Whaaa??? That sounds like vet time...Try HerpVet Connection and maybe even ARAV for a vet close to you. Was this 'blood' in feces or urates or liquid pee? I typing out loud in case I didn't hear you right. Blood in pee. Jeez..sure it wasn't discoloration from food she ate? watermelon? strawberries? tomatoes? like that.
Huh...she may have some internal bleeding (what's her movement like?) or salmonella outbreak. Do try and get her to a vet. You may want to wait till another bowel movement...and see if this persists maybe it was just food coloring.
Ditch the romaine...ok to get some water in her but not that great nutrient wise. You got your work cut out for you...don't sweat the small stuff...missing tail (hopefully not to bad whereas it won't grow back),missing toenail (it'll grow back at a snails pace if the toe itself is not damaged). Color...green iguanas come in all shapes, sizes and colors...the brown could be from stress and improper temps. Make sure you give her lots of humidity...sounds like everything else is OK! Wow is she lucky to have you or what?
