Okay, things are getting worse. I've been more conservative and it seems my iguana is losing energy or something. I've tried everything. I changed the bedding to newspaper, given it smaller portions of lettuce and cantaloupe, and tried to give it water. I even put some water in the bath and let him lay in that. Then I tried something smaller for him and he acted like he hated it. The heat source I'm using generates enough heat for him and he has something to climb up to get to it. He's acting lethargic, basically, and I've resorted to misting him often. He's not moving. He's not eating. He's not drinking. It seems he's as good as dead.



Should I take him back to the pet store and ask for another? I don't know what to do...All this is making me feel so horrible. My warranty hasn't ran out yet on him and I know they had others, at least a few in separate cages if it is a parasite.
