I met a racist Iguana once. A friend of mine owns a pet store in Austell Ga. He kept telling me that his free roaming, very large male iguana was racist and hated black people (No offense to any black people reading this. Neither Diego, the store owner nor myself share this particular iguana's distaste for people of African descent.) I blew it off pretty much as goofy chitter chatter till I was standing there petting him one day. People had been walking in and out for a couple of hours while I was there and he didn't even seem to notice or care what was going on elsewhere in the store. Then a black dude walked in and the fecal matter hit the fan. I was still petting him and all of a sudden he tensed up and opened his mouth and let out a rather volatile hiss. Within a second of this poor guy walking in the door, the iggy was flying through the air, mouth wide open as he dove off the top of the register counter and litterally chased the dude out of the store. As soon as he was gone, I was able to pick him up and he acted like nothing ever happend. I locked him in a cage while Diego went to retreive his customer lol.
