No, the tail should not be stiff and dark, so she probably needs vet attention. As Harry's Dad says, get bloodwork done at the vet visit. A large part of her daily diet should be greens such as collard, mustard, turnip, dandelion. Don't use kale or spinach. Also, you should use a uvb source (zoomed reptisun 5.0 or zoomed iguana light)which are on at the same timeas the heat light. The heat light draws the iguana to bask, and then the uvb lights provide the necessary radiation. Good luck!
