6-Foot-Long Iguana Leaps Out of Package at FedEx Store

No one was hurt as the iguana’s escape drew laughter from store employees and customers, owner Roderick Duncan said.

  • A 6-foot iguana named Titan escaped its shipping box at a FedEx facility in Memphis, Tennessee, after leaping out when owner Roderick Duncan opened the package on July 17.
  • Duncan ordered Titan from a breeder after his previous pet iguana died earlier this year, arranging overnight shipping in a cold container to keep the reptile dormant during transport.
  • Upon opening the box, Duncan expected Titan to be stiff from the cold but was surprised when the iguana unexpectedly leapt out and scurried behind the FedEx store counter.
  • Store employees were "great sports" about the incident, and no one was hurt as those present began laughing at the unexpected scene unfolding inside the facility.
  • After being safely corralled by store staff, Titan was returned to Duncan, who successfully transported his new pet home, concluding the unexpected encounter without further incident.
