 Been living there for 4 years ,, and my other half says Hi and waves one day ,,,grrrrrrrrrr ...LOL..But then asks me if I know anything about reptiles and herpatology was of intrest to me when I was a teen ,, [ my mistake to admit it ]  And then a question about Iguanas comes up and why is her sons lizard so slow ??So I go over to nieghbors house and first it is 72 degrees with A/C running ,, and a red flood lamp bulb for heat >>>> . Gee It is a Tropical Reptile . So after taking this 3 foot beauty from cage and holding it tightly against my chest and under my neck he started to let out sighs ,,, We changed the red bulb out for a household 60 watt bulb into the reflector and covered the cage in towels ,, Closed the A/C vents to the room and Put him on his hammock. After about 2 hours the guy was eating and moving around .... Never let Reptiles drop ambient temperture below 82 ta 85 degrees farhenhiet ( sp )

I know it helped the Iguana and that is most important and now neighbor learned something and I also suggested mealworms for protien and not just cat food ??? I always stuck to lettuce ,, bannanas ,, and what others told me were treats but not overdo ...
