    hi, this is my juvi igguana called ziggy (after ziggy marley ;) ) when i got him he had a short tail due to unknown reasons. anyway it's started to grow back (i think!) and has sprouted a sort of black triangle from the end. is this whats suosed to happen :?: i'm sure he's healthy because he eats like a pig and acts like a monkey :!:

    heres some pictures of him and his tail:

    What you've got there seems perfectly normal. At some point, somehow, your little iggy got his tail broken off, or he "dropped it" intentionally to get away from a predator (or goofy attendant at Petco). It will grow back and usually be as good as new, although they often do not look as "attractive" as the original may have been. But he won't know, so don't make him feel self-concious about it. Just tell him he's beautiful...
