Since this sounds like its different than her "normal" behavior and its worrying you, a trip to the vet is called for Jenny. Even if for a well check, bloodwork etc. Then you and everyone here has something to go on.It just may be normal iguana basking & zoning OUT lolol...like my adult igs are notorious for but a trip to the vet will eliminate the guesswork...there are a quazillion reasons for lethargy which can be a symptom of something else going on either husbandry (enviromental), diet, or physical. Need a referral to herp vet? Below is a link to ARAV (addresses not phone numbers may need directory assistance)...there's several other reptile vet links and one which "regulars" here post of their favorite; personal reptile vets. Just let us know! Other questions that may be helpful in helping you is....How long have you had her? When is the last time she was examined by a vet? Fecal analysis done? What kind of uvb (artifical or natural) exposure is your ig getting?....What does daily diet consist of? What are the temps reading? Humidity levels? Is your ig dehydrated? Does she drink water? Do you give her baths, spray her food with water? Mist her down? Anyhoo...let us know...there is tons of info from experienced iguana owners here that will help ya out anyway we can!
