Meet Elvis the Iguana!

We know we are usually talking about horses and even dogs and cats, but today you are in for a unique treat! Join us for an in-depth conversation about experiences with reptile pets and the messages they too want to share with us as sentient beings.

In this episode we honor "Elvis," Katherine Lowry's iguana who recently crossed the veil in December of 2025.

This conversation is a heartfelt discussion about the personalities, sentience and communication abilities of reptiles and concludes with a "Love Note" full of the wisdom Elvis wants to share with the world.

Our journey begins with Katherine sharing her experience of adopting her first iguana named "Sugar Whip" from a reptile store in Arizona.

Whip was about 4-5 years old and 4.5 feet long, had previously been attacked by dogs and had ultimately been surrendered to the pet store and subsequently intimidated the staff who were unsure about letting Katherine hold her.

It was crystal clear that Sugar Whip chose Katherine on that chance encounter which led to her adoption and Katherine's first experience living with an Iguana as part of the household.

Katherine's second iguana was a Blue Iguana named "Shakti" who was just a baby when she joined Katherine's family. Shakti was more reserved and regal and her bond with Katherine developed more gradually, encouraged through shared meals of salad and blueberries.

When Katherine met Elvis, she did not feel ready yet for another Iguana, she was still grieving the loss of Shakti. But Elvis spoke to her at a Reptile Expo saying "I'm here..."

Originally thought to be a male iguana, Katherine learned later that "HE" was actually a "SHE" when Elvis was having difficulty laying the 50 eggs she had produced!

Katherine started a Facebook page called "Sage Advice from a House Iguana" to share more of her and Elvis's journey, which is also when I fell in love with this beautiful lizard!

Elvis's "Love Letter to Humanity" read by Katherine closes out this episode, which celebrates human tenderness and sensitivity.
