AnswerHi Patricia
I am so very sorry for the delay in answering your question but I have not been well
It could be that the brown spots are dead skin that has not completely come off from a shed or it might just be a change in skin pigment
Make sure that your are providing enough moisture during a shed-misting or soaking are two good ways of doing this
Iggy's do have color patterns on their green bodies but to make sure that this is normal coloration and not a health issue I would like to suggest that you visit this forum
You should be able to find a more definitive answer to your question here from the many Iggy keepers here
Good Luck with your Iguana
