To DUSTIN re: Need help with sick/dying iguana

Hi, Dustin,
Well, I've done a little reading in Mader's about your ig's afflictions, and altho he didn't offer much information in the way of treatment, I think I might have a name for it: sebaceous cysts. They are frequently noted on many reptiles, particualrly the tails of green iguanas. They begin as lumps and eventually aplit open without much infectious material inside. I'm having a really hard time trying to find treatments or even possible causes. I'll keep looking. Do you have a picture of this that you can post for us? I've got a pic right here of a sebaceous cyst on an iguana's tail, and I'd like to compare. Hope this helps a little.
Best,
Jamie/JBug
