Should you spray iguanas with water?

Answer 1

You can, you can also put them in a tub off warm water if you have one that has shedding problems or like to swim.
Just to comment on someone above, iguana are NOT desert animals, they are from a tropical rainforest climate.
The best thing you can do is it to regulate the humidity level all the time though.

Answer 2

I had an iguana and don't believe I ever sprayed her. I would never get another one, as it is very difficult to keep them in the manner that they need. I could not provide her with everything she required and she probably died because of that. Poor Patricia. RIP

Answer 3

I have seen an iguana thourghly enjoy a light spritzing of water.

As long as you don't spray him too often,or when it is too cool, and you keep the iguana's home very clean there shouldn't be any problems.

Answer 4

No way! Iguanas are desert animals, that's why people put heat lamps in their tanks. Give them water to drink in a small bowl, but don't spray them.

Answer 5

Yes. You can even use "Vita-Spray" by Four Paws. It contains nutrients that are good for their skin. (contains electrolytes, which is a big plus)

Answer 6

My boyfriend used to when we had one. They shed their skin sometimes and the water helps moisten the skin so that it sloughs off more easily.

Answer 7

yes, a light mist is healthy for them...the pet store even sells a mister you can put in their home. it imitates their natural habitat in the rainforest.
