Godzilla vs. Bell Pepper… and the bell pepper never stood a chance 🌶️💀

Enrichment helps our animals stay active, curious, and mentally stimulated by encouraging natural behaviors they’d use in the wild.

So instead of a neatly chopped salad today, Godzilla gets to earn his snack the fun way.

Bell peppers are a healthy treat, and as a Rhinoceros Iguana, he’s mostly a veggie guy… just with a flair for destruction 🦖
