iguana breeding behavior??

thrasher1337 Feb 11, 2009 01:20 PM

my 3 year old unsexed iguana (I think its a her not sure) has turned orange and bobing its head almost whenever she can..and has not been eatting good for the pass 3 months, but shes active and always trying to get out of the cage, i have a pretty good sized cage for her. I wonder what would get her to eat better again, my room temp is at 75-9 at night and 81-2 during the day and he has a UVB blub and gets to 110 at least , and shes always under it, and I soak her every morning, If this is indeed a normal breeding behavior, how long will it last? i just want herto eat better again..she was always into eatting no matter wut...

Let me know..

Thanks

Is your she in fact a he? Can you post a pic? Does 'it' have waxy secretions coming out of the femoral pores on the hind legs?

My young male is just starting to eat again after his first little breeding season foray. I've heard others say the same, so it should be ending for you as well. I've only had my guy for about a year, so I'm just an ig newbie. I'm sure others can help out more than I can.
