Here's a link to great ig site. I would recommend that you get a book, Iguanas For Dummies, by Melissa Kaplan, or visit her site at www.anapsid.org for some fantastic ig info. http://www.greenigsociety.org/quicktips.htm _________________ Laura R (FL) 0.1.0 Colombian Tegu 0.2.0 Argentine B&W Tegu 1.0.0 Red Tegu 1.0.0 Green Amevia (yet another teiid) 8 other lizards 1 little gator 13 snakes 4 frogs some bugs and a partridge in a pear tree Back to top greentriple Respected Member Joined: Oct 12, 2007 Posts: 519 Location: San Diego, CA Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:15 am    Post subject: I could be wrong, but it looks as if your ig has a considerable underbite. If so that is of more concern and may have to do with inadequate temps and calcium/UVB. _________________ 1.0.0 B&W 0.0.1 CA Horned Lizard 0.0.1 Savannah Monitors 2.0.0 Cats 0.1.0 Wife 1.0.0 Child Back to top laurarfl Respected Member Joined: Oct 03, 2006 Posts: 561 Location: Central FL Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:20 am    Post subject: I was wondering about that, too.
