With the brown spots you mean along his back? Seems just his normal colour pattern...
What makes you think it could be something?

The "brown spots" can change intensity. Like when stressed but also when soaking up more heat. Rango looks cute and healthy to me.

He looked a lot greener when he first shed his skin and they got bigger and darker but I think he’s just getting ready to shed again...what do u think about his home?

You called him Rango...with a name like that should expect changes in colour! ;).

They do get dull before going into shed.

To me looks like it is time to rehome him into something bigger. The current one does look nicely decorated though.

His House looks un lit and un heated ...if you think the window light is adding value to his health you are making a mistake ...

The glass blocks all UV ... only the heat on sunny days provides warmth. Do you have any UVB lamps ...the type that say caution do not expose yourself to this lamp *** warning***...They have UV radiation type lamps that would actually give you a tan. See tanning beds, that is UV light

Repti sun by Zoo Med is one lamp for lizards we all like ...there are many supplies

Tube lamps

Without UV lights or direct sunlight the iggy can not process calcium into it’s system and make strong bones...deformities associated with" metabolic bone disease" can and will show up down the road.

You can start by providing the proper light/heat...food and supplements. Be happy to share how / what those are if you need assistance...

Merry Christmas
