 Warm Water+Ig=Black Skin???

Whenever I put Ig in the bath...(warm water, not too hot)...his skin turns kinda blackish....then when i take him out and wrap him up in a washcloth to dry him off, his skin goes back to green. He is absolutely the greenest Iguana I have ever seen, but it turns black in warm water, is this normal, is something wrong, or do I need to take measures to correct a problem???

Make sure the water is luke warm...not too hot. Sleestack changes color in warm water too...but he is the opposite. He turns very light.
