thrasher1337 Jan 21, 2009 10:22 AM

sorry for the odd topic name, heres something I am running into with my iggy, up untill 4 months ago, my 3 year old iggy been eatting like crazy, always finish every pieces of green or anything in her bowl. but since winter time, the temps have dropped and its getting 63 degree in my room at night and back up to 80 during the day and under the light its 90 at least, and I use full UV vapor lamb. Anywho, I was just wondering if iggys are like that, she did the same thing last year for not eatting good during the winter time, but not for this long tho. Shes somewhat skinnier and her back fins are all down like shes 80 years old or something. She still eat some but not enough it seems, and shes alway active and looking for way out, climbing up and down, and I soik him everymorning with warm water and she seems to like it, should I increase the temps even at night to 80? shes around 4 feet head to tail, and living in a 2 feet x 4 feet and 5 feet high cage.

"SWITCHING GEAR HERE"

My rino iggy is fat and been eatting good no matter wut, hes super heathly and tame, but recently I found this one odd looking bump on his leg, its around i/3 an inch, I am pretty sure it some sorta blister, cuz it soft and i could see through it under a light, hes around 2 feet long, hes been eatting with D3 and everything, and he did not get burned since I don't have the light in the cage with him and theers no way he could touch the light, hes acting normal and eatting like a little pig...

any help would be awesome.

I am new to iguanas but I know with other reptiles it is a good chance the iggy is trying to find a way out because the temps are not good so i might bump them up.
