Well, first I have to ask how long you've had the iguana; it's possible that it's still stressed. Also, what are you feeding the iguana? Depending on what it's getting, it may have all the moisture it needs in it's diet. Plus, you may just be missing the iguana going to drink. If it's just a juvenile like you say, then it shouldn't need that large a quantity of water daily. Finally, are you misting the enclosure or anything? If so, the ig may just be drinking the dew.

Hope that helps. If you stay concerned about moisture intake, sliced red grapes on top of greens are usually a great way to get moisture into the diet.
