the end of my iguana's tail is all swollen up. It looks like maybe some dead skin is constricting it. I tried to get the dead skin off but only a little came off and it seems like the rest is stuck on.

I would look at getting him to a vet. Its hard to tell if it is regrowth or necrotic tissue.

Or could it be an abscess? Definitely time for a vet visit.

my iguana had someone simular.. she was banging in when she would turn or something in her cage..
i was worried and took her to the vet..
we have a appointment next month to get about a inch removed sense my vet said its not life threating thank goodness.
