i guess maybe some could stop eating it worrie's me cause the other one is eating like a pig i cant give her enough food she is also the one turning brown

Some igs have browns in their color as they get older. Color can be a sign of not getting enough UV light/unfiltered sunlight too. If your ig is getting UV and eating calcium rich veggies AND is not sick, then it may just be natural coloration (especially if she is reaching maturity). If the ig has a clean bill of health, just keep pushing the veggies. I hear some slow down eating during the winter. Sleestack didn't eat a whole lot today, but he normally eats twice per day. Good luck.

: : i tried to mix trat with food and no luck he only eats every two days but he seems pretty fat for his size. and do they turn brown b4 they shed during the shedding or not at all my one iguana is getting a brown tint on her legs and upper body im worried! thank you in advance
