    Help. I am petting a baby iguana for 2 weeks now. Was it really a baby green iguana.?

    Two weeks earlier, my dad brought home a green iguana that he caught near my auntie's backyard. I reallly have interests with owning one and was really excited when I saw it. I think it was still a baby iguana because it's still small maybe 1 and a half feet (including tail)

    I tried to give it okras but the iguana won't eat it. So I tried to give it rice, and that's what it eats now. I tried to give him some other greens the other day but it won't even take a bite.

    He's always green and turns greener whenever I pour water on him (was it a good idea lol). I never held it on my hands yet because I'm afraid it would jump and run away. I would just touch it sometimes.

    I put him on a 2 by 1 feet wide and 2 feet high aquarium which has a branch and stones and sands. I also put a bowl for it to drink and soak.

    Its tails are turning brown. I would like to help it shed his tails because I've read that old intact shedded skins are bad for iguanas.

    Right now, it only eats cooked rice. I don't know how to make him healthy. I want a happy and healthy iguana. How can i do it?
