CALICUM!!! HE NEEDS CALICUM REALLY BAD!!!!!!!!!! If he doesn't get it soon he'll die!!! My friend has a 6 foot male & when he was a baby his mouth got sick & it was because of not having enough Calicum, The vet told us several this that happen to them & a bent spine was one of them. 99% of iguana's need extra Calcium, u can buy it at a pet store, crush egg shells into a powder & add it to his food. He needs a tank twice his length. Homemade cages r the way to go, its cheaper & it'll be the proper size. & heat rocks r known to kill them, its best to wrap the heat rock in a blanket so only a little heat is felt, or keep the blanket on the rock & only turn it on a few times a day for a half an hour. My friends iguana lives in his parents bedroom, they turned an old dresser into a basking shelf & a bedtime shelf. During the day, the put the ramp up to the shelf, leading to the bed & he'll go from his shelf to the bed to the floor down the stairs & into the livingroom, into the kitchen & into the tv room. iguana's need plenty of room. & they change their diets alot aswell. He'll need veggies & meat as in cat food or bugs (grasshoppers need to have their hind legs removed).
Ask for more info, I can get it.
& call the local vet.
