We have had an iguana for about two months. He was a baby from a pet store when we bought him. We have read a great deal and think we have correct heating, lighting, humidity, etc.
The iguana has brown patches on his nose and the top of his head and a bit on the back of his neck. I do not know if they are getting browner or not, but I am noticing/worrying more. They are not crusty or infected. They look just like his other scales, but are brown.
We took him to a vet last week, for a check-up, and the vet said his color was beautiful. But I am paranoid enough to wonder, knowing this vet is not a harp specialist.
Our iguana eats and poops every day. I do not notice that he drinks, though we have a fairly large bowl of fresh water in his cage. He seems to enjoy being handled and has a good level of activity. He does not act sick in any way. What do you think?
