Does anyone know much about Iguanas?

[SenoritaSarah]

Thank you all for the advice and help, but unfortunately there wasnt much that could be done. She died this past week while I was out of town and my mom was watching after her. It was my welcoming home...I went to check on her and she was just lying there, dark brown and lifeless. I am making my family have a funeral for her. We are burying her in front of the tree she climbed up when she got loose when we first moved to the house. I am mainly bummed about how much time I have spent for the past couple months trying to get her well, and then I leave for a week and I find her dead.

Once again thank you all for all the support

I would get her to the vet! she looks like she might has Metobolic bone disorder or liver problems. (orange scales are sometimes an indicator of somethign wronge with the liver or kidneys.) This is due to low calcuim absorbtion and dehydration(which may not be something that you are doing dilbrately but may be due to someing wronge internaly with your baby). Sticky Tounge farms Minral O and Herptivite are great calcuim supliments most of these suplments canot be digested with out a UVB sun bulb or direct sun light. If she were my baby I would soak her in warm(not hot) water for 30min -hour I have notcied that soaking a lizard incouages digestive functions and increases apotite. Getting her some real sun would do her good in my oppion. I would avoid foods like carrots, iceburg letuse and spinish. Feed foods that are high in calcuim such as: green beans, collard greens, and yellow squash. I lost my iguna (about the same age) who looked to have a simlar condition as yours to Liver problems when I was 14 years old. If you have an exotic vet in your area I would get her there soon. From what I was told Green Igunas sould always be green. I now have bearded dragons, Leopard geckos, Panther and veiled chameleons and hoeping one day to replace my dear Green Igana Regina. From what I can tell regular sun light and soaking has made wonderful changes in my reptials health.

I hope this helps and good luck to both of you,
