you're in the right place now.....and by the way...forget about listening to your friend about diets.....or your iguana will live a short life with you. And also, it would be a good idea to have your friend visit here too.....we'll steer him right if he really cares about his iguana.
As other people have stated, animal protein is a flat out NO !!! And since you have been feeding him that kind of protein, I would suggest you limit for the next 6 months vegetable protein too. I'd serve maybe once a week, anything veggie that carries any kind of protein level. After a 6 month period you should be able to serve veggie protein on a regular level. If you can swing it and you have a good reptile Vet, I would suggest having blood work done. This will let you know the levels and if there's anything that might be going on inside your iguana. Have the Vet go over the lab results with you and ask as many questions as you can.
