Hello! My iguana Nig the Ig is potty trained in the bath tub, every morning 45 minutes after warming up he goes strait to the tub, poops, then goes about his day fine till the next morning, amazing!. H free roams in my room but has his own basking net with a lamp and a ladder going up to it about 4 and a half feet tall that he loves. My question is what do I have to do to potty train him to go in a big tub of water if I where to put it under his basking net thing I built (I will post a pic so you gusy better understand his living conditions.)

Other question is has anyone ever had to push or pull with tweezers, the skin on the inside of there nostroles? these werent salt deposits but skin that he couldnt get off himself for a month or two. last night he was breathing out of his mouth, tried to close his nose and barely was able to breath out of his nose. While he was sleeping he kept on blowing are or atempting to out of his nose. Finally today or this morning I pulled out the eyebrow tweezers in the bathroom and had to clear his nostroles. It was wierd they where thick enough to block his nose air but when inspected closely where like little tubes, never had to do this before and have had him for a little over two years. But I adopted him and hes now over 3 years old, 3 and a half feet long but not very thick.

has anyone on here ever heard of this or had to do this? I have never read it in a book and was scared I was going to hurt him, he let out a big breath of air when I unplugged the first one and did the other one in just a few seconds. I just thought it was odd.

I will post pics of the thing I built tommorow.
