    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

ive noticed that this past week my green iguana has turned a dark grayish color on his back and his back only. this was during his shedding, but stayed afterwards. i know hes done shedding, but could it be dead skin maybe? it wont peel off, maybe its some disease? please email me at [email protected]
 
Hold on, I am going to assume the Lotus position and fixate all my brainwaves on viewing the iguana... ahhh yes.. I see it now.....

DUDE, POST PICS IF YOU SEEK HELP!
 
Yeah, I highly recommend pics... unfortunately everyone had there Psychic friends network card revoked when the government cracked down on the whole psychic thing. It's extremely hard to guesstimate at at it's health without seeing it and making an educated guess based upon pics is still just that, a guess without the stats of the iguana such as age, diet, temps, living space etc. Please include everything you possibly can or our ability to help is limited.
 
If a camera isn't an option take it to a vet, they can diagnose it for you. If you don't want to pay for a vet I'd highly suggest borrowing a camera.
 
Miss Cleo told me that the chances of seeing pics from you are slim to none. And that she also sees you ignoring the problem by not going to a vet........

Say it ain't so, Miss Cleo!!!!
 
Me thinks the poor lizard will left to it's own devices in this case baby!!!!

LMAO :rofl: :rofl: wow just. . . .wow :rofl:
 
Hmmm.... I really do not see this type of behavior being helpful to someone seeking assistance. Really makes those looking for help feel welcome and right at home no?

-sigh-

Anyways, yes without a photo or detailed description there is little we can assist you with. Please do your very best to describe your iguanas current condition the best you can, even surf the web for photos that may resemble the issue. I'll do my best to help you.

Good luck.
 
See Chris, I am not the only sarcastic breeder in AZ!

Ridethesky, Hope you know we (or at least I) was just messin with yah!
 
I know buddy....

Most of the members who have been around a while are used to it but I try to refrain from doing it to new visitors. Trust me, I'm one of the first to joke around just the same. With the new visitors who may not know we're joking it can essentially scare them away from a VERY valuable resource in this hobby. Fauna is a great asset when keepers and breeders alike need a place to come for information or to simply do some research on a potential purchase. The last thing you want to do is make them feel unwelcome.... Not to mention when greeting a new users inquiry with such comments it does not portray an accurate image. just my .02, wasn't meant as anything more than that :)

I simply asked for a photo.... Considering it was a new user I outright knew that they may not realise our help is limited unless we can actually SEE the issue he described. Had it been someone who has been a member for a while and should have known better, you can bet I would have been poking a bit of fun myself :)

Didn't mean to offend any of you guys, you may now resume your psychic readings...... lol
 
my iguana iggity

its a funny thing really. the dark spot on his back was just dead skin. the reason why i didnt understand it was because he shed well over a week ago, and left that behind. hes all fine now. seems strange that the day i buy a digital camera is the day its use is no longer needed. but i can still post pics of him. thanks for the concern. i have one other question now though, if anyone would like to help. my iguana is about 4 feet long, and i adopted him from a family that kept him in a 40 gallon tank. now hes in a 75 gallon, still not good enough for his size. im in the process of trying to find a much larger cage for him, if anyone is selling one please email me. i was wondering if my 150 watt basking spot bulb that provides only uva rays is suitable for him in there. it stays about 14 inches away from him at all times, and about 6 inches away when hes on his perch. any comments would be appreciated. please email me at [email protected]

nevermind, i reread the post and that should be pretty good for him, but try to get him exposed to natural sunlight at least once a week.

UVA only is not going to be good enough, the Iggy needs UVB as well. I recommend a reptisun 5.0 or 10.0 (10.0 preferred).

Miss Cleo would also recommend the 10.0 but at the previously stated charges listed above. Just trust me and take my free advice, I'd hate to see you waste $2k having Miss Cleo tell you the same thing from a tarot deck..... :hehe:
