F-6 THE RECORD THURSDAY. MAY 15, 2003 This injured iguana could have used a pedicure Reptiles require special diets and high maintenance dangerous not only to the iguana, but also to humans and other pets," cautions De Menna, who doesn't think iguanas make such good pets. "I haven't feel they don't make a good pet because of their aggressiveness as they get older and larger. "What happens is, a lot of times a family walks into a pet store, sees a cute little 6- or 7-inch iguana, and thinks "Wow, it's so cool, so not realizing what this little thing is going to grow into! They need a big tank, which you'll need to upgrade in size as the iguana upgrades its size. They need a basking lamp, a full fluorescent lamp they serve different purposes they need vitamins and calcium supplements on top of their varied short, he stresses, they need a lot of care and maintenance and a lifetime commitment from someone with advanced experience and knowledge.
Q. My iguana, Buddy Jr, injured his claw when he jumped off the couch the other day. He almost severed it, but a small piece of skin is still holding the claw on. Should I let my dad take it off, or should we bring him to the vet? Buddy Sr, Clifton Sal De Menna, the owner of the Pet Place in Wayne, says if says the animal won't suffer or it's barely hanging on by a thin piece of skin, most likely the tissue will die and your pet will lose that nail. De Menna adds there's a 50-50 chance that a vet would be able to save it However, if the claw can't be saved at all, he be in pain.
Of course De Menna says you can avoid this kind of situation if you do just one thing: Trim Buddy nails. "They have to be trimmed on a regular basis. They need to be kept short because they can be CATHY KRZECZKOWSKI sold iguanas in five years. I just HOME ADOPT A PET IMuf.J!! Get Ready for Fishing Season!

John Pitarres, OBSERVER-DISPATCH, you're looking for the most definitive maps ever created depicting every single creek, stream, pond and 'Professor Higbee's Stream Maps' are question the finest." Howard Brant, NEWARK STAR-LEDGER in showing where to find out-of-the-way trout streams makes the map such a treasure to the fisherman." -Joe Gordon, TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT, Johnstown the The STREAM MAP OF NEW JERSEY resembles another map-known to Pennsylvania anglers as the "Lost Stream Map." The "Stream Map of Pennsylvania" was completed in 1 965 after a 30 year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor. Professor Higbee succeeded in creating a map of the highest detail possibles map that shows every stream and lake.
He painstakingly plotted by hand, the location of 45,000 miles of streams onto a 3 by 5 foot map. The map sold extremely well -until it was lost several years later. Incredibly, the printer entrusted with the original drawing and printing plates declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbee's 30 years of work to the landfill. The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fisherman's possession. Professor Higbee was offered $400 for one of his last maps.
And state agencies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key. The experts had always told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non-photographic blue. Then, in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbee's dream came true. Computers made it possible to reprint the map. Holding an updated map, Howard said, "I never thought I'd live to see this day." Then, by combining Professor Higbee's knowledge with computer technology the STREAM MAP OF NEW JERSEY was created.
