my ig is at the vet right now, and is staying there overnight. before i brought him there, i gave him a peice of watermelon to keep him hidrated. the peice was a little bit bigger than his head. he ate the whole thing. after he ate it, he walked around a little and kept his eyes open for a few minutes.

here are the answers to your questions Baby Herp:

:What are the temps of his tank?

he is a free-roamer, and stays in my porch/outdoor kitchen. during the day the temperatures are around 85'F, and at night they are around 75'F

:What types of foods are you feeding him?

mustard greens, collard greens, dandelions, green beans, alfalfa pellots, sweet potatoes, carrots and lots of other things
for treats i give him apples plums, stawberries, grapes, bannanas, hibiscus flowers, and a few other things. i don't feed him as many fuits as i do vegetables/leafy greens.

:What type of uvb exposure is he getting?

during the day i open some of the windows, and he gets sunlight.

:Calcium supplementation?

i give rep-cal a few times a week. it does not contain phosporus.

:How much do YOU know about the care and feeding of green iguana?

i am not an expert, but i have read a LOT about it. i got at least 70 pages from the internet, and i read Melissa Kaplan's book "Iguanas for dummies" i feed him a salad with a variety of foods every day.

i will keep ya'll updated with his condition if
ya'll want?

i also want to thank everybody for their info.
