The sick iguana I was babysitting is now mine to keep! MSG

Yay! The owner says he had too many, and it would be nice for Darwin to get some extra TLC permanantly. Now I just have to get him fattened up again. I think the lights you recommended me are helping-I got the ZooMed Iguana Light 5.0. I couldn't find the Active UV locally, but I'll keep looking. I also have had him outside a lot, and he LOVES it. His colour already is starting to look better, and the uncoordinated movements and half-hearted eating has stopped. He is now eating like a pig, but he still lies with his eyes closed more than I'd like. His eyes don't seem to be swelling any more. I have a feeling it was the Repti-Glow bulbs-he had a bum one. Because the other iguanas are fine on the same diet and lights. Or is it just that he is displaying symptoms of calcium deprivation sooner than they are?
