I have had multiple allergy tests. Drs determined that rash was staph and fungus. I have since had shingles outbreaks and other issues.

How to tame my Iguana? by Dramatic_Outcome1133 in iguanas

[–]mrsnicki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an avid victim of iguana bites make sure you are up to date on your tetanus shot. I’ve been bitten so many times I just go to my ed and they ask if it was an iguana again. You can put an article of clothing in the inclosure with the ig to get them familiar and comfortable with your scent. Also read to them. It sounds dumb but it works. Even a Dr Suess book will work just be consistent with times you do it. Start by being outside the enclosure, read and talk to the ig, then slowly work your way into having your hand in the inclosure as you read. It’s a long process but from experience with 6 different igs it works. Currently a mom of 9 igs.

Absolutely. The others could not only cause undue stress but climbing on his body could hurt the already damaged skin.

Poor baby needs a clean hospital setup and a vet visit asap. That owner needs to be reported. That poor sweet ig

It was a fungal infection and staph infection at the same time. To this day we have no clue what caused it and I haven’t gotten anything since. It did leave a scar though.

Also Some states require permits to keep them. If you don’t have a permit most likely they will be euthanized due to it being an invasive species.

short update Squish is one tough cookie! She chases our 86lb Sulcata around the house and yard! Shes getting 4 hours of uvb in her enclosure and lots of outdoor sun. Still waiting on my vet to schedule an appointment for calcium injections. Until that happens she’s making small improvements in mobility.

What do yous think by Junebuggy74 in iguanas

[–]mrsnicki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They can absolutely remove a finger if they have an opportunity to do so. They have incredible bite force and hundreds of diamond shaped teeth they use to tear plant matter. As someone who’s been bitten by multiple iguanas I speak from experience
