In Reply to: Friends sick iguana need help posted by stephiesoo on February 21, 2003 at 11:51:45:
I can't tell much from the pic, but he does look a little thin in the legs. How often is he being fed? Does he use a calcium supplement? The basking area sounds a little warm to me. Does he have someplace to go in the shade? Also, i only feed fresh greens (mustard and collards)and fresh veggies cut up small enough to eat for a little one like this. Is there water always readily available. How's the humidity? Does he have climbing room? I would definitely get him to a vet if he's never been. One rule of thumb when getting a new animal of any kind is to get a wellnes check-up as soon as you get them! Especially if you have other animals that may be exposed to illness/disease.
Check out Melissa Kaplan's site for tons of info on igs. Good Luck!
:I have a friend who owns an iguana. He has had the iguana since September. It was around two to three months old when he got it. The iguana is now only 14 inches long from nost to tip of tail. My iguanas weren't this small!! He keeps in in a cage with one UVB bulb and one full spectrum bulb. He has a basking spot which reaches around 100F. The cage stays around 85F. He feeds it fresh parsley, canned mustard, collard and turnip greens, butternut and acorn squash, green beans and occiasionally apples. I don't know as much about this size animals can you tell me if it seems really small or sickly to you like it seems to me. I haven't been able to talk him into seeing a vet yet. Maybe if I get several peoples opinions I can get him to take it to the vet!!
