She is great when u get her out of her cage but taking her out is the problem. She also does not like to eat if her food is dusted. She has a few more problems but i love her and would like to discuss more with u if thats ok.
I also own a ball python(voodoo) and a bearded dragon(puff)
thanks for any help u can give.

Heat rock is a no no! It can burn them. You should have a clamp lamp with a inferred light bulb and a undertank heater.
This is aome of their diet:No ROMAINE it gives iguanas diarrhea. This is what iguanas should be fed: Dark Leafy Greens such as collard, mustard, turnip greens, dandelion leaves, occassional spinach, kale, swiss chard and endive leaves. Vegetables: broccoli, green beans, carrots, snow peas, sugar peas, sweet potato, and butternut squash. Fruit: strawberries, blueberries, rasberries, mango, banana, peaches, apple, nectarines, and grapes.
If she won't eat the food dusted then look into vitamin and calcium spray.
Let me know if you need any help!
