 My GREEN Iguana Is Turning BROWN!

Help!
Occasionally, "June" -my baby green iguana- turns a brownish color. I usually notice this when I wake up in the morning. I have a feeling this has something to do with her heating/lighting. I currently have a UVA bulb and a UVB bulb over her enclosure for daytime use (as well as a log that she can climb to get closer to the heat source if she wants to), and a blue nighttime light. I also have a CHE, but I didn’t think I would need that during the summer months. I tried using the CHE (along with the blue nighttime light) last night, and that seemed to help. Should I try using a higher wattage heat light during the day? Or is it safe to keep a CHE on 24/7 (along with her regular heat light and UVB bulb)? Can someone tell me why baby June is turning brown???

Thanks in advance!

it would help if you post a picture of the enclosure.
iguanas usually turn brown from either being cold or from being stressed.

It would also help to know what the teps are. How old is your baby June?
