Chris,

Many iguanas have stripes, it's natural. Some have blotches of browns mixed with a slight hint of black.....some iguanas don't have hardly any markings. Harry's brown/orange with black stripes, Lola is dark green with black stripes and a golden yellow belly, Jack is lime green with marbled brown stripes, Hazel is GREEN with specks of black dots........so you see there is tons of different styled arrangements.....if you have a young iguana....it will most likely NOT look the same once it becomes an adult. Iglets are for the most part flat out green....but as they grow they will develope their adult colors.
I would suggest toning down your basking spot to 95 degrees too......100 is border line and since the rest of the cage is 80 degrees...definitely drop the high end temp, at least 5 degrees.
