: I rescued an iguana about 6 months ago. She has her own room with a basking spot in the window. During the summer I was leaving the window open for her to bask, but now that it's a bit colder I only open it on nice days. I know I need to get her a UV lamp. She has a heat lamp. She's about 2 and 1/2 feet long. My question is this: when I first got her she was eating like a horse but the last week or two she's just nibbled a little bit here and there. She hasn't seemed to have lost any weight. Also she's very restless. She's been breaking out of her room and roaming all over the house. I have to lock the door now. Also she seems to be digging around the carpet alot. Could she be gravid this late in the season? Any suggestions would be great thanks!

My ig has days when he's really restless. He is all over the place, over things, under things, down the hall. I found him on the towel rack in the bathroom hanging on the towels, behind the toilet -- anywhere but under his light. He will also dig at the carpet by my daughter's room and rip out some fibers and sit there and wait for her.
