someone give me a year and a half (im guessing) old green iguana and its had MBD...ive been giving him his vitamins and water and lighting and everything to help...hes doing great and has made a big improvement except for his toes are kinda messed up it looks like they were broken and healed wrong...he doesnt really have use of them...my question is will his toes stay liket hat and will MBD stunt his growth at all????...hes 2 feet he would be 2 and a half im figuring but he droped his tail when he was younger...

Bent bone and badly healed broken bone wont improve much, sadly. You can still see some improvement, with good care his bone will harden and his tone will improve.

Yes.

and will MBD stunt his growth at all

Maybe. If his spine escaped injury then he will grow. A period of MBD = a period of malnourishment whether from lack of uvb or lack of good food (lack of UVB = malnourishment because they can't utilize dietary calcium without UVB). But many igs do catch-up growing when they find good caregivers.

You didn't mention any jawline malformation, that's good. His toes are probably broken because he was kept in a wire mesh cage during his time of bone fragility. He broke his toes by climbing the mesh.
