Hello,

If your iguana is having seizures, you should get her to a vet. Without the proper diagnoses and treatment, the iguana could/will die. No one on this site could even begin to tell you why the iguana is having seizures. It could be caused by an endless amount of things including toxicity, Metabolic Bone Disease, nerve damage, etc. You REALLY need to see a vet about this one.

Does she have a good, strong UVB source?

Very advanced stages of Metabolic Bone Disease could create seisures.

I agree with both of my colleagues, get her to a qualified herp vet immediately!

I agree! This is something that a vet needs to look at.
Attemptng to try and analyze it on a forum is just wasting valuable time.

I agree with the vet idea. After you've made an appointment with a reputable vet keep us updated and tell us about your husbandry so we can see if there is anything that may need a little tweaking. Tell us about her cage and her diet and all of that.
