I just recently went through the problem of an iguana not pooping for a long time. It was almost 2 weeks before Greensleeves went! I took her to the vet after the first week, and he suggested just to keep her on the diet of fresh veggies (a lot of greens) and to soak her in the tub in warm water. The vet had said that if the ig hadn't been eating well, she might not go for a while. I guess there are some parasites that can cause a lack of poop too. So if your ig hasn't gone and it has been more than a week, you might want to take him/her to the vet. My vet advised that two weeks was about the maximum to wait. Hope that helps.
