That iguana is not in bad shape.Although its skin is not very bright it looks ok..Is it eating???
About substrate...Only newspaper, because iguanas can eat the substrate and die.Yo can put substrate ONLY if you put a grill separating your ig's tongue from it.Look at the photo of my shedding Godzilla below.
The diet consists on dark green leaves mainly collards and water cress( except broccoli and spinash) and fruits like strawberries and mangos and water melon, but fruits must be only 10% of the diet.They eat also roots like shreded sweet potatos, turnip, eggplant, beet root, etc... You can give also, if he likes, once or twice a week, as treats, some rice and bread.
Careful with the temperature.Must be from 85 to 95(basking area) and dont forget iguanas need sun.
