There are a few reasons that your iguana may have turned orange. One possibility is that your iguana is suffering from a condition called hypomelanosis, which is a loss of color in the skin. This condition is most common in captive iguanas and is often the result of poor diet or husbandry.

How to tell if your green iguana is healthy and happy?
As your green iguana’s owner, it’s important to know how to tell if your pet is healthy and happy. While iguanas are generally low-maintenance pets, they can still fall ill or become stressed. By knowing the signs of a healthy iguana, you can ensure that your pet is always happy and healthy.
One of the easiest ways to tell if your iguana is healthy is to look at its eyes. Healthy iguanas have clear, bright eyes. If your iguana’s eyes are cloudy or sunken, it may be sick. You should also check your iguana’s nose and mouth to make sure there is no discharge.
Another way to tell if your iguana is healthy is to look at its skin. Healthy iguanas have smooth, dry skin. If your iguana’s skin is dry and flaky, it may be dehydrated. Dehydration can be a serious problem for iguanas, so if you think your iguana is dehydrated, you should take it to the vet immediately.
Iguanas are also known to be good climbers, so if your iguana is not using its claws to climb, it may be sick. Iguanas use their claws to help them climb, so if your iguana is not climbing, it may be a sign that something is wrong.
Finally, you should also pay attention to your iguana’s behavior. Healthy iguanas are active and alert. If your iguana is lethargic or seems depressed, it may be sick. If you notice any changes in your iguana’s behavior, you should take it to the vet to have it checked out.
