Iguanas can take awhile to settle in, and might not eat much during that time. Still, you need to get UV lights for your ig. A ReptiSun or IguanaLight 8.0 is a good source of UVA and UVB light. UVA stimulates appetite, while UVB is essential for calcium absorbtion. After that, I'm sure your little iglet will start eating.
Your temperatures sound okay, but I should warn you she's going to outgrow that 55 gallon tank very quickly! My other suggestion is that you include a variety of greens along with the collards, such as mustard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, escarole, endive, etc. Their diet should be about 70-80% greens, and variety is key for their health and happiness. (Wouldn't you get bored if you had the same thing every day?)

:I am feeding her or attempting to feed her collard greens, cucumber, green pepper and a small ammount of fruit such as pears and peaches. She is in a 55 gallon tank with a 150 watt heat and light bulb and one of those night bulbs. The basking spot is 95 degress and the ambient air temp is 83 degrees. For humidity i mist her and the cage twice daily. I am using reptile carpet as a substrate. She has a small pool, a hollowed out hide log, a big tree thing, fake ivy vines hanging with sucon cups and two sock which she lays on sometimes and seems to enjoy. I don't know maybe she is eating while i am not looking, but it doesn't seem that way. Help. thanks, Jen
