Iggy Depression?

Has anyone had any experience with thier iguanas going through a depressed phase? I swear mine is moodier than a swatted hornet.

I haven't changed anything in his environment, but he has become "withdrawn". You pet him, he closes his eyes and pretends you're not there. He was eating out of my hand and has now decided to ignore even his favourite treats. And most annoyingly of all, he tries knocking his light domes off his cage.

I've noticed this appears cyclic, during the weeks before and after he sheds. This time it seems worse, although this is the first year I've had him (had him about 10 months). Could he be getting broody because of the winter coming?
