What kind of lighting are you using? Brand and size does it produce UVB/UVA rays?
What are your basking, ambient, and cool side temps?
What size tank is he in?
The tank in the pic is that the one he is currently housed in? If so remove the bark and use either newspaper, butcher paper or paper towels.
You will need a digital temp gauge as they are more accurate also a gauge for humidity.
What foods are you feeding?

feeding banana and lettuce and carrots
i will take out the bedding tomorrow
The light is ZOO MED Daylight Blue 150 Watt and it provides UVA Rays
Hot side is at 90-95 and clod side is at about 75
He is in a 20G tank and i am going to built a custom tank this weekend
And i will go get a Digital Temp Gauge this weekend

Your diet is no good here is a link that will take you to a list of foods www.greenigsociety.org/foodchart.htm

You need at least a 50 gallon but I would go bigger so you don't have to upgrade several times over the course of your Igs life.

Your lighting doesn't not provide the much needed UVB rays. I use www.reptileuv.com/megaray-sb-100-watt-self-ballasted-flood-uvb-lamp.php
Read some of the info on the site www.reptileuv.com/
You can also use a Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 High Output UVB Bulb make sure it is as long or longer than your Iguana, however the megarays in the other link are the best out there.
