THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE THING ON HIS LIP. DOES IT LOOK LIKE ANYTHING SERIOUS? I AM PLANNING ON GOING TO THE VET TO SEE IF HE HAS PARASITES, TOO, JUST IN CASE.

HERES THE LITTLE MAN’S TANK. I HAD TO MOVE HIS CANOPY LIGHT FIXURE TO THE LEFT SO YOU COULD SEE THE WHOLE THING. THAT’S HARRY IN THE TOP RIGHT.

I KNOW THAT HE MAY LOOK A LITTLE SKINNY. BUT HE HAS ACTUALLY FATTENED UP SINCE I GOT HIM FROM PETLAND ON JUNE 13. ALSO, HE ATE TODAY AND BASKED A LOT! HE SEEMED TO LIKE THE RED PEPPER I GAVE HIM AND ONCE AGAIN, LOVED THE JUVENILLE IGUANA FOOD. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO GET HIM OFF OF THESE PELLETS. THE ONLY WAY HE WILL EAT ANYTHING AT ALL IS IF I SPRINKLE SOME OF THIS OVER HIS FOOD...

Two things you might consider, first, answer the questions of "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING", that would answer a few of my questions, and second, rock holds heat where wood doesn’t. You need a rock basking area to get your temps up to the range you need them.. Wood will dissapate the heat. Two pavers and a piece of natural slate, all from Home Depot (etc), and costing about $2.50, would work great!!

I agree with Sahells Mom, you really need a proper basking spot for him . Slate and some bricks would work a hundred times better them wood. Also , nice looking enclosure !! I will stop warning you after this and hope to never say "I told you so " but if you dont have a lid, he will eventually escape.

Its not his tongue is it? It kinda looks like when a dog sticks his tongue out. Have you touched it?

Is it part of him or is it a piece of food (iguana pellet?) stuck to his mouth? I can’t really tell if it’s a growth from the picture.

I also thought it was his tongue. Looks like he is begging.

No, it’s definately not his tongue. I tried getting it off with a small wet cloth, but only the edges would lift. I don’t want to hurt him.

Also, he does have a rock. Can’t you tell from the first picture? It’s a piece of slate I found in the woods (don’t worry, I cleaned it VERY well). He always basks on it. He also sometimes basks on his large wood (the reddish one). I put it nearer to the lights. He also likes basking on his small drift woods. But yes, that IS a rock.

Although it does look like a tongue, if you say it isn’t then it might be some sort of ulcer. I would take him to the vet to make sure.

BTW, beautiful set-up you have for him!
