There are way too many diets out there. Some help or advice would be much appreciated.

I was asked if I would take a 4' iguana that was taken to a fire station. I couldn't say no, so now he's in my care. I'm not use to vegetarians. I keep monitors and snakes. I've been doing research and found way too many diets: MK salad, Iguana den diet, etc.

He is not eating all that well, just a few nibbles and he appears to have darken skin over his head.

His temps are good and I've begun to soak him in a shallow tub of water once a day for about 15 minutes just in case he is dehydrated. I know most monitors that are in bad shape are due to dehydration, incorrect temps, poor diet.

I'll post some pics tomorrow.
