: I know someone who, for unknown (to me) medical
purposes, rubbed
: alcohol on them, but was worried if it could be
absorbed, causing fatality or sickness.
: Us "mammals" prespire through the skin, but i
repties dont...right?
: How much permeability, or impermeability does
the skin of an iguana, or even a monitor have?
: Thanx.

for an iguana you eed to mist them witha clean
spray bottle or soak them in the bathtub to loosen
shedding skin also you can use mineral oil on
their skin and spikes to loosen shedding skin that
has problems coming off. mineral oil can be bought
at a drugstore its used by people to help them go
to the bathroom . people drink it thats how they
take it and it has no deadly fumes or odor ive
been using it on my iguana and no problems i would
use mineral oil instead of aloe lotion
