Growth rate! Please help!

Posted by Pete on July 10, 2001 at 16:45:10:

Ok I have a Female Green Iguana. I have had her for 4 years now. and well she is not as big as I had hopped she would get. she has been at the 12-15 inch length for about a year now with very little growth in anything but her dorsal spikes. Anyways just recently she discovered my storage box of superworms I keep for my leopard geckos, Before this she woulnt touch live food ever.. She will now eat her weight in super worms if I let her! Not to mention the salad she gets daily! She has bulked up ALOT since then. and she looks healthier than she has in a while... but I was wondering if I increase the protein will she grow more at this point or is she done?

the pic above is about how big she is but is not the pic of my iguana!
