How to handle 3 days without power in the summer?

So our power will be out for 3 days due to a storm. Temp will likely hold in the house from 75°-85°F and it will be overcast pretty much all weekend except for the last day.

I read to not feed until power is restored, but that feels crazy.

Any tips or info? Thank you!

Gender Reveal?

Sooo I decided to check Rex’s bulges with a flash light but had no luck
Then I took a look at his femoral pores and they do look slightly bigger than when he first got here so maybe I’m thinking that he’s a boy after all?
What do you guys think tho?

Is this normal?

First time owner- my juvenile iguana and I are inseperable. He spends most of his time on my head or shoulder.

When he's on my head, and only on my head. he closes his eyes while they grow in size/bulge out while rubbing head against my hair, like a cat would.

Was mildly cute the first time but seeing as he does it nearly once a day I'm a little concerned.

I've heard that bulging eyes while they're closed can be a good sign but I haven't found anything on the head rubbing. Thoughts?

Rex is turning blue

I noticed that as the more that Rex grows his head is turning more and more blue, I know that it’s normal color change but does that give me any indication on the gender?
Also I have noticed that he has this sort of white around his nose and I’ve taken him to the vet they said he was fine n treated him with silver sulf but it just doesn’t go away. What is this? (Picture on last slide)

Hi guys so the person who now owns my iguana she was wondering what this lump is on his leg. I was thinking a tumor can I have some opinions she says it doesn’t bother him but I’m pretty sure the symptoms don’t show up till the very end I could be wrong

Well, it's official- BoJangles is 100% a male rhino iguana.

While trimming his nails the other day, he gave me a flash lol. I've always referred to him as "he" but I never actually knew. Honestly, the more time that went on, I started to think Bo was a female, as he doesn't head bob (I've seen him briefly do it twice in the 2.5 years), and his jowels and brain bumps aren't as prominent as other males I've seen of his age.

My Boy Blitz

This is my boy blitz, named him that since he’s a similis spiny tail iguana! (Fastest lizard on earth) He is going to be upgraded this summer to a much larger enclosure (9x6x7) so I will let yall know when that happens.

Help, my iguana’s toe has fallen off.

It just arrived at my home recently, and there was some struggling and stress during handling. Today while feeding, I noticed that the claws on two of its toes are gone. The wounds aren’t bleeding and don’t look like open wounds. I’d like to ask whether they will grow back?
