apart. Then I had to tilt that heavy cage by maneuvering in such a way that it didn't crush the iguana and get the section he was stuck in, into the water. 

After a few wiggly movements - thanks to the olive oil and the water - he slipped out and swam away to freedom! 

Yes, I admit I shed a few tears of joy and relief.

Could this be iguana spirit medicine? I don't know.

WHAT DOES IGUANA TEACH US?

The iguana reminds me:
  • To be content with what I have -they know how to rest and be in the moment.
  • To be balanced between my responsibilities and learning how to relax.
  • To be observant and aware.
  • To learn how to blend into my environment even though I may not relate fully.
  • To be grateful and appreciate life as it shows up.
  • To release unhealthy habits or attachments.

I hope that helped you! Have an amazing day!
