Depressed iguana?

I was wondering, do any of your iguanas ever get depressed? Lately Bobbit looks dark, and seems to look sad and a little bit "down".

I don't know if this warrents a vet visit, since he is eating great, getting summer sun, and is using the bathroom regularly. Nothing seems wrong with his health other than he seems sad lately. Nothing has changed (no new cage, no new iguanas, no new foods, and he and Habib are still getting along very well etc.) so I've ruled out change as being the culprit. I'm now wondering if it's just a natural phase some igs go through?

If you think I should take him to the vet I will, but I don't really know what she could do for him, since he was just checked out (x-rayed, de wormed etc.) in May and she said he was in great health.

I guess I'm just looking to hear if any of your iguanas have acted sad like this then eventually pulled out of it.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
