You should not have to worm a C.B.Iguana from a good breeder like D.Blare that doesnt have a bunch of sick animals around.Your wasting money,like thousands of people do daily.You dont need a Vet.You can do it yourself,if it really needs it by buying the wormer from a feed store.There is lots of information on worming avalable for the correct dose and meds.Unless your Igunans eating cat poop,or its around other sick animals it dosn't need to be wormed,it could even be harmfull.There are exceptions,if they go into ponds with fish or turtles.Maybe pick up Flukes from a snale.You should be able to find a Reptile Vet.that will do fecals without bringing in the animal.We used to get a Vet. to come to our Herp Club meetings and set up.Everyone got a good deal,including the Vet.Ive had wild cought Iguanas that lived for 25 yrs.Save your money for something important that a Vet can help you with like an injury,burn ect.There are no Reptile Meds.Good luck with your new beast,its captive born and should be very long lived.Vic
