Since we moved from Malaysia to India (what happened the 12th September) TREX my 5 years old male iguana stopped displaying his beautiful red color he used to display for years, since he reached sexual maturity. I dont know whether this is a sign of distress or because he feels he lost his "territory".Now he is just green.Any comments?

ok well i am no iguana expert and am not here to give advice cuz i none to give but just wanna say that when he was red he was FUC*ING AMAZING.wow that is sooo beautiful and i think green is a good sign i don't knwo i just do know they change somewhat colour for their moods and if mine went form that red to a green i would be concerned.best of luck to you and your iggy.

god

Thanks! I do miss his gorgeous red color too.I do hope he will become red again one day!

Hey Flavia, I wouldn´t be concerned about it... If he is green, he should be fine. You know how igs are about "moving". I agree with you, I think he is feeling like he has lost his territory. But he´s green right??? The problem would be if he had turned yellow, or dark brown.. Just give him some time to figure out where he is.. Good luck with him.. Did he get better???
Take care,
Later,

Thanks Daniel.Yes, he is ok again, fully recovered.Last week end he lost another nail! The 7th one!Now he only has 13 nails left! I dont know how he manage to lose so many claws!It bled a lot but nothing compared to the day he lost 5 at the same time!

Thanks for your message! And how are your babies doing?

That is a great photo! He is sure handsome looking!
