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.

Sick? Help!!!
Ok.
I just got an iggy for my birthday. Went out picked him out, *baby its still very small* got the cage 55 Gallon tank *might be 50 not sure* got this 100 watt heat emitter from zoo med. Got a $40 uv light, got the blue heat light for might, and got a humidifier. Ok so i have the cage set up, the eco earth stuff is very moist *is that good or bad* humidity ranges from 60 some times to 90, and heat is always around 80-95. Ok i feed him mustard greens dark leafy greens carrots kiwi ect. Now here is the problem. He sleeps ALL THE TIME when i take him out he sleeps on my hand right away, no matter what happends he just sits where u put him and closes his eyes. You can also see his ribs. *Remember i just got him 2 days ago* And imn ot sure if he is eating, i havent seen him eat at all, and if i put stuff in fron of him to eat he doesnt.oh yea i also have the calcium powder for the food. Now i have read about 10 websites on how to take care of them so i think i know some what on what im doing. Now does any one know if this is natural to be like this when u first get them or is something wrong. Please help me!!!

I would say there is something wrong. I would tend to think it might be parasites. This could cause these symptoms. Also any substrate is a bad idea for iguanas, they are well known for getting impactions. Newspaper or reptile carpet would be a much better choice.

Sounds like it needs to go to a vet. I would make an appointment right away. I would also take the eco-earth out of the cage. Iguanas tend to like to eat things they shouldn't, including bedding. Your best bet is repti-carpet or even newspaper. Nothing they can eat.
