: :Hi Barry,

: As long as this unfortunate animal isn't seriously emaciated, I wouldn't worry too much about feeding until there is some considerable improvement with the mouth problem. At that time, he will probably start eating on his own. I would definatly confine him in clean quarters under a UV light, with maybe a little supervised basking each day. I would give him a warm soak each day to keep him hydrated and get him used to handling.

: If the mouth mess looks like it won't respond quickly, a trip to the vet is called for.

: Welcome to the wonderful world of Iguana Re-hab.

: luck,

: filthy

I really thank you all for the advise as I am a total newcommer with Iguana's have experience with other herps, not thses guy's. I also would like to know whats a good temterature gradient, understand nothing to high, but how low should I allow it to get.
