My juvenile iguana is not at all active, is that normal?

I'm not sure how old she is, the pet store was not entirely accurate in their information, both on feeding and age.

Update:

I was not aware that I was getting an iguana until I had it. She is only active in spurts and refuses to eat the suggested foods.

Here is a site that will knock your socks off. http://www.todaysplanet.com/pg/beta/lizardlover/ He has a page completely devoted to diet.

Henry makes every attempt to return answers. He is the expert's expert. Before you email him develop a checklist:

•Temperature

•Size of Habitat

•How long you've had the iguana

•Suppllements-mineral or vitamins you may be giving him

•Type of light and how long you're leaving lights on

•Humidity and water

•How big the iguana is

•Activities you do with the iguana

Keep the water bowl over your under tank heater. This raises humidity while diminishing the chances for upper respiratory infection.

Research your pet before you buy it. But ges here none the less, so buy a good book and read up. Iguanas aren't really that active. My son had one for five years. It was a hatchling and he grew to three feet. He ended up in a home where he could be housed in an aviary like setting. He's huge!
