Thanks for your suggestions. It could be that she needs more moisture, it's pretty dry here in New Mexico but I think she's probably defiecient in her diet in regard to something, I don't what.
That Killer Whale Kieko had his back fin curled over while he was in captivity but it begin to straighten out when he was released. Anyway she does shed constantly and she could probably use more bathes. She's too big though, she can get out of the tub by herself. Thanks, Mark.

: Is your iguana shedding or recently shed? Our ig's spikes look kind of what you're describing while shedding. Give your ig a good soaking in the tub and apply a warm wet washcloth over the spikes. Pour warm water of the washcloth. If the spikes are old shed, they should pull right off after you do this a few times.
