HI Linda I'm glad you found us. As you look forward to posting questions, we look forward to providing answers as best we can. How big is Zippy? I'm assuming you've already read thru the diet and lighting requirements? (very important stuff)

Kudos to you for making the effort. At 22 inches, this ig isn't nearly full grown. Can you tell us exactly what kind of light it is? Many are packaged with very misleading information. Watch for external parasites also...he could have already had them, or there could have been a presence on the tree branch. As MAR stated, the temp needs to increase about 10 degrees during the day. I tend to believe tho that nighttime temps can fall down into the 65-70 degree range without causing any ill effects to the animal. Probably all of the above and as for recuperative lethargia...watch out when he gets to feeling better and decided he no longer wants you in his house. lol Igs don't follow breeding season rules We've seen it reported in here all through the year. There are no stupid questions. That depends on the tone of voice you use. ;D Human head bobs can't possibly look like iguana headbobs (which have several different meanings). I would say just try it, see how he reacts, and if it seems negative simply stop. Welcome to Iguana-Zone

Hi Steven So glad you adopted Boris!! As Merlin said, collards aren't necessary. They just happen to have THE best calcium:phosphorus ratio of 14.5:1 If you go look at the food chart here, webpages.charter.net/tesa64735/Revised2.htmyou'll see that there are many foods you can give Boris and still maintain a really good calcium level in his diet. Welcome to IZ!

Grapes are ok and most igs love them, but since they are a fruit, they should be fed as only a minimal part of the diet. Raisins: I'm sure they'd eat them, but they are a dried fruit. Why give them the fruit without the benefit of the water content?? ;D
