What do I do about my iguana that's shedding all the time?
 

Question My six-year-old iguana seems to be shedding all the time lately. Isn't this supposed to happen just once or twice a year?

Answer Iguanas generally only shed as they grow. The skin comes off in response to them growing their own skin. If you feel that you have seen excessive changes in the skin molting pattern, have a veterinarian examine your iguana.
