I have a 3 and a half year, female Iguana who is about 3 and a half feet
long. Her cage is 6 feet long, 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall. She has a Ceramic
heater and a UVB bulb. Her temperture is kept at about 92 degrees.
A week and a half ago I let her out into my room to run around. She wouldn't go back into her cage and she was out of her cage for
about 3 hours. A couple of days after that she quit eating and stays in one spot.
This has been going on for about a week now. I finally got her to eat today but she
is kind'va sluggish and she makes a smacking sound when she opens her mouth after eating.
I don't know if she does that all the time because I never noticed but it doesn't seem right
to me. Also her mouth is redder than usual. She has not used the bathroom for a week either. If you could help me in anyway I would be most grateful. Thank you ahead of time!!!!
One more thing she seems to be alert and her skin is still the same color.
