Filthy's right, infrared won't cut it at all. I suggest the ZooMed lights mentioned in the subject line, or, if it's warm enough in your neck of the woods, get him out into actual *sunlight* No light, and I do mean *no light on the face of this earth* is even a quarter as beneficial as real sunlight. It needs to be at least in the 70�F range before he can be taken out for any length of time. Good luck. Keep us posted!
Best,

: Infrared won't cut it except for heat. He needs UV like the Reptisun 0.5, if I have that right. Light is just as importante as food to an Ig.

: How's the mouth coming?

: filthy

: PS Don't smack him. Half measures never work with idiots. Beat hell out of him!

: : I currennty have Iggy under a infared lamp, and he's cooking nicely on top and bottom, and loves every minute, but noticed earlier, now more exaggerated, muscular twitching, in legs, flanks, tail, even see it in neck. I remember reading article about such a disorder, and what it is from and how to fix it, btu forgotten the contents of the article, could someone help me on this, and advise on whether I should smack, the former for all he'd done or allowed to be done to this poor animal.
