Meet Our Animals Thursday: Basil

We’re excited to kick off a new weekly series where you’ll get to meet one of our amazing animal ambassadors every Thursday!

🦎

This week, meet Basil, our sweet green iguana 💚 (and our biggest Denver Broncos fan 🧡💙 ).

Basil is about 8 years old and came to The Science Zone in 2018 after Casper PD brought him to us. He had escaped his previous home and was found on the street after being attacked by a dog, leaving him with scars and nerve damage in his tail. Basil also has Metabolic Bone Disease, which is why he can’t fully close his mouth and often relaxes with his tongue sticking out. Our team works hard every day to give him a happy, comfortable life.

Basil has grown into an incredibly affectionate and friendly iguana. He loves baths, snuggling with people he loves, and lounging on his favorite driftwood. He never skips a meal, blueberries are his favorite right now! 🫐

Basil is the sweetest and friendliest iguana you will ever meet!

Stop by and say hello to Basil when we open on January 15th, and follow along for more Meet Our Animals Thursdays each week!
