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.

very freaked out green iggy
i just bought a new green iggy from a local store i researched for awhile after i had a bad experience with my last sick iggy. So for this one seems healthy she is about 4 to 5 mths old but deffently a big girl at just under 2 feet. She lives in a custom enclousure 7ft tall 4 ft wide 3 ft deep with lots of trees vines and her basking area is at about 6ft above ground level with a average temp of 92 the humidiy is anywhere from 95% to 100% and a 25.0 uvb bulb. but ive only seen her eat once and that deff wasnt a stomach full. She is intorduced to all basic greens no lettuce of anykind, carrot shavings strawberries and bannanas for a lil bit of color. She was a beautiful neon green when i got her but now she sometime is a kinda dark almost brown. She is very very sketchy coming out of her cage but once shes out shes goes on my basking rack i made her in front of the window and loves it im just worried why her appetite is very bleak and the inital cage "grab" (i take my time to get her out prob 5 minutes of very slow movement) ive had her for about a week now any posts would be thnx first time post great and helpful site

Hi Matt,
What has the pet store been feeding her? How long did the pet store have her? You can reduce stress by not handling her too much and leaving her alone.
Is there a t.v. or a radio near her cage? Noise can stress them out.
Maybe you could also take a fecal sample in to the vet to get checked. Having a high parasite load will also cause stress and decrease appetite. Fecal exams usually only cost about $20-$30. It is well worth the investment.

your iguana is prolly just stressed out. I would recommend leaving her alone for a couple of weeks, only messing with her to clean and feed. When stressed iguanas will turn dark and wont eat. I would also advise you to lower the humidity down to about 40-60. 95-100 is way too high, you are just asking for mold and respiratory infections.

Hi,
I am totally agree with previous comment. Look one time more if your iguana's habitat enough comfortable or not. Finally, meet your vet.

Just wondering...if the average temp is 92 is there anywhere in the cage with a lower temp? Basking area should be hot but not the entire cage.Sounds like a nice big cage though.

When I get in rescue igs, they bask at 100+, but I also make sure that the rest of the enclosure is in the 75-80 range. Then they do really well at 60-70% humidity, not 100. That does seem high for a green ig.
