Color Problem

Posted by Ian on February 23, 2002 at 08:38:08:

My igauna, is a rescue Ive had him since labor day. His body and head are colored very well, but his tail is ropy and brown and the base of his tail is almost white. His feet are a pale green. He lives in my bathroom with lots of room because hes only around 33 or so inches, and hes really nice. He eats Collards, Escarole, Endive, Green Beans, Butternut Squash, and a tiny bit of cantaloupe, all blended up into blobs sprinkled with calcium. I know he doesnt have MBD because he doesnt have any of the signs. I use a uvheat bulb which hes under a good part of the day, and his color has really darkened in his face, its much more green. But his feet and base of tail are still very pale, and his tail is ropy and brown looking. What can i do to get his color back? Thanks.
