m8r8j Dec 04, 2007 05:06 PM

not sure what it looks liek when wet, or if it is even wet, but there are a bunch of spots in the cage where there are two yellow piles of powder, possibly from nostrils... what may this be? and how do i get my iguana to poop thanks

sounds like your iguana's urea [their form of nitrogenous waste, ours is called 'urine'].
In other words, he is "pooping," but doesn't have enough food in his belly to create the black/brown clump you're waiting for. Feed him more, make sure he has good temps.
