I doubt its a calcium deficency, I feed him various greens (Collards, Mustard, Bok Choy, Napa, etc) as well as things like papaya, mango, bell peppers, bananas, etc.. (not all the fruits at every feeding)
I usually feed at least 4 different leafy greens (listed above) and two or three fruits, and dust the fruits with Rep-Cal, Herptivite and Mazuri Iguana Mash. I don't dust everyday, there are one or two nights a
week that I just give them the salad. I've had bloodwork done on one of my Igs, and the calcium levels were good. So I don't think the tail wagging is related to calcium. He doesn't do it all the time, and it just
seems to be when I first get him out. I know he's eating well. He runs over to the food bowl everyday and has never had a problem eating. His balance is good, and he is active. I'll look more into this, and see if
I can find anything out.
Thanks again to everyone who responded!
