Yes it's Florida

LINK to Story Video in Link

quote:

“She’s like my baby. You know she used to sleep in my bra when she was little," Gray said. Igmo is no longer a baby, but rather a 4-foot-long adult reptile with an attitude problem. In fact, the iguana attacked twice in two months. Gray said the most recent attack happened when she was feeding Igmo. “She came at me like a spider monkey and just attacked my face," she said. The iguana slashed Gray's face with its nails close to her eye. The injury required stitches.




This is OT material here:

“She definitely used to love me, but I feel like right now I’m going through some things and she can sense my weakness and instability so she’s challenging me for alpha,"

Never date a chick with a reptile or bird for a pet.

I used to have a gaboon viper and a banded Egyptian cobra.

I got bad off on xanax and would pet the gaboon, my family made me get rid of them.

It would take buckets of drugs to compel me to stick my hand in an extremely poisonous snakes space, much less keep it as a pet.

I agree, especially as a guitar player.

I was out there for a while though.

Dream pet right there.

It amazes me that you walk into a reptile show and buy a gaboon for $75. I mean - it’s a fricking gaboon viper.
