I stopped looking for him for tonight.It is dark and I can't see out there anymore.I hope I can find him tomorrow.I went back to the prior post to reread the suggestions on how to find him and where to look.I read the post by Hakan and realized my description of what happened was very unclear.I will try and explain what I ment and what happened. Iggie was a very good eater.He was fed twice daily.......romaine lettuce.carrot.fruit.spinish. I had him housed in a 4 by 4 feet,5 feet high terrarium.He had a heat lamp and a uv light. I had his calcium spray and vita lite.I didn't know this wasn't any good.He would always come running for his food.This was what I ment when I said he was a good eater.It was only the last two weeks that he didn't eat.When I said he was very aggressive,aggressive he was.He hated to be handled but once he was in my hand I would rub his head and he would close his eyes and settle down.He seemed to become more aggressive after he took sick.He was weak,very weak but strong enough to come chargeing at me everytimeI opened the cage.He would hang downwords and not try to get back up.He spent most of his time on bottom of cage but he could still climb the screen to the top.You are right.I did not have enough knowledge on Iguanas to try and keep one.I know this better than anyone else,believe me.If I could change any of this I would but I can't.I can promise no other Iguana will ever die because of me.I can do that much.If loving him ment anything,he would be happy and healthy but it didn't work that way.I know through lack of knowledge I have killed him.I have to live with that.I hope you can understand my post a little better now.If anyone has an idea of what was wrong with him please lrt me know.If it wasn't MBD what could it have been?..........Thanks to everyone
