Baby iguanas stolen from Nuneaton pet shop
 |
An appeal has been made for the safe return of two baby iguanas which were stolen from a Nuneaton pet shop.
The two six inch lizards, one green and one red, were taken from Martins Pet Supplies in Queens Road on October 12.
Chris Martin, who runs the well-known family-run store, told the Nuneaton News that it is not the value of the animals that concern him, it is their welfare.
"These are only baby iguanas and they need to be in vivariums with heat and UV lights to survive," he said.
"They also have a special diet, they are vegetarians, they only really eat salad. They need to be looked after properly."
He said that the thief struck when he and his assistant were busy with a delivery at the front of the store.
"The vivariums displays are at the back and are locked, and we never normally have a problem, so the person who took them knew that they would have to get a key to get to them."
He is appealing for anyone who has been offered a green or red iguana to either contact him on 024 7638 1745 or call into the shop.
