Hi Debbie,

You should watch your igs shedding closely in that area. Iguanas can develope ring shed which is old skin that doesn't come off an area and starts to build up layers of old skin. If this happens around the new tail growth your ig won't be growing the rest of his/her 3rd tail. If you notice skin not coming off, help it out by soaking the area.
