    not for that iguana. he was impervious to harm from outer sources. he was like an iguana highlander, only instead of decapitation he had to eat a bunch of change.

    iguanas are pretty hardy little buggers on the outside, but eat the wrong thing and they die pretty quick
    they have sensitive little stomachs

    olivia's always eating household plants that are mildly toxic to her
    she just gets the runs for a few days
    it smells so fucking bad.

    she is 5, so only half the age of what your cousin's was.
    and from tip of her nose to tip of her tail, she's about my height, maybe a little shorter, i'd put her at around 5'5" 5'6"
    her body itself is only about 2 feet long

    i can't imagine iguanas actually needing that long of a tail for balance, given that they don't actually do anything perilous.

    Because they are actually raptors in disguise, they will rise up on their hindlegs one day and start running people down in the street, obviously then they will need the tail for balance on those quick turns when hunting down a particularly speedy child.

    in the wild they live in the jungle canopies eating fruit from the trees

    also it stores fat
    and it's used for fleeing predators, like most lizards, they have detachable tails that grow back (but stunted and crooked, olivia's never lost hers fortunately) if an enemy grabs their tail, which they are most likely to do since they have more tail than body, the tail can be instantly dropped by the iguana and will actually writhe around like it's struggling, giving the iguana a chance to escape to safety.
    they are seriously cool critters.

    Are there hypoallergenic pets that aren't shit ugly or stupid?

    I think I could benefit from having a pet.

    That's one of the reasons I want one, they have hair, not fur. So they drop as much hair as a human and are hypoallergenic.

    what's the difference between hair and fur?

    a perfunctory google search tells me there isn't one

    from what I understand

    fur is thicker, consists of different coats, and results in shedding.

    hair is exactly like what we have- no allergies, no hair everywhere, but a little more coarse?

    mammologist Nancy Simmons of the American Museum of Natural History begs to differ (they're indistinguishable)

    I think what most people are allergic to with animals is their dander, but I'm not sure

    It may be different for dogs, but I know people are allergic to a cat's saliva not it's fur.

    http://www.dog-obedience-training-review.com/hypoallergenic-dogs.html

    Other than Soft Coated Terriers I'm kinda partial to Schnauzers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnauzer
    You can even order medium, large, or supersized!

    And Airedale's are pretty cool dogs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airedale_Terrier

    like it says, you may still be affected by a hypoallergenic dog, but most people are not, or are much less effected by them

    The only problem with midgets is having to get a special toilet for them because they can't use the normal one and refuse to use a tray, it's pretty frustrating until they are old enough to be let outside.

    Aw snap.

    No.

    I mean something that will play with as not even my imaginary friends did. I hope dogs aren't the only option here because, you know, not exactly hypoallergenic.

    EDIT: Oh ok, SE++ felt like being helpful today. EDIT2: Holy shit these dogs are expensive!

    I would have a long time ago, but my Dad's allergic. Or did you mean the hypoallergenic ones are in the pound waiting for me to rescue them?

    we have two dogs and they are both cheeky little things who keep escaping and like to eat bees

    2759265138_3c8acd2f49.jpg
    This is Bobby, the bigger of the two
    2759263352_eeffe1483b.jpg

    2759266624_40cc0508ce.jpg
    Bobby is inspecting a bee so he can eat it. Perry (who is only little) is ignoring me.


    My boyfriend really wants a ferret, though, and I wouldn't mind a snake or gecko (but they are hell of expensive, unless you go catch one, which probably has disastrous results)
