My newest rescue

Hey everyone I just wanted to share my newest rescue age is unknown and so is her sex. I was told female but she’s still very hesitant of humans since the previous owners life got busy and they didn’t feed or check on her for days/weeks at a time. I’ve had her for a week now and she willingly comes out of her enclosure into the pen (as seen in the picture) and even took a treat of a hornworm from tongs from me. I’m so happy with her progress towards learning that I’m not going to hurt her. She went from running away when I put salads in to staying where she is and starting to eat before I even closed the door again.
If anyone has a similar experience with a Rhino Iguna rescue share in the comments! I’m not new to the animal rescue world and have done nearly every common reptile you can find in a pet store. I’ve wanted to get an iguna for a while and when I was asked if I could take her in I welcomed her with open arms. I’ve done boatloads of research and while she’s in her temporary 4x2 for now due to mobility, I have all the sullies to extend it to into a 8x6 and make it as close to her natural habitat as possible just waiting for her strength to get a little better
