well, would an iguana that is being dominated still bask right next to the iguana that is supposdely dominating?? the two iguanas APPEAR to get along fine, and when the bite happened it was only because the two iguanas, who were eating out of the same bowl, went for the same piece of collared green...loki did not show any aggression and after the bite happened they went back to eating out of the same bowl...
we'll try feeding them out of separate bowls and see if the makes a difference, but i don't believe the stess is a result of that...whenever the two iguanas are out and you separate them, they will just return to each other and bask together...they've shared the same enclosure, food bowl, and everything for like 5 months now without incident and jericho was thriving and looked excellent up until about 3 days ago...
i will try what you guys say because i trust your opinions on it, but i'm afraid it may be something else...after all it is hard to properly diagnose a problem from words typed on a computer screen.
thank you,
