Why does my iguana bite itself?

Posted by sari on February 17, 2001 at 23:19:11:

Hi, i bought and iguana last summer. Everything was fine untill it started to bite itself and charge the cage. I talked to an owner of a pet shop, he said that the iguana charging the glass of it's cage is normal, but it might be biting itself because it has mites. We baught the spray and they recomeneded something the hangs on top of the cage and deters mites. He bite his knee and the sking broke. This he has done to both knees. It also bites it's tail occasionally. I treated it for mites but it wont stop biting itself. I thought it was lonely or something but i dojn't think it would hurt itself like this unless it was physically irtated by mites or something of that nature. If anyone can help i would really appreciate it. Thanks.
