Adult spiny-tailed iguana not defecating

Posted by DeeB on January 21, 2000 at 12:48:31:

I have had this spiny-tailed iguana for approx. 3 yrs - have raised him from a baby. He has always been very healthy - no problems at all & I believe I have a proper habitat for him. My problem now is that he hasn't defecated for approximately two weeks, I believe. He has never gone this long before without defecating. He is eating normally. I am wondering if he is dehydrated & if so what should I do about it? He seems active as usual. I have not normally given him a water dish. I was told they get all their moisture from the fruit & veg's they eat. Is that correct? Thanks for any help.
