Okay, nate and I usually make our daily rounds of the pet stores in our area in order to keep on their back about improving the conditions they keep the turtles in. Well this weekend we stopped into a pet store that we don't go to normally (they had an alligator in there and we wanted to see if it was still there). I saw they had three iguanas for sale, and upon closer inspection, one was so thin that it's skin was all sunken. The other looked similar, but it was actually dead. The third was a bit better but not much. I let the lady know one was dead, and she told me that they were in this conditions when they came in. I wish I knew enough about igs to have told her some tips to help them out, but I'm new at this. I don't know much about iguana illnesses, so I couldn't tell her if there was anything seriously wrong with these guys. Do you guys think they just needed to be fed lots, or could there have been other serious problems. Next time I go in their, I'd like to be armed with some information to help the little guys out.
Thanks for any information.
