recently, over the last couple days my smaller iguana has started to turn brown...it's kind of spotted and mixed in with the green. we have a colombian black & white tegu and a bearded dragon that are relatively new here, but are kept in separate rooms. could just knowing that they are here be causing stress for the smaller iguana? also, how would i tell if a tankmate has turned aggressive, because the smaller one received a tiny bite today during feeding...i think the larger iguana did not do it on purpose, and those two continue to bask together and seem like they get along just fine...i'm just hoping it's just that he is scared of the tegu, and after he realizes that the other lizards will not be allowed near him, everything will be okay...in the meantime, does anybody have any suggestions?? i could be way off in my diagnosis of the problem.

thanks,
jeremy
