Look what I was following home today.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

There is a reptile sanctuary near here, and at first, I thought it was one of the stuffed animals from there, lots of people have one on their back dash (or whatever you call that).
THEN IT TURNED ITS HEAD AND STARTED LOOKING AT ME.

That. Is a car width size iguana. Hanging out on top of their backseat.

Imagine the shit.

[bonquiqui]

Whut? :-|

[pittsmcgee]

That is terrifying! No thanks!

[Deleted]

... the fuck?

[julez]

WHERE ARE THEY DRIVING WITH THEIR IGUANA? And don't they realize how dangerous that is? One quick slam of the brakes and that iguana could decapitate the driver!

[fuckyourcouch]

hahah wtf!

[callalily]

Holy shit.... that has to be some kind of safety issue. Do they make iguana seatbelts??

[Kit]

What the hell?

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

I am so glad that this is all of your reactions, too.

[annyong]

I don't believe you.

lmao!

Does petsmart sell iguana harnesses with seatbelt attachments?

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

I kind of don't believe myself. WHO DOES THAT?

[wrathofkuus]

That is adorable!

[Nicole]

they do hiss!

they were all over mexico when we were on our honeymoon.

Iguana tacos were served all over the place too.

Tastes like chicken!

Ditto that. Only I've never petted an iguana.

[runforrest]

You sound very calm - I would have veered off the road most likely.

[murdock]

*sheepishly* I used to have one (with an ex) she was paper trained so shitting was not a problem. She was a lot like a cat.

But no, she never had free range of the car.

[lucky513]

I always wanted an iguana

My eyes are like dinnerplates.

[daisyheadmaizie]

The iguana gave me the heebie jeebies until I saw the snake on the rear view mirror. Holy shit!

[mamasaurus]

Awesome! If I had a lizard, I would want him or her to sun in my vehicle while we did car trips together.

This is a fucking driving hazard. For other drivers.

ETA: the iguana is a total wtf.... but this. THIS. I don't even know!

There are car harnesses, yes. It could be wearing one there, but it's too hard to tell from the pic.

ETA: MWOS, thank you for this. Finally, it isn't me making the ballsack/penis/boobs comment.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

It wasn't in a harness.

[messykitchen]

My friends have a 6 foot (ish) Iguana her husband has had for like 15 years or something. I like animals and all but that thing scares the hell out of me. There we will be, sitting peacefully on the couch, when her pet dinosaur wanders into the room.

I travel with exotic animals on a pretty regular basis (like snakes, lizards, iguanas, armadillos, chinchillas, and the like), traveling to and from schools for education programs, but they always ride in pet carriers.
