Oh. My. God. I'm reading these post, and the bad advice scares me. Honey, take it from a four-year long iguana keeper, one who has made countless mistakes, and who now knows better...
your iguana is just expelling salts from it's body, its totally natural unless it is doing that excessively.
Someone mentioned dipping crickets in I don't know what.
Please tell me you don't feed your iguana crickets!!! iguanas are VEGETARIANS yes, they will eat meat if they are offered it, but it is way too hard on their digestive system, it will overwork their kydneys and you will get some serious kydney faliure. Here, hun, this page has all you need to know

Della is 100% correct. They get rid of excess salts when they sneeze...you'll see this white discharge on the glass. And no crickets! I'd also like to add a couple of good web sites. www.anapsid.org and www.reptilerooms.com. FYI, baby igs can be kept in large tanks, but remember that the enclosure needs to be 1 & 1/2 times taller than the ig...most people end up building their own eventually. They need quite large homes.

You need to get your Iggy in for a checkup. Upper respiratory infections in a reptile are often fatal.Look for a vet who treats exotics, as most vets have very little experience with reptiles. If you do not have one in your immediate area, a bird vet can also be very effective. Take a recent stool sample in a plastic bag, your vet will want to check for parasites, they can be very debilitating and could be possibly be at the root of your problem.

They are very sensitive animals. It would be a good idea to have a check up. And also dip his crickets in calcium powder. It's added vitamins for a better immune system.

No , nicely you may desire to think approximately many aspects , is your us of a "contaminated" ? have you ever been around those with it , it must be usual influenza or swine flu yet i doubt it extremely is swine flu. With flu season coming to an end , i heard swine flu will "lay low " in the time of the summer season and come out returned in autumn or iciness and no one knows of if it is going to genetically mutate to become extra deadly or in basic terms a similar or perhaps weaker.the only guy or woman that may extremely answer your question is a doctor who specialises in flu or something.
