Is this UVB light a good option for my green iguana?

I just purchased this reptisun 10.0 T5 HO uvb light in hopes that it is the right amount of uvb for my green iguana? I know that ppl usually recommend Arcadia but this is what they had at the pet store.

Is Arcadia tortoise diet safe for a rhinoceros iguana?

I’m away on a trip and my mother picked up the Arcadia earth pro tortoise diet for testudo tortoises instead of the usual mazuri low starch tortoise diet I usually get. I messaged Arcadia but didn’t get a response and thought this would be my best bet. I’ll also add I only use it to supplement fresh vegetables and fruit. I would rather it not go to waste!

Swelling or fat?

Where he's been healing from a broken leg, I was told to give him calcium powder everyday with his food for a bit. I just stopped giving it everyday today I've noticed his thighs and the base of his tail feel fuller. Is he just eating good would should I be concerned for his kidney? He has another follow up appointment coming up next week. I've just been stressed worrying about it 😅 Opinions please?

Hes so mean to me sometimes...I've always loved toxic men 😭☠️

He always gets so moody when he's shedding. He cracks me up, I swear. I love how he tries to slap me, it kills me.

New Green Iguana Rescue

This is Inigo Montoya. We rescued him inside a building when it was very, very cold out. He’s very friendly and doesn’t seem to mind being handled.

We have four very nice ball python set ups so we’re a little familiar with reptile and habitats although I know his care is going to be much different

We currently have a very large tank. I want to say 55 gallon that we’re going to use until we can get a much larger enclosure set up for for him/her.

Researching UV lights and I see Arcadia mentioned quite a bit, but I’ve also seen a reptisun T5 at our local pet shop… Is there a specific output we should be looking for?

He hasn’t tried to eat anything from us. We only had fruit around the house and I know he probably needs turnips or mustard greens so we will work on getting him that ASAP.

Any other advice is welcome!!

TIA

You never see them like this. No bone issues calcium problems no aggression. Like you couldn't find a better iguana. Also mind you his tail is dragging on the floor.
