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.

Does this desert iguana look skinny
Does my desert iguana look skinny? Most others I have seen look a lot more plump than this guy. It is a WC from one of the online stores. I'm just a little concerned with his weight because he was breathing very slowly after arriving and not very alert. I put him under the basking light and he seems to be doing a little better.
Was just curious if anyone a little more experienced with lizards could tell me how it looks. Also wanted to document this in case the lizard has more issues than just recovering from shipping.
Thanks for any insight.

Accidentally posted the blurry picture instead of the clear one.

I believe this Dipsosaurus dorsalis looks underweight. Is this specimen yours? Or, one, you considered purchasing? If, this was one you wanted to purchase, personally, I would not buy it.

Sounds like the OP just purchased it.
I agree, the little guy looks skinny.
Do you know if he was already treated for internal parasites?
I hope he recovers in your care and starts doing better!

Yes it is in my care. Unfortunately another experience already leaving a lot to be desired from a big time online seller. Have yet to have one good experience. Sadly this seller was the only place I could find desert iguanas for sale. It's only been two days, but no interest in eating anything.

get some strong UVB and heat on him. then see if he perks up a bit. he looks dehydrated and might have parasites. what are you feeding? they have a very wide diet. if hes not eating plants try crix or wax worms. I have one that was really bad and after trying all kinds of stuff he finally went for shredded butternut squash.
