If you're referring to 10:00pm, I would say you're keeping your iguana up much too late, especially since it's winter time. Lights go out at our house at Sunset or alittle after, but no later than 6:00pm right now. As spring rolls around, we will increase the lighting to match the natural daylight hours.

Lights come on in the morning around 6:00am too at which time they all get fed, other than HARRY, who get's fed by me before he warms up!!
Bathroom times vary from iguana, we have some that go in the afternoon, others, like O'Malley who wakes up at around 4:45am to climb down and do his business, then goes back to sleep for another hour. Harry is .....well....he never goes just once....1 time in the am and 1 time in the pm. Jake, I'm not sure about her, she does it sometime during the day. Scheludes are nice, but sometimes they are not set in stone. It all depends on if your iguana doesn't like going to the bathroom in it's cage, if it doesn't chances are it will wait til you take the iguana to the bathroom. But note this, you must have a SET time every day, so your iguana can get use to knowing that at say.....5:00pm it has a bath. So everyday at 5:00pm not once in a while.....you have to keep up on this.
Best of luck
