>> Here's his setup:
- foot long, 5' high, 2.5' wide
- uv, and 2 spotlights
-always water, and food nearly everyday<<

you have an adult iguana who's possibly 5' long in a cage that small??? his svl (his *body*) is probably longer than the smallest dimension of his cage ... not to mention that 96 degrees is getting on the uncomfortably warm side to have the entire cage set at ... AND you don't even feed him everyday????

i don't care if he's had this same enclosure for years and has *seemed* happy in it ~ it sounds more like a coffin than an enclosure for an animal you care about ... and IMHO, he is angry + depressed for a darned good reason ...

just my 2 cents ...
