Yea, it's a bummer having to give up a pet. I adopted her as a companion to the male I already had. She was three when I got her. However Larry died at 17(ish) this last summer. Sence then she's been in a room alone, just stairing at the walls. I really felt bad for her every day when I'd feed. Which was why I got her FOR him, 11 years ago.

The rescue that took her has two large solariums with branches and shelves to bask in. There were other iguanas all over the place. Just like in Columbia!:thumbsup:

So, It's for the best. For her and me(plus I want to live where she now lives!).

As for ventilation. Yes, I plan to cool the hood. I bought this set up over the cool tube I'd planned. Because changing bulbs in the cool tube would be a pain. I plan to buy a second identical to this one as well. Then I plan to pull air from my hallway through the light. Then the hot air will be routed under the floor and up to the living room. Thus saving that heat I already paid to make. Then because it gets really hot here in the summer. I plan a second fan to pull heat from the room ceiling, on a thermostat. Only pulling heat out IF it gets to hot. I need to get a scent reducing filter for that one. Because that heat will go outside.

Unfortunately, I found mites on one of the clones. Damb near dripping off the plant. I looked at the THREE (notice I said three) big girls, for damage or webs. I found a few leaves with spots but no webs.

So, (oh joy) I misted the infested plant and put it outside where it was about 30F. After about 2 min I grabbed the plant and took it to the bathroom. I rinsed off all I could see. Then also did the same to the other clone. I called weeding4you who brought over some shackley basic H soap. Then we soaked each plant with this stuff and rinced that off.

I had a lousy vacume. So I went and bought one that uses bags and actually would SUCK! Then cleaned, cleaned and cleaned some more. I put a hotshots pest strip in the "flower room" after cleaning the room over and washing each of those plants. Last night I allowed the room to get as cold as I could (64 deg F) to slow any breeding. I also desolved three pounds of dry ice in the room for an increase in CO2.

Today I found out my boss had mites, got them early last week and never bothered to tell me!

So I borrowed a couple tablespoons of his neem oil.

I havn't/can't find any live mites at this point. I still see specks of something under some leaves (which bothers me). However nothing moving.

Now, off to see HOW Neem oil kills them. I also need to find out how much CO2 is in a pound of dry ice. Plus I've used Mayonaise to clean and shine house plants before with great success. So, I may try that on a leaf or two and see what happens.
