My iguana's skin looks dull and it's not shedding properly. What's wrong?

[]

Answer

Improper shedding in iguanas (dysecdysis) often points to issues with husbandry, particularly humidity levels, diet, or underlying health problems. Ensure your iguana's enclosure has appropriate humidity, often achieved with misting or a humidifier, and that their diet is balanced with proper calcium and vitamin D3 supplementation. Low temperatures can also impact shedding. A veterinarian specializing in reptiles can assess your iguana's overall health and provide specific recommendations for husbandry adjustments or medical treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
