Growing up my parents never let us have pets and now I understand why. My younger sister (a senior in HS) got an iguana as a pet 6 years ago and at first we all laughed at her choice but quickly Spikes (the iguana) become a staple part of our family. He's even up to our place (4 hour drive) and stayed during the holidays. A week ago spikes got really sick and was shaking and not eating and his bones started breaking. My dad and sister took spikes to the vet and they wanted $900 just to look at him and test him...we didn't have enough money so he came home to die. Spikes died 20 minutes after my sister left home for school. My dad has been crying and hasn't told her yet. I fe horrible because I can't be there to console her. Not sure what to do...just sad about it. Just wanted to share how much spikes will be missed
