spitting iguana

[blue_skys_lisa]

i have no clue if this is normal but izzy spits out his nose. What is this about? is he allergic to anything?

[Andyr]

he's expelling salts.

so thats at all normal? eveyone i have talked to said they didn't know or that it wasn't normal.
thanks

...Andyr is right. Iggys expell excess salts by sneezing them out through their noses. Ususlly seen as white streaks down the glass....or in your hair. Yes....I speak from experience!! :rolleyes:

i got it in the face as i was putting food in their. What a pig...he could of waited...just kidding,
well thanks that solves my problem, i was going to take him to the vet which probably would of cossed me a fortune. i should take him to the vet anyways just to make sure he is healthy and what not. He looks healthy to me but i am so worried i am not doing things right. But i know some guy that all he feeds to his iguana is rats and crickets and its still alive....and i would never do that.
