Ok, dont yell at me for this but i used to have mulch. I just changed it from mulch to outdoor carpet. Now tiny has turned into a monster not pooping in water (he pooped in her cage, firstimei n about 2 weeks) and wont let me get near him without him broading me. is this just from being stressed or sumthing i dont yet know about?

The not pooping in the water is because of the change in the habitat. and being a monster is just your igg being its self i wouldnt worry about it.

The attitude change may be stress related. when anything changes in an igs cage or environment then they get stressed to a degree. The degree in which it is stressed depends on the iguana. When my igs get stressed they turn dark and get agressive. If it continues I would take him in for a vet exam because he may be in pain and reacting with violence because he doesnt want to be messe with because he is hurting.
