Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Skin problems...pls help me asap
I recently bought a juvenile iguana about a month ago... It used to have this brown accumulated thick skin patches all around its body probably from problematic skin shedding... I have been able to remove most of it however the photo attached is how it still looks like...how can I get it back to its original green skin? I give it a water tub bath once a week and mist it a few times a day... It has also eat very little nowadays but it is still very active whenever I handle it.. can anyone explain this? It used to eat a lot more than this.. Any good food I should try? Im feeding it papaya, bok choy(chinese cabbage) and kangkung ( water spinach)... Temperature shouldn't be an issue since I live in the equator and neither should humidity be a problem...Its pretty humid here.

I've never delt with iguana's before, but it really just looks like bad shed to me, there's no sores, so I'd doubt a fungus.. I'd soak him in a bath for a lil while and see if you can't help coax it off...There's stuff called shed ease by zilla, that's suppose to help with shedding also.
Just keep with the baths, and healthy feeding, and it should still shed out as he grows, If it's just from bad sheds, in my opinion...

No, problem, also if he's not eating a whole lot you might want to try adding some different greens into his diet, they love varity.
Here's a site that tells you about all the different things they can eat, personally I use Collard Greens, Dandilion Greens, and Mustard Greens with my dragons.

More he eats, faster he'll grow, wuicker he'll shed that gross stuff off!
Good Luck!
