underweight?

Posted by Kally on June 15, 2002 at 01:32:03:

Hi, it's me again...lol.
How do you know if an iguana is too skinny? I can feel his ribs...but I can't see them, but he looks much thinner than a lot of the pics of your iguanas I see here. I never see him drinking water, but it is available at all times and I do mist him and give him a tubby; but I still never see him drink. Should I add water to his salad?
He only eats about 3/4 - 1 cup of salad a day, but always leaves a little.
Also after his shed I noticed that he has a lot more orange on him than before...is that okay that he changed colour or is he lacking something? I've checked his 'tooties' and I don't see any sign of worms, would iguana worms be visible in his tooties?
I've only had him for about a week and I will post a picture soon to show you what he looks like.
Thank you again everyone for contributing to an excellent site for gaining iguana knowledge from personal experience.

    • It would help to know his size and age. From the sounds of it he could have JNelson 06/15/02 (0)
