When I was 15 I did something similar. Guy at the store told me to pick a different iguana bc it was gonna die. I told him if he was gonna die he will die loved and with a full belly. Spent literally my entire summer work money on him. Gave him vitamin calcium shots and cared. Lived for 12 yrs. put me through a lot but we were bonded. Loved him with and never regretted the expenses and rescue. Thanks for doing this.
I have been doing animal rescue for 40 years and I have seen things that I will never be able to erase from my memory. Even after all this time I am still shocked how little people research an animal before purchasing it and how they stupidly believe they can care for an animal they know nothing about! Thank you for saving this little girl!
Sara Ellman thats why I haven’t gotten any myself yet. I don’t want to be like these types of people, I’m making sure I learn EVERYTHING there is to know before getting one
Savannah Mae It always makes me happy to hear that. I currently care for 16 reptiles and they are a lot of work and expense and I adore every one of them. Many of mine were saves from Craigslist and I have rarely gotten one from there that was properly cared for.
@@KristenLeanneVlog No time for her? As in like... they ran out of the five minutes a day they'd look at her before this? Cause there's no way they were putting much time into her before now!!
Yeah i cant believe these assholes actually charged 200 dollars for that poor lizzard. Not only did they treeat her horribly, they then proffited of her
Kristen rationalized the purchase in that she said she was paying for the tank and the equipment. They also delivered all that. Most CL people won't do that. If they wanted that much for just the horribly sick animal I would never have paid that, considering Kristen now has a huge vet bill on top of everything.
Right? Some situations I could see an uneducated owner not really understanding how bad it is... but there's no way to look at this sweet baby girl and not know she's going down a very dark road. I would love to be able to read Saylor's mind... I can only imagine the relief she feels and how she feels about all the love she's now getting.
Also, I love that even in times like this Kristen keeps her cool and doesn't go off on these people who let their babies get this bad... she's like '$200? Ok, I gotcha.... have a cool $200 and hand over the baby now!'. Gotta respect that she doesn't care what it costs, she WILL help her regardless.
When she started crying as she ran the bath. I felt that. I'll never understand how people can neglect these magnificent animals. Peeps, if your not ready to make a life long commitment. Don't even bother getting a pet.
i know the feeling a couple months back we found a kitten someone threw from a car on the highway infront of our house poor things back and rear legs were broken and he didnt even last long enough for our local animal control emergency people to get to us and people wonder why i prefer animals to most humans
When you were stroking her head and her eyes closed, I got very teary. It broke my heart to see her relax and look happy. Her entire life must have sucked so far. I hate people! Thank you for rescuing her!
It's outrageous. I can imagine they got frustrated with the iguana's condition and thought they could make some money off it before it died. Unbelievable.
i know, these animal abusers do not deserve a CENT. i can't imagine charging for an animal like that instead of just giving it to someone to rescue it i don't get it. those people were just SICK.
You should report them. They're profitting off of animal's lifes and the fact they still charged you 200 dollar for a iguana they were almost killing....
I just don't understand: Why don't people GOOGLE what their new pets need? My birds need fresh fruit and veg every day and this other owner told me she gives that to her brids once a week. I asked her where she read that and she said she didn't. I asked how she knows how to feed them and she said: "gut feeling". Fuck oooooooooff. How? Why?
Similar experience. Picked up my ball python and asked the (now previous) owners what feeding was like. They said they buy a small/medium rat and just.... Drop it in the already too small tank. Live. A 20 gallon tank for a 4 and a half food snake, one hide, and a medium LIVE rat. And if the snake didn't eat it? They fucking left it in there. Up to a MONTH. I'm so lucky he wasn't injured, but now he's an incredibly picky eater. Terrified of any food moving. I got live twice, he didn't eat them and hid, so I sold them to my sister as pets. Got frozen and wiggled it, he hid again. Left it sitting on one of his hides and he approached it for a while, then lost interest and hid. But there's no way in hell I'm doing their method and just leaving a live rat in with my boy. I'd rather force feed than risk his life like that.
Exactly. The first thing I did when I found out I might get a guinea pig was do as much research possible. And then I did further research and was able to convince my parents to get two more
@@Acquaintance6336 That sound so weird. I used to own 6 rats as pets. I can't imagine what the rat would have to go through...also they can get very vicious...what a terrible situation. I'm happy, you did not trust them and did the right thing!!! :)
As an iguana owner, this absolutely breaks my heart. My iguana was treated very poorly before I got her. When she was a baby, they broke her arm, cut her tail, and only fed her lettuce. I've had her for 4 years now and she is doing amazing. She was so happy and she cuddles with me every night. She loves to explore and climb and even though her arm never healed right, she doesnt let it stop her. I rescued her but she has helped me through so much shit in high school. Im so very happy Saylor found amazing house with an amazing owner. She's gonna grow to be so happy and I cant wait for an update ❤
I recently adopted a dying dog for $200 as well, heart murmur, rotting teeth, fleas & dementia. It may be 'more difficult' to care for them, but being their voice and giving them a second chance to thrive is a feeling like no other and you were put on this earth to be these animal's voices. bless you and your kind heart Kristen xx
I agree with adoption fees but I think they should be waived for terminal or badly maimed animals so that money can go back to vet care for that animal. I get shelters need support as well so yeah just a thought!
Yay good for you! Sweet older doggies are the best💕💕I got my dog at 14 and he’s 20 now and has all those issues (minus the fleas) but every second with him is a gift.

1 cup of Sea salt warm tap water to soften the dry flakey skin. Soak clothes for 30 to 45 minutes maybe and hour in washer with hot water or soak clothes in 4 gallons hot boiled water in deep bowl mixed in with a half a cup or 1 cup Dawn dishes soap and 4 cups of idolize salt or 4 cups Sea salt.
I almost cried with you when you were about to soak her for the first time🥺.

Honestly, I don't know what I would do if someone did something to my dog or my children(even though my kids are adults).
Sometimes I get a lot of mom guilt for my pets and I get super worried that I'm not doing well enough for them, but then I realize that I could be doing a whole lot worse.
Dragon as someone with a 12yo, epileptic and blind chow chow cross.... I feel this. But every time we go to the vet, he always comments how good her condition is. When I last asked about end of life expenses, he waved me off and basically said that he doesn’t think that talk is necessary yet. He told me he expects to see her for a few more years. She’s a retired service dog and she is my baby. He and I have discussed the amount it will cost but he isn’t concerned about her health. He said she’s his most active senior patient! He’s getting my new service dog as a patient in August when the candidate comes home.
Kathrine Allard check out SnakeDiscovery! Her channel is really good for snake advice. I keep royal pythons almost exclusively so unfortunately I can’t really help you.
Seeing her close her eyes and welcome head scritches sealed the bond between you both. She has a lot of emotional healing to do but with time and effort she will find happiness. I wish you both the best life together.
When you had her wrapped up and started crying getting her bath ready I started crying. You have such a kind heart. Bless you for saving the animals. You're amazing. Shes such a sweet girl and I hope she lives long and healthy with you
How can people possibly put a "dislike" on this video?? Absurd!! Thank you so much for rescuing this little pearl, you truly have an amazing soul. She found her guardian angel..
When I was young I remember seeing a guy hiking our local Mt. With his lizards (don't know what exactly) they seemed very big to me as a kid. They'd rest on his shoulders so they were in the sun and he'd just walk. I imagine they had a pretty good life.
Those people should be arrested, awful that these uneducated people get these creatures and make them suffer, good thing for you and giving her a better life, I just wanted to cry the whole time, that poor baby.
Arrested? There are children in foster care, and homeless people living on the streets, you are worried about someone who tried to take care of a lizard get arrested...
sadly that logic doesnt follow through. "trying" doesnt apply when the lizard is near death. just like yoda says, there js do or do not, there is no try. tland these people were obviously of the do not type
I screamed out loud when you showed that huge mite!! Just how in the world does anyone let it go that bad and then dare too ask 200 dollar for her.....Good for her that you took her in :) Good luck!
jesus christ, i don't even know much about reptiles and i probably would have done better than these people. it makes me so sad that the poor baby was abused like that...
ggukz 97 - Oh cool! I own a snake too, it’s a ball python. I would get some type of lizard but they just don’t seem like the type of pet I’m interested in. For now, my python will do.
dude when I was like 6 I got a bearded dragon. He was a baby. He grew up with no metabolic bone disease and was cared for a lot. He died of unknown causes but my mom believes that the fireworks here stressed him out bad enough to kill him. I have gotten another since then and he's just the same. Doesn't move much and is a bit spunky but no MBD and healthy. It's legit not that hard to give the most BASIC care to an animal
@@jackystar5099 yeah I don't know how the fuck you get a reptile to that point without doing SOMETHING. people are awful sometimes, but at least there are people like her to balance that out
@@KristenLeanneVlog My Mushu is a meanie and a lot of work but worth every minute. They are definitely not for everyone. I also have 3 rescue leopard gecko's and rescue rat! I learn a lot from you.
@@Louie2017 Mine was a rat pup that snuggled up to the snake that was supposed to eat him. After that the snake just left him alone. Lol So now we have him and he is as sweet as a puppy and gives rat kisses
That’s what I do with the creepy old men in my neighborhood. My dad says I’m proving my dominance and will therefore have overarching neighborhood power... This is why we love him.

i dont understand how people could dislike this video. I am a reptile lover i have a 2 1/2 year old iguana and this put me to tears. You are a great person to do this and now i am a proud subscriber of yours and will follow your channel now thank you so much to be a caring person to these animals. Keep it up.
I used to treat few snakes I would take in on rescue for mites with Olive or cooking oil, you spread that all over their skin and it grabs the mites and kills them allowing them not to breath. So the ones buried under the scales will come up not being able to get air and get stuck. Leave that one for a few hours and then wash them, let them soak. I would do that a few times and be mite free within a week. I would also clean their enclosures with it as well to snag all the smaller mites too. Not sure if that would help since I would imagine its all take care of by this point but just a some friendly suggestions.
When I was a kid I would catch alligator lizards and keep them as pets temporarily. They always had mites and we would soak them in the bath with iodine. Idk if ppl still use that, it was back in the 90's but it worked really good as well.
"Why would you just stare into someone's house?" When I was in HS, we had a neighbor who would ask that of my mom. She often asked her why she stared into their house from the kitchen every night. Neighbor was crazy and couldn't understand that mom was just doing the dishes; window was directly behind the kitchen sink...
I’m balling my eyes out. I rescued a bearded dragon with no UVB in a tiny cage with dried worms. They weren’t dipping his food in calcium and it was just awful. He lived with me for 5 years and was one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. I miss him so so much. Thank you for taking care of Sayler. 🤍
This is SO painful to watch... like imagine how she is suffering so much.. and NOBODY NOTICED HOW BADLY SHE IS? Like she could’ve be dead right now if this hero didn’t rescue her 😭😭😭
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we would be so happy with more than just once a month updates!!!! I hope she has a full recovery and learns to trust you! Those bites can be pretty bad!
Thank you. This is a REAL Documentary of rescue. I appreciate you actually rescuing this iguana. Not posing it for views, not buttering things up. You're showing what's really happening, which is dark but makes us grateful for our pets at home, safe with us.
In elementary school, I got a guinea pig (I know very different stay with me lol). I was young, my parents were not that experienced with pets, we were not great owners. We took care of him, he lived a long time, but we weren't great. I always feel so so so bad for him because I feel like we should have done better. Now I'm in high school and we've fostered and adopted dogs but I always look back at that experience. These videos make me feel a little better. At least we took care of him enough for him to eat different greens and fruits everyday and avoid getting bugs or any sicknesses. I hope she gets better and I'm so happy you are there to help her out. :)
When you got emotional at the bath tub. My heart broke. It reminded me of how I received my leopard gecko Topaz. The girl had bred him from two random ones her sister got off craigslist....he was in a shoe size box as a year old adult and weighed only 26g. Now he is up to weight. Eats like a champ and loves to cuddle under a blanket. Everything negative she said about him was wrong and was the result of neglect. She admitted she only fed him when she thought about when she handed him over and told him out loud " I hope she remembers to feed you better than I did". I already had 2 geckos and he changed my life as the third. I hope she slowly recovers and thanks for being his saving grace!
I’m so happy you found that beautiful iguana I’ve never had any reptiles and it’s so sad people mistreat such beautiful creatures thankyou for saving her ❤️
I've never owned a reptile but everytime I go into petco or pets art the iguanas always catch my eye, there was a 4 year old male I saw and he looked soooo thin, he looked sad, his eyes were so expressive. I wanted to save him but I had no means of doing so. Thank you for helping this sweet girl, they deserve the world
I just randomly had this video pop up. Thank you for everything you’re doing for this poor girl. Officially subscribed. I look forward to updates and seeing her transformation. ❤️
I know nothing about reptiles / exotic pets but one thing I do know is that she now has the best home ever and I’m so glad you rescued her, bless you for doing this and helping her 🥺
It broke my heart to see her and to see you broken hearted over her when you were filling the bath. I’m so so glad you bought her from those people. She’s in the best hands.
I am not a fan of reptiles, I’m scared of snakes and as a whole they kinda make me uncomfortable yet I know heat is important, proper diet and shedding is essential. She is lucky to be alive and lucky to have found her.
I started crying when you were holding her on the tub. This is sad, how can someone let there animal get like this? Its very obvious something is wrong, and to ignore it and not try to get it help until it could of already been dead. Its disturbing to me. So happy you have her ans she can start to get better now
Oh my god. That poor baby just. Thank you for everything you did for her. Whoever you rescued her from shouldn't be allowed to own animals. You're An amazing person who clearly has a lot of love for animals and dedication to their care.
I actually started crying, you're such a good person, I've been watching you since the very very beginning and I've always looked up to you and seen you as "one of the genuine ones". Please don't ever change. Love you 🖤
You are such a good animal mama! You have such a big heart. The world needs more animal advocates like you! Can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!
this hurts my feelings so much I can't imagine how someone can let their pet get so sick and in such a bad condition , I can't even go 20 mins without checking up on my reptiles to make sure they are okay ! and I make sure they all see a vet often ! it makes me so sad
that is so heartbreaking omg. how does someone just have a living creature in their house relying on them to survive and they just let them suffer in that torture box? :(( on an unrelated note i love how the color of ur neck tattoo matches ur eyes
Oh sweet girl, i feel so bad and when you started crying I just got it. I found a cat outside a few months ago that I took in (now he's my pet) and any time I think about him being abandonned I just sob so being around a baby that has obviously been mistreated her whole life would just be devestating. I feel so happy she is with you now
I was crying with you love. That was so heartbreaking when you were crying about how could people do this? I’ve done that so many times. I loose it. I can’t thank you enough for helping her. She’s precious. You are a gift I swear. ❤️
this was randomly in my recommended page and i'm not complaining. i'm glad i got to see this video, you seem like a really genuine person so i'm gonna have to subscribe now :p
I am so happy that they're people in the world that love these critters as much as I do and work so hard to protect them and give them full lives. most people don't realize just how marvellous and full of personality reptiles are
I can’t, I went online to see for sale animals once and just started balling, haven’t been back, I don’t have the strength to see any more of that neglect and pain unless I had the money and ability to help them like you, thank god there’s people like you who can help, my heart shatters and rages at the same time God bless your adoring loving hands and soft caring voice
Poor little thing, Iv never seen an iguana in such a bad state 😔😔 she’s so lucky to have you now ❤️ can’t wait to watch her get better with you! I always love watching your lives but I keep missing them cause of the time difference ☹️

Sometimes I get a lot of mom guilt for my pets and I get super worried that I'm not doing well enough for them, but then I realize that I could be doing a whole lot worse.

Me to I’m getting a corn snake soon and I’m so scared im doing something wrong.
Dragon as someone with a 12yo, epileptic and blind chow chow cross.... I feel this. But every time we go to the vet, he always comments how good her condition is. When I last asked about end of life expenses, he waved me off and basically said that he doesn’t think that talk is necessary yet. He told me he expects to see her for a few more years. She’s a retired service dog and she is my baby. He and I have discussed the amount it will cost but he isn’t concerned about her health. He said she’s his most active senior patient! He’s getting my new service dog as a patient in August when the candidate comes home.
Kathrine Allard check out SnakeDiscovery! Her channel is really good for snake advice. I keep royal pythons almost exclusively so unfortunately I can’t really help you.
always strive to do better
Seeing her close her eyes and welcome head scritches sealed the bond between you both. She has a lot of emotional healing to do but with time and effort she will find happiness. I wish you both the best life together.
I’m waiting for an UPDATE😩 I want to see how she’s doing!

When you were holding her and her little mouth opened, it actually made me cry. I’m so glad you got her. Poor baby.
The fact that they made you pay at all, let alone $200, is insane.
shes making a million off this video... so what? she doesnt care about the animal.. it made her profit
The fact she took the animal and is giving him/her care is what matters

When you had her wrapped up and started crying getting her bath ready I started crying. You have such a kind heart. Bless you for saving the animals. You're amazing. Shes such a sweet girl and I hope she lives long and healthy with you
I cried too
How can people possibly put a "dislike" on this video?? Absurd!! Thank you so much for rescuing this little pearl, you truly have an amazing soul. She found her guardian angel..
When I was young I remember seeing a guy hiking our local Mt. With his lizards (don't know what exactly) they seemed very big to me as a kid. They'd rest on his shoulders so they were in the sun and he'd just walk. I imagine they had a pretty good life.
Those people should be arrested, awful that these uneducated people get these creatures and make them suffer, good thing for you and giving her a better life, I just wanted to cry the whole time, that poor baby.
RamblingBaba _ why are u feelin so attacked? Chill theres no need to be an asshole over a comment like this.
@RamblingBaba _ uhmmmmm chill its just a kind hearted comment like.... maybe u feel attracted because YOU are the one who doing those things....
Arrested? There are children in foster care, and homeless people living on the streets, you are worried about someone who tried to take care of a lizard get arrested...
sadly that logic doesnt follow through. "trying" doesnt apply when the lizard is near death. just like yoda says, there js do or do not, there is no try. tland these people were obviously of the do not type
I totally agree 💯

[Me, looking at my dirty ass screen] "Damn wtf"
😭😂😂😂😂 i literally just wiped my screen
Lol looking at my dirty screen also, hahaha!
my wife just cleaned me screen while watching this video lmao.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was watching the video, and thought I was seeing mites crawling on her face, wiped my phone clean. I need a shower now, wayyyyy too itchy 🤣
I own and run a reptile rescue and I am appalled by how this little love was mistreated. Thank you for taking that little angel in....
Poor little girl. Thank you for doing what you do. I can’t imagine what the animal world would resemble without folks like yourself.
I screamed out loud when you showed that huge mite!! Just how in the world does anyone let it go that bad and then dare too ask 200 dollar for her.....Good for her that you took her in :) Good luck!
jesus christ, i don't even know much about reptiles and i probably would have done better than these people. it makes me so sad that the poor baby was abused like that...
ggukz 97 - Oh cool! I own a snake too, it’s a ball python. I would get some type of lizard but they just don’t seem like the type of pet I’m interested in. For now, my python will do.
I mean all it takes is a google search
dude when I was like 6 I got a bearded dragon. He was a baby. He grew up with no metabolic bone disease and was cared for a lot. He died of unknown causes but my mom believes that the fireworks here stressed him out bad enough to kill him. I have gotten another since then and he's just the same. Doesn't move much and is a bit spunky but no MBD and healthy. It's legit not that hard to give the most BASIC care to an animal
Honestly they obviously didn't care. It's so obvious the poor thing wasn't ok.
@@jackystar5099 yeah I don't know how the fuck you get a reptile to that point without doing SOMETHING. people are awful sometimes, but at least there are people like her to balance that out
Kristen you are absolutely amazing. Having a rescue Iguana myself I was in full ugly crying when I saw Saylor. Thank you for everything you do!
aweeeee I ugly cried in this video tooo!!! I love that you rescued an iguana, that's so rad!!

I was “full ugly crying” tears of joy when I saw how good it looked after I cooked it😭
Next time someone is staring at you in your House, just stop, look back and wave... most normal people Will get embarrassed and look away...

i dont understand how people could dislike this video. I am a reptile lover i have a 2 1/2 year old iguana and this put me to tears. You are a great person to do this and now i am a proud subscriber of yours and will follow your channel now thank you so much to be a caring person to these animals. Keep it up.
I used to treat few snakes I would take in on rescue for mites with Olive or cooking oil, you spread that all over their skin and it grabs the mites and kills them allowing them not to breath. So the ones buried under the scales will come up not being able to get air and get stuck. Leave that one for a few hours and then wash them, let them soak. I would do that a few times and be mite free within a week. I would also clean their enclosures with it as well to snag all the smaller mites too. Not sure if that would help since I would imagine its all take care of by this point but just a some friendly suggestions.
When I was a kid I would catch alligator lizards and keep them as pets temporarily. They always had mites and we would soak them in the bath with iodine. Idk if ppl still use that, it was back in the 90's but it worked really good as well.
The person who looked after this iguana needs to be fired from her job if thats how she treats a pet
You’re the absolute best. I seriously wish everyone cared about animals the way you do. She is so lucky to have you ❤️
One of the many reasons you’re such an inspiration!!! Opening your big heart to save creatures that deserve a better life 💕🥂
Thanks girl! I love animals more than anying
"Why would you just stare into someone's house?"
When I was in HS, we had a neighbor who would ask that of my mom. She often asked her why she stared into their house from the kitchen every night. Neighbor was crazy and couldn't understand that mom was just doing the dishes; window was directly behind the kitchen sink...
I’m balling my eyes out. I rescued a bearded dragon with no UVB in a tiny cage with dried worms. They weren’t dipping his food in calcium and it was just awful. He lived with me for 5 years and was one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. I miss him so so much. Thank you for taking care of Sayler. 🤍
I would love to see more update videos on her like you mentioned!! Poor baby 😭 at least she’s getting the care and attention she deserves now
This is SO painful to watch... like imagine how she is suffering so much.. and NOBODY NOTICED HOW BADLY SHE IS? Like she could’ve be dead right now if this hero didn’t rescue her 😭😭😭
I can’t look at her little face without wanting to cry. She wants to live so bad and is so terrified and must be in so much pain 😢
Because many people don't have the money, and the law would fucking ruin their lifes for doing the right thing.
How many dont get rescued?
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we would be so happy with more than just once a month updates!!!! I hope she has a full recovery and learns to trust you! Those bites can be pretty bad!
Ok but when she was in the bath she looked like she was having so much fun. Omg she’s adorable 🥺
I'm so pissed that it's so easy for people to have access to these animals. They were not qualified.
Oh Lord. And the fact that the lady runs a pet service, scares me.
I know there are tons of good people at these, but too many of them get these jobs to justify their animal hoarding and savior complexes.
This is why my pets will never go anywhere without me
She works at one, doesn't run it. 🙃

Thanks for saving this iguana and letting us know.
Thank you.
This is a REAL Documentary of rescue.
I appreciate you actually rescuing this iguana. Not posing it for views, not buttering things up. You're showing what's really happening, which is dark but makes us grateful for our pets at home, safe with us.
There’s not even an excuse for how much abuse this animal has been through
Exactly. They couldn’t even turn off the effing light.
I genuinely don’t understand how this could happen
I CANT STOP CRYING! I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN DO STUFF LIKE THIS! IM SO HAPPY YOU GOT HER! BLESS YOU! YOU'RE AMAZING!!!
My skin was C R A W L I N G watching those mites fall off her skin😢
This video made me itchy. Thanks for saving this little baby, you are a gods sent angel 😇
In elementary school, I got a guinea pig (I know very different stay with me lol). I was young, my parents were not that experienced with pets, we were not great owners. We took care of him, he lived a long time, but we weren't great. I always feel so so so bad for him because I feel like we should have done better. Now I'm in high school and we've fostered and adopted dogs but I always look back at that experience. These videos make me feel a little better. At least we took care of him enough for him to eat different greens and fruits everyday and avoid getting bugs or any sicknesses. I hope she gets better and I'm so happy you are there to help her out. :)
This made me cry. I'm so happy she has a home where she can heal now. I can't wait to see how her health improves!! You're amazing 💚💚💚
This..
When you got emotional at the bath tub. My heart broke. It reminded me of how I received my leopard gecko Topaz. The girl had bred him from two random ones her sister got off craigslist....he was in a shoe size box as a year old adult and weighed only 26g. Now he is up to weight. Eats like a champ and loves to cuddle under a blanket. Everything negative she said about him was wrong and was the result of neglect. She admitted she only fed him when she thought about when she handed him over and told him out loud " I hope she remembers to feed you better than I did". I already had 2 geckos and he changed my life as the third. I hope she slowly recovers and thanks for being his saving grace!
She seems like she has so much life in her eyes still. Poor baby. You are a real hero for saving her.
It's so wonderful, sayler will get a better chance at life. You are such a blessing! She must feel so much better already.
noticed this was a month ago but where’s the updateeee :(

I’m so happy you found that beautiful iguana I’ve never had any reptiles and it’s so sad people mistreat such beautiful creatures thankyou for saving her ❤️
I've never owned a reptile but everytime I go into petco or pets art the iguanas always catch my eye, there was a 4 year old male I saw and he looked soooo thin, he looked sad, his eyes were so expressive. I wanted to save him but I had no means of doing so. Thank you for helping this sweet girl, they deserve the world
I just randomly had this video pop up. Thank you for everything you’re doing for this poor girl. Officially subscribed. I look forward to updates and seeing her transformation. ❤️
The poor dear. She's so skinny, she reminds me of a baby green basilisk.
Regardless of your opinion about Kristen.... I literally THANK GOD there are people like her out here trying to save animals lives
I can’t wait for her Glow Up 🥰
When you save an animal from a neglectful situation, help them recover & earn their trust. Nothing like that feeling. That love 💗
I know nothing about reptiles / exotic pets but one thing I do know is that she now has the best home ever and I’m so glad you rescued her, bless you for doing this and helping her 🥺
It broke my heart to see her and to see you broken hearted over her when you were filling the bath. I’m so so glad you bought her from those people. She’s in the best hands.
I am not a fan of reptiles, I’m scared of snakes and as a whole they kinda make me uncomfortable yet I know heat is important, proper diet and shedding is essential. She is lucky to be alive and lucky to have found her.
I started crying when you were holding her on the tub. This is sad, how can someone let there animal get like this? Its very obvious something is wrong, and to ignore it and not try to get it help until it could of already been dead. Its disturbing to me. So happy you have her ans she can start to get better now
Oh my god. That poor baby just. Thank you for everything you did for her. Whoever you rescued her from shouldn't be allowed to own animals. You're An amazing person who clearly has a lot of love for animals and dedication to their care.
So happy you found her! Seeing her get the love and attention she needs makes my heart happy. 💚
A monthly update would be amazing! I'm so glad that you found her, I hope she will be okay soon 💜
She’s so lucky that you found her!!🥺
I actually started crying, you're such a good person, I've been watching you since the very very beginning and I've always looked up to you and seen you as "one of the genuine ones". Please don't ever change. Love you 🖤
I'm glad there are people like you that will go out of your way to save poor mistreated animals.
And she is so little! How heartbreaking! That lack of UVB lighting and inappropriate lighting/heat/nutrients could effect her her whole life. Maannn
You are such a good animal mama! You have such a big heart. The world needs more animal advocates like you! Can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!
Thank you so much. I would love if more people in the world would stand up for the voiceless and helpless, that's for sure. Animals are so precious.
It just really sucks that people can buy iguanas for next to nothing when they require so much care to be able to thrive.
Why the coronavirus sucks 😕¶
It’s crazy for most animals how little they cost. Even some exotic animals are pretty cheap. I noticed it causes people to see them as expendable.
Not really. Just check out the free ones in Florida. Them and pythons are free for the taking.
this hurts my feelings so much I can't imagine how someone can let their pet get so sick and in such a bad condition , I can't even go 20 mins without checking up on my reptiles to make sure they are okay ! and I make sure they all see a vet often !
it makes me so sad
that is so heartbreaking omg. how does someone just have a living creature in their house relying on them to survive and they just let them suffer in that torture box? :(( on an unrelated note i love how the color of ur neck tattoo matches ur eyes
Oh wow!!!! I noticed that too. It really brings out the color!!!
Sadly a lot of pets suffer that faith, bunnys, birds, fish, dogs and so on, a Lot of people just don't care.
You and Sayler are soulmates! Thank you for giving her a second chance at life!
Oh sweet girl, i feel so bad and when you started crying I just got it. I found a cat outside a few months ago that I took in (now he's my pet) and any time I think about him being abandonned I just sob so being around a baby that has obviously been mistreated her whole life would just be devestating. I feel so happy she is with you now
I was crying with you love. That was so heartbreaking when you were crying about how could people do this? I’ve done that so many times. I loose it. I can’t thank you enough for helping her. She’s precious. You are a gift I swear. ❤️
Thank you for rescuing this poor iguana. 🦎
Thank you for rescuing this baby. You did a great job. It's important to know facts about the animals you care for!
Please give an update! I want to know if the baby is doing better.
She is so lucky to have you... I absolutely love her name, she is a magical little girl.

I am so happy that they're people in the world that love these critters as much as I do and work so hard to protect them and give them full lives. most people don't realize just how marvellous and full of personality reptiles are
I can’t, I went online to see for sale animals once and just started balling, haven’t been back, I don’t have the strength to see any more of that neglect and pain unless I had the money and ability to help them like you, thank god there’s people like you who can help, my heart shatters and rages at the same time God bless your adoring loving hands and soft caring voice
Poor little thing, Iv never seen an iguana in such a bad state 😔😔 she’s so lucky to have you now ❤️ can’t wait to watch her get better with you!
I always love watching your lives but I keep missing them cause of the time difference ☹️
Awwww she’s adorable, I hope she recovers well and feels better soon
All they had to do was a 20second Google on how to care for her for God's sake . Poor baby. Very glad you saved her ❤️❤️
Your compassion is inspiring. Poor thing. Such a beautiful creature to be treated so badly.
This video popped into my recommended list. Not sure why, because I'm friggin' *terrified* of iguanas.... But here I am. Clearly she ended up with the right person.
When you put that you were falling in love with her I could tell that she just felt so much more comfortable and happier. She probably loves you too.
