In regards to the calcium, TUMS does work great, but as Mr. D. said, can be very toxic. you might wnat to check the UVB rays of your light to make sure that it is still producing the proper rays for the iguana to produce VItamin D3. You can get a meter at Activeheat.com for a few dollars.

We use a supplement by Repti-cal that has calcium and D3, but rarely use it. Collard greens and the ActiveHEAT incandescant bulb has worked wonders. We do use a sprinkle of just calcium without the D3 since the light bulb is producing the rays that helpd the IG produce the vitamin. Lots of luck
