Based on a client report
on 5/1/99, this clinic's iguana care sheet handout is very outdated, recommending
significant amounts of animal protein. It sounds like the same one I got from
them almost 10 years ago! If they have updated this since, please let me know.
05/10: outdated/inaccurate monitor (Varanus, especially V.
exanthematicus) care information.
