Ok, heres the story. I used to work at the local humane society, and while working there found out they had an iguana that had been there for 6 months and had not found a home, it was found in a parking lot. I went back and they had been keeping this 5 foot iguana in a 55 gallon tank, with no uvb, and not hot enough temps, however he was at a good weight. I decided that he had been there that long that I would take him home and foster him, well we built him a huge cage, got a uvb light for him, and good enough heat. He eats great, drinks and is very active all the time. I feed him mustard greens, collard greens, mango, watercress, sweet potato and other stuff. Ive had him now for about 6 months in my house and just recently in the last month or so, he has started losing weight and looks really skinny compared to a month ago, however like I said he still eats fine, goes to the bathroom and is very active. What can I do? Does he need to see a vet, or is there something else that can be done? Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give!
Thanks!
