This past March, the Mid-Michigan Reptile Rescue took in 27 assorted varanids (Varanus), tegus (Tupinambis), and Rock Iguanas (Cyclura), many of them extremely thin and dehydrated. All had been in the possession of a Detroit resident, who passed away without leaving any instructions or provisions for their placement. To help buffer the expense of caring for these rescued animals, the IRCF donated $500 and rallied other IRCF members for donations. Answering the call for assistance, IRCF members: Mark Malfati (West Coast Iguana Research), Desiree Wong (IRCF Public Relations), Kathryn Tosney, Ella Marie Poyner, and Jerod Rice amassed $1,065 in aid. Thank you contributors!
