Sorry I haven't been around in a while been very busy! Ziggi is doing well, but I have a few questions.
: I think Ziggi is a HE, but....I've noticed lately his food intake has dropped, not sure if this is because of winter or not?
: Temps in the room are maybe a few degrees cooler, but not much. It stays 80-84 during the day, but the humidity has dropped as heating causes things to be a little drier.
: At night it stays around 78, but heat rises so the ground area is probably a couple degrees cooler, but my Ziggi only goes down there to use the bathroom.
: He was eating about 1-2 bowls a day, but now, only one bowl and sometimes does not finish that? Seems like he always wants to come out of his cage, usually when I walk in the room and start doing whatever, after about 5 minutes he comes strolling down to the door
: and wants me to let him out, when I do he roams around the room? After I leave I hear him climbing on the sides jumping around, finally he goes back to his shelf after he figures I'm not gonna let him out. It might just be curiousity, but I guess HE could be a SHE?
: The reason I think its a he, is the pores are pretty big(but this is my only iguana, never seen pores on another(except in pics).
: Also, the base of the tail right behind the vent is very bulgy and thick! Under the bottom its very spongy on either side, like theres jello in there?
: I don't see him digging around anywhere? I increased one of his 3 bulbs, to make his basking site go from 94 to 100 in one area, the other ones are 95 and 97! He lays in all of them. I spray him many more times a day to keep the humidity up more.
: I keep a water bowl up beside his food plate and I haven't noticed any increase in the water missing. Here's the best pic I got of the pores, any ideas?
