Live Iguana Stuns Workers at FedEx Store
A worker handed over a box cutter as the reptile escaped and customers panicked, with one elderly employee falling to the floor.
- On July 22, 2026, Roderick Duncan opened a package at a Memphis FedEx store, releasing a live 6-foot green iguana named Titan that immediately escaped into the facility.
- Duncan expected the reptile to arrive stiff like his previous iguana, Hopper, but Titan emerged active and aggressive, surprising those present.
- Screams erupted as the iguana scrambled through PVC curtains, causing one elderly worker to fall while other customers climbed onto counters to seek safety.
- Staff and Duncan quickly recaptured Titan and returned him to the box without injury, with Duncan saying the employees "handled it like champs."
- Social media users criticized the shipping method, while PETA on July 23, 2026 advocated adopting rather than buying animals, noting that shipping rules require breathable containment.
