Bud's spikes are standing straight, kinda... but they're breaking off at the tips. His vet said that there isn't much of anything we can do about it aside from keeping them clean and making sure the shoots come off when they shed.

The spikes breaking off at the tips is usually a sign of too low humidity

Dizzy's spikes are breaking off but it appears that they have curved so far as to cut off their own blood flow, the breaks are clean and do not bleed, ill post some pictures if I think abiut it tomorrow.

My iguanas spikes stand up, but then they are so long they lay down a little. So I guess its like a "curve" look.

Uh tonight he showed me whos boss. I was feeding him, petting him, he was enjoying it. Well he finished his food. Started walking away, then all of a sudden he turned around and bolted at me, jumped on my back and climbed on my head. No idea why he did this. So I took him upstairs to give him a bath. He freaked out once he was in the bathtub, jumped out, charged me and tried biting.

I do understand this is his breeding period, but I sure do hope it ends soon.
